They've been in business for a while and have lot's of great plugins. I'm sure graphic designers have found this tool to be quite useful when sending large files. I'd like to also share another great resource for sending, receiving and storing files. And, the good thing is, everything is drag and drop. There's not browse and attach. It's web based, secure and you can drag and drop files from you desktop or other PC location to the dropzone to send as a link, attachment, or direct to other dropzone users. It's like having your own private, secure network. You can send files to anyone, anywhere from anywhere. Check it out: www.my-dropzone.net. YouSendit is indeed an excellent service.

If we were talking about a 1GB torrent file, I wouldn;t have minded. You hardly need such files sent by email. My beef was the fact that I had to download a 33kb file, followed by a 5MB file and installation, to find out He sent me a 3MB file, and to have a piece of software installed on my computer that (a) i never use, and (b) may or may not have installed, other unrelated junk on my computer. Anyhow, half the-point to the article is that there are other ways and means that are easier, more free-flowing and make more sense in a small-attached-archive-to-email kind of way.

Perhaps you should try installing Pando to see what your friend sent you, before complaining about it! :-) The 33 KB file that you refer to wasn’t a compressed version of the file being sent to you, it’s a tiny meta-file (like a .torrent file) that lets the Pando software retrieve the actual file, which would have been much larger (e.g. 1 GB).
