2Big2Send is another file hosting site where you can store large files and send them to friends. The free service will give you 1 GB of disk space and 1 GB of download bandwidth per month. If you need a larger one, you need to purchase a premium account. The free account will give you enough space to store medium size files that are too large to share through emails.
Sharing is very easy using 2Big2Send. All you have to do is enter your recipient’s email address as if you’re sending an email with a large (or small) file attached. The recipient will then receive an email containing a link to the download page for the file that you have sent. You (the sender) can be notified through email when the file has been sent and collected. This will make it easier for you to know whether the file that you sent reached the recipient without expecting an email telling you that he/she got the file.
There is also an available desktop client for easier uploads. If you are going to be using 2Big2Send frequently, the desktop client will make your life a lot easier.
That’s nice that the service is free. I currently use RapidShare. Even though I have to pay for it, I use it enough to justify the cost.
Hi Beau, RapidShare is also a great service but there are also lots of great alternatives which offers a free service. You might also want to check them out. Dropbox is a great alternative as long as it stays free. 😉

This is a great service. Thanks Louie 🙂 Someone was asking about services for sharing large files a day ago… did you manage to tell that person about this great service? If not, I hope they read your blog!
@FragileHeart: I didn’t catch that one, sorry. I’ll try to look for it in the forums. Thank you.
There’s this other similiar service 2large2email (http://www.2large2email.com/), which is in absolutely no way related to the above mentioned service. What’s different is that 2large2email serves up a 2gb file size transfer capacity instead of just 1gb.
I suggest Otengo. This service offers transfer of large files (Unlimited size) and folders seamlessly. No need to wait for downloading and uploading. You can send files in an email-like transfer although it is much more secure than traditional email. Available at http://www.otengo.com.
