If you’re like most people, you probably send large files over the internet using services like Dropbox or Google Drive. But what if you want to send a file that’s too big for either of those services? One solution is to use services like YouSendIt, which let you send large files over the internet without having to worry about them taking up space on your device or sending them slowly. You simply upload the file, choose a recipient, and hit send. You can also use YouSendIt to share files with friends and family who live far away. Simply create a group account and share files with everyone in it. Plus, if someone doesn’t have YouSendIt installed on their computer, they can still download it for free from the website. ..
I think this service actually comes in most handy when I am at work. Sometimes other companies we deal with do not have FTP sites and most email services do not allow attachments over 10 MB. In fact we limit our attachment size to under 8 MB. Large email attachments can really slow down your network. I have enough to deal with during the day let a lone a slow network because someone is sending vacation pictures to their co-worker in the other cube.
The maximum size is only 100 MB for the free version. You can send larger files for a fee. They recently announced a local client application for download for this service which works very well. It also has a slick user friendly interface which is always a plus.
