Does anyone know of any reliable (pop up free, etc.) safe online services that allow people to transfer files to email addresses via sending links to uploaded files?
I have large files that exceed the limit of all of the web-based e-mail programs for sending or receiving. I used box.net for a while (thanks to Adrian) but they have a maximum of 10MB per file unless I upgrade to paid services.
Multiply only allows 20MB file attachments to a blog so that is no good.
My fileden account was, for some mysterious reason, deleted. They are a pretty scary site anyway as any mis-click and you can end up sending your data off to spammers every time you log in. Sending the attachment via email to someone's post box also fails, because limitations are set on the receiving end.
Mayu uses a good system that allows up to 100MB of transfer per file. It sends an automated email to the recipient with a link for download after a file is uploaded to a server on that site. That file is kept for a time-limit (3 days), and if the recipient does not receive the file, it is deleted from the servers. I have just tried this system, and it allows me to choose "english" when I am sending a message. It seemed to work, but the entire site is Japanese so anyone else outside Japan who doesn't understand the language won't be able to use this. Following through on the emai that arrived, I am taken to a page full of Japanese where you have to accept or decline the user agreement (just accept if I ever send you files, OK?) Then you will go to a page that has the file you can download. This site is called www.datadelivery.net.
Has anyone been reliably using any system like this on the internet that allows for such a file-transfer via a link that is added to a standard email and sent to a recipient?
If you have anything that you use, that is reliable, trustworth and not riddled with junk, pop ups, etc. etc. please do let me know.
I love you!

Amber - Thank you. I'm looking for people who use this kind of system reliably for references.

ReplyDeleteum, my head is spinning just reading your blog and um....no, I don't.
ReplyDeleteHugs and love anyway.
Glad you changed your pic. :)
http://www.transferbigfiles.com/ will do up to 1gig for free and might be worth a try. If I come across any more I'll let you know.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.getdropbox.com/ is good if you can get an invite. Microsoft also have https://www.foldershare.com/
ReplyDeleteThank you, Adrian.
ReplyDeleteThese won't open for me. When I right click and try to save, it puts the file in "my pictures." When I go to the saved file and choose windows media player, it states that it can't open the file. Boo Hoo!
ReplyDeleteHi Abby. Wrong blog, I think. You meant to post it on the other one! But I love you anywhoo!
ReplyDeleteI'd be checking with a couple friends of mine that do computer work and build web sites - so they'd be familiar with such things. But I wouldn't be able to talk to them until tonight.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tornado. Boog gave me a couple links there that I'll look into.
