Sending
Large Files
Sending large
file attachments via e-mail can be tricky once you start heading north
of 10 to 20 MB in size. E-mail clients often limit attachment sizes
and any small businesses that work with large presentations, audio
or video files that are hundreds of megabytes or larger in size have
to resort to using FTP sites or overnight delivery. All of that just
to send an electronic file? Oi vey!
On the other hand,
you never have to worry about that with YouSendIt.com.
YouSendIt is a Web based subscription service that is designed to
allow you to send large files (photos, MP3 files, artwork, videos,
etc.) to anyone, anytime, anywhere. And you can do all of that without
either you or your recipient having to install any software. Keep
reading for the whole scoop!
Basically, you
just select a file to send and you upload it to YouSendIt's server.
The person you're sending the file to then receives an e-mail from
YouSendIt that contains a link to your file. They can then click on
the link and download the file. Now, what's even more exciting about
the new YouSendIt software is that it can resume uploads as well.
I'm sure you know the frustration that comes when you're uploading
a 100 MB file from a Web uploader, when suddenly, the Internet connection
breaks or your browser crashes for some unknown reason. With the new
YouSendIt uploader, all of that is a thing of the past, because it
will resume any file upload from the exact point of where it stopped
earlier. Then once the file is successfully uploaded and sent to your
intended recipients, you will receive an e-mail confirmation automatically.
Cool, huh?!
How it Works
First of all,
say bye-bye to bounced e-mails, clogged Inboxes, FTP servers and overnight
courier services. YouSendIt.com allows you to send, track and receive
files electronically. It is also one of the most popular digital delivery
services on the Web today. You can't beat that!
To send a file:
1.) Enter the
recipient's e-mail address and an optional message if you wish to
do so.
2.) Attach your
file and then click Send It.
3.) Your recipients
will then receive an e-mail that allows them to immediately click
and download the file you sent over.
