Email Your large files for Free!
So what do you know, it's a double play Sunday!
I just finished watching the Steelers beat the Seahawks in Superbowl XL and when I got back to my trusty computer, I discovered another great freebie to pass on to you.
A friend of mine sent me this and of course I'm passing it on to you ;=)
Question, have you ever had a large file that needed to be emailed to someone but when you tried, your email server kicked it out with the error message, "file exceeds the maximum number of megabytes allowed"!
That's right, many of the email servers out there, especially the free ones, (ie. Yahoo, net zero, hotmail, ect), have a ceiling on the size of an attachment you can send or receive by email. This is usually around 3 to 5mb's which most of the time is more than enough.
But what about those family vacation photos or that special song or project for work? Sometimes those files can climb into the 70 plus megabyte rang, with some files reaching up to 1 gig! Well, short of having your own FTP server, you had to try to compress these files or, heaven forbid, burn a CD and send it by snail mail!
Well I've got the answer! Go to YouSendIt.com! There you can send file, up to 100 megabytes, for free and you don't even have to signup for an account! Just go to the home page, enter the email of who you want to send the file to then, click the browse file button to find the file you want to send, click and that's it, you're done!
Once the file is uploaded, you'll get a completed message and a link to your file will be sent by email to your recipient and also to you! Isn't that great!
Here are a couple of more that are also free and user friendly to. SendThisFile.com is simular to You Send It and just as easy to use and the one my friend sent me, SendOver.com claims you can send up to 2gig!
Anything bigger than that and you're on your own :-)
Until next time, keep looking for those "Goodies and Deals"!
