Guide Review - SendThisFile - Large File Sending Service
A free SendThisFile account and a simple form let you send files of any size (your browser may impose a limit of 2 GB) to any email recipient. Bandwidth is shared among free users, but I have found it always to be speedy. It's a pity that files are only kept up to three days and may be deleted at any time when the needs dictate. Again, I did not encounter any such instance.
For paid accounts, the form and SendThisFile gain many an option. Files are guaranteed to be available for six days, of course, you can protect them with a password, track downloads, store files in encrypted form, customize the emails sent from SendThisFile, and even integrate it in your web site to receive large files from anyone, for example.
Many plans combine these features up to the completely branded file transfer via email solution. But even a free SendThisFile account is a great, fast, simple and reliable way to send even the largest file via email.
