Big file sending can cause headaches


Big file sending can cause headaches
28 December 2007

Ever had a huge file to send to someone and found zipping it didn’t shrink it significantly?

Most of us at one time or another have faced that problem. Sending CDs through the post isn’t the answer, as we know. Nor is trusting to luck and sending a massive file as an email attachment.

Instead of couriers or complicated FTP file transfers, why not try out the free trial offer from YouSendIt.com, a digital delivery company that specialises in transferring large files over the internet. Its secure and easy-to-use online service enables businesses and individuals to send important files of any kind, as large as 2 gigabytes each, in a branded environment with recipient authentication, automated content tracking and secure transmission.

There are two ways to try out the service. Firstly, there is the free Lite account which allows the sending of files of up to 100MB and has a monthly download bandwidth limit of 1GB. To send files of up to 2GB there is the option to pay $8.99 (£4.50).

Packages aimed at business and with a 2GB file size limit start at $9.99 (£5) per month. Each of the three enterprise-class packages are on free trial should you wish to evaluate the service.
