Question About Sending Large Files Like WAVs...

[guitarfool2002]

I used YouSendIt off and on for years to send large files with parts of a mix like a group of WAV files or zip files or whatever, anything too large for email but not business related, but now YouSendIt has put a limit on the size of each delivery at 50MB. Anything over that, I got a message saying it would cost 9.99 US per delivery, which is absurd.

Can anyone recommend another (free, if possible...) service along the lines of YouSendIt, or at least a good, reliable paid service where I won't get hit with malware and pop-ups if I subscribe to the service? I'm out of the loop with this and I'm guessing the obvious answer is staring me right in the face.

Thanks in advance!

Dropbox is fabulous. You get 2GB free, and every account has a public folder where you can store files and easily provide download links for others.

Thank you for the suggestion, that may be the solution I needed! Cheers!

YouSendIt? Welcome, o traveler from the year 2004 AD. Here, have a taco.

  I agree, I don't like updating much on my PC if what I already have works when I need it. But YouSendIt worked, it was free (best of all!), and for the very few times I needed it the service delivered the goods. Not saying it was great, and I'd use others for more important or business-related things, but YouSendIt was good until they got greedy. 9.99 for files over 50MB? That's a travesty.

You might want to check out www.4shared.com. It has a limit of something like 10GB before you have to pay.

It is. I think megaupload (which has a file limit of a 800 megs, I believe, and is free) has existed since 2006, and there are countless other free ones that have a 200-300 meg limit, allow for you to have a free account (thus ensuring your stuff doesn't get deleted) etc. etc. etc. How YouSendit thinks they can get away with something like that is strange.
