YouSendIt: An Easy, Secure Fileshare Option

Fileshare

The success a company has with its fileshare programs can be determined long before the first document is even sent through the cloud by an employee. It begins with selecting a tool that will satisfy professionals’ collaboration practices, as well as the level of security needed to protect sensitive information.

These days, wading through all the fileshare tools available can be a difficult task. With the enormous growth of cloud computing during the past several years, products are hitting the market on what seems to be a near-constant basis. FolderShare and ShareFile are two products that have joined the fold, but it’s up to the company to ensure that whichever tool it chooses for file hosting and sharing is the right one.

No other free fileshare platform can quite match the capabilities and efficiency gains provided by YouSendIt, however. That’s because YouSendIt offers everything an organization can want or need in a fileshare tool -- from speed and security to oversight, governance and an unmatched level of customization.

Free file sharing: Affordable, secure and effective

Even with high-speed Internet connections, file downloads can sometimes feel like they take an eternity. Anyone who has ever shared files online can attest to how frustrating it can be to sit at a desk watching the progress bar as it slowly creeps across the computer screen.

In addition to solving this problem, YouSendIt takes many of the complications out of file sharing to ensure no unwarranted stress is added to the process. It’s quick, easy and only requires three steps:

  1. Log in to your YouSendIt account (free and paid subscriptions are available).
  2. Enter your email address, as well as those of whoever will receive shared files
  3. Select your file and hit the "Send It" button

Within mere minutes, your file upload will be complete and the information will be sent to the appropriate parties. No more waiting and no more hassles.

But ease-of-use certainly isn’t where the benefits of using free fileshare tools from YouSendIt end. From security to governance, users have it all at their fingertips to ensure the best possible experience when using fileshare programs.

No more limitations

The file size limits enforced by email clients and the unreliability of file transfer protocol (FTP) severely hinder what users can and can’t send. That’s no longer the case because YouSendIt’s tool can support file sizes of up to 2GB with a free subscription..

Enhanced security

YouSendIt offers a level of security that is unparalleled when it comes to free fileshare tools. Between a seven-layer security policy and Secure Sockets Layer encryption, users are provided protection that meets even the strictest compliance standard.

Anywhere, anytime transfers

Plug-ins for popular enterprise email platforms and applications -- such as Microsoft Outlook and Adobe Acrobat and Photoshop --; make sending files a breeze no matter which computer you’re using. And a dedicated iPhone application makes on-the-go sharing a simple task.

Governance

Unlike other free fileshare systems, YouSendIt lets you track each step of the way when sending files. That includes download status and who is sharing information.
