Sending large email attachments easily
Ever have a problem sending large attachments in your emails? Yousendit is the answer. It allows you to upload files up to 1GB, emailing the file recipients and providing them with a link to download. Up to 100 people can download the file, and it remains up for seven days.
Best of all, the basic service described above is completely FREE. There is also an enhanced service for only $4.99 per month.
I tried YouSendIt. It's good, but...
I use Outlook, a new plug-in that integrates FTP into Outlook. Its similar in operation to YSI, except that you need to use your own web host. That's fine with me, because for $7/mo I get 75GB of space and 1TB transfer -- MUCH cheaper than YSI.
OutDisk installs as an email toolbar button. Open a new email, click OutDisk, select your files, and send your message. OutDisk FTP's the file to your disk, and inserts a download link into the email. It works very slick. I'm in a 2 week trial, but this is one I plan to buy. You can get the trial at http://www.encryptomatic.com/outdisk

Another such service is http://dropster.org. It is free, does not require software installation, has open APIs and allows you to use your own (sub-)domain for hosted files.
