Sending large files via Email
Do you ever need to send large attachments (files or photos) via email but the message gets rejected from the receipient's email server? There are a lot of ISP's (AOL, Yahoo, etc) that put a restriction on the size of attachments that can be sent via email. As an alternative, you can use YouSendIt (www.yousendit.com) service to send your large files. This service acts like a virtual FTP site.
- You compose your email online and then attach the file (if there are more than one file, then they should be zipped (compressed)) and then click on SendIt.
- YouSendIt will then upload the file to their servers as a repository location.
- The Lite (FREE) service will allow you to send a maximum file size of 100 MB/email message.The recipient will receive an email from you with a link to the file.
- If the file attachment is more than 20 MB, then you will need to sign up and create an account. The registration is FREE.
- They click on the link and then it will prompt the user to download and save the file.
- You do not want to click on Open after Download. You want to save the file and then open it up using it's related program.
