I believe YouSendIt does provide some level of security, but most of their users are "consumer/individuals" that don't care much about security. Leapfile, mentioned above, claims to be one of the most secure out there (compliance with SOX, HIPAA, SAS70...yada yada). As this "industry" or market matures, and even with the journey from Web 2.0 to 3.0, I believe there will be a greater segmentation between consumer and business-focused SaaS services out there, in which case YouSendIt will be stuck in the middle and companies like LeapFILE will be cleaning up the business market because of the particular needs that business needs...i.e., security, customer support, etc. @trenety

Pay attention to his comments are they completely spot on. Considering how long this took to get out of beta, I'd say that the other plugins are going to be quite far off from being delivered to users. And why would they even consider a Thunderbird plugin when the user base for that email app is so small? Mac Mail and Entourage are clearly the next email apps they should be aiming their targets at as YouSendIt is supposed to be targeting creative pros. All aboard the fail bus, destination: Campbell.

Companies I know are transmitting very sensitive information using this service. Sensitive information as names, numbers, account information, telephone, email, etc. It is horrifying. Companies put morons who don't know what FTP is in positions where they are responsible for transmitting large amounts of data (i.e. excel files with personal information). What happens when they can't email the files because they are too large? ....they use YouSendIt.... damn dangerous.

I have used dropsend.com which is nice and has been around for a while. Dropbox (getdrpbox.com) and Zecter (zecter.com) are two news services that are still in private Beta, but both are much better and much cheaper, with a lot for free. They use Amazons datacenters which lets them outsource stability, reliability, security and availability and hence have better economics. These new services don't have plug-ins, instead they give you a folder where any document you add will automatically be sharable. With Zecter you get a lot more control of the document, with the ability to update documents even after you have sent it. This is really cool and has saved my ass from sending another email out when I had sent out the wrong version the first time around and discovered this 5 mins after hit the send key. It also allows the receiver to view the document prior to downloading. I used to be a yousendit user but cant justify the prices any more with so many free choices. The new improved mobileme from Apple should add to the commoditization of this service. I think Yousendit needs a little more than a plugin to justify their prices.

However, I'm also a .mac user and I read that the new .me service Apple have launched means I can send links to large files on my iDisk - giving me a free 10Gb limit on file send size (free meaning no extra cost, as I already pay for .Mac). Could be curtains for yousendit for users like me - unless .me proves to be slow. I've always had good transfer speeds (even on uploads) from them, and never had a file fail to send.
