There’s nothing worse than having some clueless person clog up your inbox with a multi-MB file attachment.
If you ever need to send a large file to someone and FTP’ing is not an option, burning a CD and sending it overnight just seems like a huge waste of resources, and you don’t want to create an account with some clunky online file sharing website, you might want to do what I do and send the file via YouSendIt.
What I like about YouSendIt is that you don’t even have to create an account to send a file.
- Just fill in the recipient’s e-mail address.
- Fill in your e-mail address.
- Add an optional small note (100 characters or less).
- Attach the file and hit “send.”
The recipient gets an email from YouSendIt (not from you) that he or she has a file waiting and can click the handly link in the e-mail to download the file. Recipients have seven days to download the file; otherwise it’s toast. It’s virus free and totally secure.
With the free account, you can send files up to 100MB, and if you want to pay YouSendIt has convenient monthly plans that will allow you to increase your file size permissions.

EXCELLENT suggestion. YouSendIt is a terrific resource that I’ve been looking for.
