February 4, 2011 — Campbell, Calif., – YouSendIt, the global leader in secure digital content delivery, announced today that the company has received a Red Herring Global 100 Award.

Companies are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, including financial performance, technological innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration.
"Choosing the best out of the previous three years was by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, Chairman of Red Herring. "After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed down our list from 1,200 potential companies to 200 finalists. Trying to get it down to 100 companies was a task upon itself. YouSendIt, Inc. should be extremely proud of its achievement, the competition was difficult."
More than 15 million users and 2,500 corporations rely on YouSendIt to securely send, receive and track files of all types. It is used to transfer files that are too large to send via e-mail and eliminates the need for expensive overnight couriers and cumbersome FTP sites.

Founded in 2004, YouSendIt was working in the cloud before the term was even coined. At first the service was a simple way to send the large attachments that email couldn’t process, but has since grown to become a robust suite of online file storage and management capabilities. Today, the company serves 40 million registered users across 193 countries and 98 percent of the Fortune 500.
