Have you ever wanted to send someone a really large file (say a digital photo of something, or a large mp3) and weren’t able to because it was too big to send or to big to be received? Or maybe you have a dozen files that you want to send, but they are all huge. You have to either resize the photos, send them all individually, or if you’re savvy enough and they files aren’t already compressed, you can try and zip them up into a zip file and send them that way. Any way you try it, it’s all kind of a hassle.
That’s where Filemail comes in. So easy to use, even in its beta state. I’ve used it once, sending a handful of photographs to a friend that were all over 1mb in size. It’s basically like web mail, except you’re simply sending files. Enter the recipients address, your address, a message, and choose the files from your hard drive. You can send files up to 2 gb in size for free, or more if you pay. The recipient receives the email that there are files for him to download. You can set the number of available downloads, and password protect the files as well. The image above is what you see when you go to download the files. Especially slick is the slideshow application available if you are sending photos.
