Sending monster sized files
Submitted by jason on Tue, 08/19/2008 - 15:48.
Email has been used to send files back and forth for a long time. Even though email was not originally meant as a medium for doing this, the need created the demand to do so. Most people send files this ways and for the most part it works great.
But what about these monster sized files that our email client spits back at us? In these cases email alone just doesn't cut it. Below are services and software that meet this need in their own unique ways. As with most of the stuff we recommend they all have a free version that many times is sufficient for most users.
