I need recommendations (preferably from personal experience) for a way that I can send & receive large (300MB to 1.7GB) files to & from my friends (not just upload something for the whole world to have access to). I'm trying to avoid "p2p" or peer-to-peer / person to person type of situations (like Limewire) because I've heard horror stories about viruses, spyware, & worse things wrecking computers when using things like that. Then again, I will listen if someone here has had very good experiences (personally) with that type of thing, so feel free to let me know.
While I wait for replies I'll list what I've found in my Google search. Please give your opinions of them:
I found an interesting website called " Diino " that has quite a few very nice features. There is a completely free membership that gives you 2GB of online storage space for absalutely any type of file. 2GB seems small, but I could make it work for my simple needs (5GB, 10 GB & up require payment). There are a bunch of other included features like secure email, stream your backup / uploaded MP3 music to any PC, own your own BLOG & access it from any PC or your phone,& scheduled automatic backup (to name just a few), but what I'm most interested in is their Authorized File Sharing.
" esnips.com " offers 5GB of free space. I haven't had a chance to look into it much. Has anyone here heard of it or use it? What do you think of it?
" Badongo.com " offers 1GB of free space and a type of "authorized file sharing". What makes Badongo interesting is their Badongo Buddy(free upload / download tool) that promises to simplify merging files when necessary (as well as other benefits I don't yet understand). Let me know what you think of this one.
" UploadHut.com " offers 1GB of free space. I think it gives you the web link to your uploaded file (after your upload is complete). You then have to give that web link or address to whomoever you want to access it.
http://www.upload.th.la/ OK, this one showed up on a Google search with barely any description. I just included it here since it was one of the very few that gives 1GB of space.
