You’ve probably seen it before. You send an email with a large attachment and an automated reply is returned by your corporate e-mail server saying that the message you sent exceeded the maximum size allowed for you. Or perhaps your message was sent but subsequently rejected by the receiving server because of a smaller message size threshold.
So how does it work? A sender logs into the web interface at YouSendIt.com and enters the recipient address or addresses. The sender navigates to the source file and uploads it to the YouSendIt.com servers. A custom URL is e-mailed to the recipient via YouSendIt.com. The recipient(s) then uses that URL to download the file from the YouSendIt.com servers.
There is a free level at which users can send files up to 100MB at a time. There are three subscription levels that add different functionality called Pro, Business Plus, and Corporate Suite.
