10 ways to send Large Files. Best Delivery Services.
You want to send an email attachment from your Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo account but then it says you are exceeding the attachment limit of your email provider. Yet you absolutely need to send this file.
Many online delivery services offer a huge disk space to store your videos, photos, archives, mp3, music, software… to share them with others.
Let’s review few of them in this article:
TransferBIGfiles is maybe one of the most amazing delivery service on internet. No file size limits and no Sign Up required.
With YouSendIt you can send up to 2Gb with the Pro account for $9.99 per month or sign up for a free account and send up to 100MB per file. Files are stored for only 7 days and you are limited to 1GB of bandwidth.
MegaUpload offers up to 500MB storage. Users can upgrade to the Premium account for a monthly or annual plan and upload 250GB per file.
Zupload is another delivery system offering 500MB storage for free. But unlike MegaUpload, you have unlimited downloads, the website is simple and fast to upload. Files are available for download for 30 days.
LargeFilesAsap offers 2GB per file. Sounds interesting, right? But there is a catch. Files are only available for 48 hours and you are limited to 5 downloads per file. You have to upgrade to increase the number of allowed downloads. Anyway, it still remains an interesting solution if you need to send very huge files.
DropSend allows you to send 1GB for free. With the Free account, files can be downloaded 7 times and you can only upload 5 files per month. Besides, there is only 250MB of online storage and files expires after 7 days. If you need more online storage DropSend offers four other plans (Basic, Standard, Pro and Business). The business plan is up to 250GB of online storage for $99 per month.
MediaFire is definitely my favourite delivery system mostly because the files never expires and because the website is really clean. You can upload up to 100MB per file. It is not that much but no Sign Up is required and there is unlimited disk space. You can create folders to organize your files and/or create galleries to preview your photos. In addition, you can link to your files from your MySpace page, your blog, or forums. Really great website.
Send 100MB per file with MailBigFile. Your files will be virus scanned when sending. The Pro version offers 2GB for $19 per month.
Sendago is actually not an online delivery service but a software. I mention it on this list because it is fast with unlimited size file and you can use your existing e-mail account to send files. There’s only one catch. You are prompted to create a Sendago account at the end of the installation.
Very similar to Sendago, Pando is an interesting software to send huge files despite the fact that you can only upload 1GB at a time (still a lot more than what most of us need). As Sendago, you can use your existing email and no registration is required. On the front page you can read: “Publish downloadable videos, photos and audio to any web site”.

I use to sendtoperson.com but it’s not listed in here. So, let me tell why it’s different from others. Lets you use your own domain name and custom branding. You can also have unlimited user accounts, so you don’t need to manage users or licenses. The custom encryption key feature lets you send large file securely over the net. The feature of sending as large as 2 gigs and that to lots of recipients at the same time for free. You can forward the same file to other recipients without uploading it again.

Once you transfer files with Binfer you will never use upload based services. Binfer can transfer very large files directly from computer to computer with automatic resumes.
