Thursday, December 28th, 2006

I am often asked by clients how to send large files. They usually want to FedEx a CD or they start asking me questions about FTP. Don’t mess with it! Just use one of the apps below.

  1. You Sent It (web based, no registration required for 100mb or less)
  2. Send This File (registration required, no limit)
  3. Drop Send (registration required, 250mb or less)
  4. Drop Load (registration required, 100mb or less)
  5. Upload.sc (web based, free for 100mb or less)
  6. Pando (downloadable app, free to use)
