Send Large Files Via Email
Posted: March 05, 2012
Do you often find yourself needing to email large files without the capability to do so? Many email clients, especially the web-based clients, have limited capacity to send attachments the size we often need to. Unless you can afford to have your own hosted FTP account you must either send multiple emails with only one or two attached files each or everything has to go on a disk and mailed the “old fashioned way”.

One of the most useful tools I have found online is YouSendIt.com. YouSendIt is what I call a starving writer’s FTP account. For as little as $4.17 per month for a professional account, you have a tool through which you can upload numerous files, up to 2GB each, and have them sent to the recipient of your choice. The recipient will receive an email letting them know you have sent them files and they are provided a link to which they can then download what you have sent. It is very easy to use and reliable.
I cannot begin to tell you how much money this service has saved me, not to mention time. If you are looking for an easy to use, cost effective, and efficient way to send large files via email YouSendIt might just be solution for you.
