OT: Sending Large Files via a link in an Email

At my previous company, I set up File Genius (www.filegenius.com ). They
love it. It has lots of security and is easy for the end user to use.

For some of our government work we need to send hi-res, x-ray and thermal
imagery of our finished goods prior to shipment. The photos can sometimes
be 5MB in size each and we sometimes take 10~ photos in all.



Zip and Email just doesn't work anymore. FTP is too much of a PITA for our
QC staff to comprehend.



There are a myriad of services out there, free and paid, that allow you to
upload your large file to their site for hosting while waiting for the
customer to download and you email your customer a link to their site.
DropSend, SendThisFile, ZipSend, etc are just a few.



Has anyone used this type of service before? Any tips or warnings?





TIA

We use FTP and it works very well. Each customer has their own username and
password which directs them to a specific folder.
Internally, we map shares to all the FTP directories so it just appears as
another drive for our QC folks. They find it very convenient.

In jest can't the NSA just retrieve the documents for them :)



At least they would be taking something that belongs to them.



If I turn up missing tomorrow you all know what happened.

We use ShareFile. Added a page on our website where a person can upload files with or without an account and it notifies us by email.

It has an outlook plugin along with mobile apps etc. The plugin can be set to automatically upload/link the file if it hits a certain size.

Its encrypted and hosted in the USA.

You can be as restrictive/open as you want... Setup folders for each customer. You pay by storage/user account (customer accounts don't count as user accounts, you get unlimited customers).

We use it for prints/images/etc that we don't want to send in open email or for files that are big.
