July 24, 2007 E-mail Attachments: Size No Longer Matters
By Lauren Simonds

Sending large file attachments via e-mail can be tricky once you start heading north of 10 or 20MB. E-mail clients limit attachment sizes, and small businesses that work with large presentations, audio or video files that can be hundreds of megabytes or larger in size have to rely on FTP sites or overnight delivery just to send an electronic file.

Enter YouSendIt.com, a Web-based subscription service that's designed to let you send large files to anyone, anytime, anywhere, without either you or your recipient installing any software. You select a file to send and upload it to YouSendIt's server. The person you're sending it to receives an e-mail from You Send It that contains a link to your file. They click on the link, and download the file. [more]

Over a Secure Link
By Angela Hey Mountain View Voice

E-mailing large files can be frustrating, especially when you've found out too late that an e-mail bounced and the recipient didn't open the file.

Presentations, videos, photos and music that exceed the 20 megabyte size limit imposed by many e-mail services are problematic. Some e-mail services can't store large files, although Yahoo touts unlimited e-mail storage and Google offers nearly 3 gigabytes.
