March 12, 2008 How to Send Big Files Online
By Jeffrey L. Wilson

October 10, 2007 Eliminate the Hassles and Expenses of Sending Large Files
By Small Biz Advice, Technology, Audio

In this age of speed and instant communication small businesses of all types regularly have the need to send large files such as digital images, audio, video, PDFs & more on a regular basis.
Many times when we send a large file we experience email bounce-backs or have no idea if the file successfully made it to the intended recipient. This then means we have to manually follow up to insure receipt and doing so cost time and money to the business. It would be a great help if this waste of time and effort could be eliminated.[more]

August 1, 2007 YouSendIt: the online Fedex for large files
By Ubergizmo

The free service (file under 100MB) is quite simple to use on YouSendIt, it is accessible right from the homepage, no need to register to send a file under 20 MB. According to Ranjith Kumaran, the main differentiator from their competitors is the quality of their customer support and the reliability of their platform (security and data recovery). If you pay attention to YouSendIt services page, there is a line mentioning the email support response time, which is quite unique. There is a Photoshop and an Outlook plug-in that allow users to send files right from those applications (I did not test). YouSendIt is among the 100 companies selected for the AO100 awards. [more]

July 24, 2007 E-mail Attachments: Size No Longer Matters
By Lauren Simonds

Sending large file attachments via e-mail can be tricky once you start heading north of 10 or 20MB. E-mail clients limit attachment sizes, and small businesses that work with large presentations, audio or video files that can be hundreds of megabytes or larger in size have to rely on FTP sites or overnight delivery just to send an electronic file.

Enter YouSendIt.com, a Web-based subscription service that's designed to let you send large files to anyone, anytime, anywhere, without either you or your recipient installing any software. You select a file to send and upload it to You Send It's server. The person you're sending it to receives an e-mail from You Send It that contains a link to your file. They click on the link, and download the file. [more]

July 13, 2007 Upload Large Files to YouSendIt from Desktop, Can Resume Uploads
By Amit Agarwal

What's exciting about the new YouSendIt software is that it can resume uploads - you know the frustration when you are uploading a 100 MB file from the web uploader when suddenly the internet connection breaks or the browser crashes for some reason.

With the new YouSendIt uploader, that problem may be a thing of the past as it will resume file upload from the exact point where it broke earlier. Once the file is successfully uploaded and sent to the intended recipients, you get an email confirmation automatically. [more]

June 18, 2007 Webware 100 Award Winner YouSendIt
By Webware staff

YouSendIt is a file-sharing service. It allows receivers to get files by clicking standard URL links. Since YouSendIt stores files on its own servers, you have to upload what you want to share, but then you don't have to leave your PC on to allow people to pick it up. The hosted transfer model isn't as flexible as peer-to-peer sharing, but it is easier to use for both senders and receivers. [more]

By Angela Hey Mountain View Voice

E-mailing large files can be frustrating, especially when you've found out too late that an e-mail bounced and the recipient didn't open the file.

Presentations, videos, photos and music that exceed the 20 megabyte size limit imposed by many e-mail services are problematic. Some e-mail services can't store large files, although Yahoo touts unlimited e-mail storage and Google offers nearly 3 gigabytes.
