Send Large Files with MediaMax
A few weeks back I needed to send a few large pdfs to a client of mine. If you’re familiar with Gmail and most major email systems, 10GB is pretty much the regular for file transfers. I wanted to send around 20GB of information and I really didn’t feel like ftp-ing anything over my server to a client – not cool.
So I was fortunate to come across MediaMax while reading last month’s Business 2.0. MediaMax is a neat service that easily allows you to send files up to 25GB to your friends.
You simply sign up and send away via their email service. Once the recipient receives the attachment in their email, they are asked to signup to the service to download the files and… that’s it!
You can use MediaMax to store photos, movies, files, whatever you want. I found it useful and I’m sure that it’ll come in handy from time to time. At the very least, it can save you the time of compressing those images or files that you send to your clients and friends.
I was recently refered to a new file sending site called YouSwap.com and I highly recommend it! better uploader and send upto 1GB. MediaMax has slow uploads and annoying ads. YouSwap is clean, simple, and to the point! no annoying ads!
