In today's day and age, transferring files is a pain in the ass. Sure, there's email or instant messenger if you want to transfer a single file from A to B -- but what if there's an attachment size limit on your email, or a firewall preventing you from sending files? What if you want to transfer whole directories? It's certainly possible but it's painful. Then there's FTP, an ancient technology ...

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. If you don't have your own server, there are plenty of services that offer the ability to send large files for free, or even larger files for a fee. Here are a few of my favorites: YouSendIt MailBigFile ...

Google, Zoho, 37signals and other companies have done an excellent job of demonstrating that some applications don't need to be desktop based. In fact, web-based calendars, office applications, and chat services offer many advantages over desktop versions like easy collaboration without the need for an Exchange server. But some applications really make a lot more sense on the desktop. Case in ...

Online document sharing service Docstoc has launched a new product that lets you email files that exceed your email service provider's file size limits.

Just select the file you want to email and Docstoc OneClick will upload it in the background and open up an email window ...

It seems like every day a new company comes along with a service that lets you send huge files over email. Or rather, they let you upload a file to a server and then send the download link to a friend. Filemail may be one of the newer kids on the block, but there's a lot to like about this service. Filemail lets users send files up to 2GB for free. You can also password protect your files, and ...

Once upon a time if you wanted to share files too large to send as email attachments, you would upload them to an FTP site. But not everyone has an FTP site lying around, and so web services like YouSendIt, MailBigFile, and Driveway have stepped up to the plate. While YouSendIt it probably the most familiar name of the bunch, the service only lets users send files up to 100MB for free. For ...

Ever need to send a file to a friend, relative, or colleague, only to be stymied by your email provider's 10 or 20MB file attachment limit? There are plenty of sites out there that help you get around this restriction, including YouSendIt, MailBigFile, and Driveway. But while each site lets you send large files, there's still a cap on free file transfers. PipeBytes doesn't cap your file ...

There seems to be a race going on with web startups rushing to offer the ability to send enormous files across the globe without FedEx or FTP. While some of the early players in the game like YouSendIt and MailBigFile have established some name recognition for themselves, they're hardly the only games in town at this point. 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? It looks like newcomer Driveway has its sights set on services like YouSendIt and MailBigFile. All three services work pretty much the same way.

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. While Google upped its email attachment limit to 20MB this week, if you've got a 100MB file, you're still better off using a third party service. But opening a browser window or tab and waiting for a file to upload just isn't that much ...
