Nice and congrats… this market is still vibrant and thanks for proving it..
Sendmax, your site doesn’t load! Gives me a 404!
This is required for a service like yousendit because of its storage requirements. The thing to consider is what happens when large email providers like gmail and yahoo start offer such services??
@2 — it should load now… :p
…drop.io
It’s maximum size of 100 Mb it’s not good for large files.

With that kind of money, maybe they can add an end-to-end file encryption option. And we’d love to help

Has anyone used FILESWIRE WEB BASED P2P Its a web based p2p client. It uses Gnutella (the same network as LimeWire) and their own network. Web based p2p has finally arrived.
Congrats to YSI team!
I heard that YouSendIt now has sorting. Yes, you heard me right - sorting.
There’s this thing at http://www.eatlime.com that uploads a hundred times more than YouSendIt or any services alike. Love it!
If you take the time to read the terms and conditions in YSI they have a bit that says:
“YouSendIt does not claim any ownership rights in any User Files that you make available through the Service. However, by making User Files available through the Service, you hereby grant to YouSendIt a nonexclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license to use, copy, distribute and process User Files on the Sites and through the Service.”
That is seriously UNCOOL! There’s a better alternative: 2Large2Email and it’s much cleaner too.
And then they lay ouff 14 out of their already massive army of 70 staff. Goes to show how all that money is being spent and what’s it doing for us consumers. Like James said, 2large2email (http://www.2large2email.com/) is a better alternative.
