Sending Large Files

Email has been used to send files back and forth for a long time. Even though email was not originally meant as a medium for doing this, the need created the demand to do so. Most people send files this way and for the most part it works great.
But what about these monster sized files that our email client spits back at us? In these cases email alone just doesn't cut it. Below are services and software that meet this need in their own unique ways. As with most of the stuff we recommend they all have a free version that many times is sufficient for most users.

http://www.sendspace.com/ (link is external)
Use for free and no registration required (up to 300MB). Great for occasional use.

http://www.yousendit.com/ (link is external)
One of the most well know services. Send up to 100MB for free right from their home page with no registration required..

http://www.dropsend.com (link is external)
Send up to 1GB size files. Must register to use service. Free and paid plans. Windows and Mac software to make uploading files easier.

* Maxwire Wireless Internet does not provide these services and cannot provide technical support in their use. *
