sending a large file via the Internet

Have you ever tried to include a file in an e-mail and not be able to attach it because it is too large?

If so, you may have problems finding the answer ... but there is a FREE solution.

There are free tools on the Web that allow you to upload a large file and either indicate who the recipient is or then let the recipient know where to go to download it ... for FREE.

Most free offerings allow a file as large as 200MB. A few offer as large as 300MB and there is one that allows any size file ... but you only get to do it three times for free.

There is a way to send even larger files by splitting them before uploading and combining them after downloading. More on this in another blog item.

Memeo is free for the first three uploads (no file size limit!) then you pay as you go.

Sendspace is very easy to use and allows for up to 300MB file size.

Mediafire is another 200MB limit facility.

4shared is an easy file transfer facility and handles up to 200MB size files.

Rapidshare is a free facility and allows for file size up to 200MBs and up to ten e-mail addresses.

Just locate the file on your PC and use Rapidshare to identify users you want to make the file available to.

Wikisend is another file transfer offering and allows for up to 100MB ... thx to Bryan for identifying this one.
