Have you ever tried to send one of your friends an audio or video file only to have it bounced back as being undeliverable? Sure, most of us have. Most e-mail providers impose limits on the message size that they will allow. If your attachment exceeds the limit that is acceptable, you’ll get the message delivered right back to your Inbox. This is obviously frustrating, but there are ways around it. Some of the savvier computer users will upload the file to a server location that they may have access to. This in turn provides easy access to the file from the Web. However, what do you do if this isn’t an easily accessible option for you? It’s simple - just use YouSendIt.

With this service, you can send files up to 1GB in size to multiple recipients. You heard me right - 1GB. All you need to do is type in the desired recipients, select the proper file, and you then have the option to type in your e-mail address and a message before sending it. Your file will then be uploaded to the YouSendIt servers, and an e-mail link to the file will be sent to the people that you desire. This process gets around the whole size limitation ordeal. The files won’t stay there forever - your recipients have seven days to download the file before it’s deleted off of the server. You can choose to transfer the files normally or securely, and YouSendIt takes security precautions even further by scanning all files for viruses. The service works great, and provides a simple way to transport largish files to anyone with an e-mail address. Just so you know, I never wanted that Pee-wee’s Playhouse video clip.
