Send Large Attachments for Free Without FTP
I wanted to share a handy tool called YouSendIt that I use quite a bit when I want to send large files to someone without the hassle of FTP servers. You just upload your file to the YouSendIt site, enter the email addresses of the people you want to share the file with, and then add an optional message to go with the email. YouSendIt then emails a link to the addresses you listed that allows people to view or download that file.
You can send up to 100 MB and 100 downloads for free. The link stays active for a few weeks (I couldn’t find the exact date in their help section).
Their free service has always met my needs, but you also have the option for paying for additional features, like:
- Files up to 2GB
- Password protection
- File tracking
I just wanted to pass it along because I find it a quick and useful way to shoot a file off to someone without having to upload it to your own server.
