Need to send a file to a friend or colleague, but it's too large for your email system to handle? No problem, just upload it to a web server and send the recipient a download link.

And while YouSendIt appears to be going after enterprise users by offering ...

Did somebody mention an explosion of services for sending and receiving files too large to be email attachments?

Frustrated at the file size limits with email services like Gmail and Yahoo! Mail? Most email providers won't let you send file attachments larger than 10 or 20MB. That's led to the rise of a new crop of web services like MailBigFile and YouSendIt which let you send files up to 100MB for free. For a fee, you can send larger files. The problem with web-based applications is that if your browser ...

YouSendIt, MailBigFile and a host of other web services have popped up due to the simple fact that most email services won't let you send really large attachments.
