TransferBigFiles.com - Free Large File Sending Service

TransferBigFiles.com makes it easy to deliver larger files (up to 1000 MB) to email recipients, and the files can even be protected with a password. Unfortunately, files sent through TransferBigFiles.com are available to be downloaded by the recipient for a mere five days. Amenities like an address book, distribution lists and email program integration would be nice.

Files and the space allotted to email accounts have grown, but the maximum size of a single email that can be received often has not. As you try to send GB-sized attachments, you will often meet delivery failures and bounced messages.

One solution, of course, is to post the file to a server and then send the link. Compared to attaching the file to an email, this is arduous a task — too arduous often. TransferBigFiles.com makes it a lot easier, however.

Through a simple web interface, TransferBigFiles.com lets you send larger files to email recipients. TransferBigFiles.com does the work of storing the file on a server and mailing the appropriate download link.

You can pack multiple files into one delivery, but their combined size cannot exceed 1 GB. Using additional options, you can protect your files with a password or get notified when they are downloaded.

With so comfortable a service, it's a bit of a pity that TransferBigFiles.com does not integrate with email clients to make use of or at least mimic the normal attachment sending process. For Windows users, a system tray application called TBF DropZone allows for drag-and-drop sending. DropZone can resume uploads and keeps a history.

More annoying, at least to some, may prove the fact that files sent via TransferBigFiles.com are available to be downloaded for only five days (10 days if sent via DropZone). A sensible measure to be sure, but some people are notoriously slow to open their emails...
