Sending Movie Via Email
There is no other easier way to send files to your overseas pal than using email. Just attach the last birthday photos, give short comments here and there, type the address, and click send. And your friend will receive them instantly. But even email have it’s downside too. It’s verry difficult (next to almost impossible) to send extremely large files, both for the sender and the receiver. Above 10 megabytes is alredy unpractical. No cinematic length movie is able to travel through email. But our virtual life consist not only itsy-bitsy files, and there are times when we have to transfer those bulky digital package across the worldwide network. So, how would any ordinary person be able to do that? Via FTP (if you know what that is) or burn it to CD and use the snail mail. That’s soo un-techie!
Drop it and load it
There’s a service called DropLoad. where you can share an extra-large file with a friend. Drop off your up to 100-megabyte file at Dropload (it’s free) and enter the recipient’s email address. An email will be sent to the recipient with instruction on how to pick up it is marked “expired” and cannot be pickep up again. Dropload’s the perfect place to share a movie or music file with a cohort, especially if your email service limits the size of attachments. It would also help transfer a file from your computer at home to the one at the office – just send it to yourself.
They want it, you send it!
When 100-megs is not enough, there’s a better one called YouSendIt it is a large file email service that helps you get around email file attachment limits. YouSendIt stores up to a whopping 1 gigabyte and emails the receipt a link to download the file for up to seven days (and an unspecified number of times). YouSendIt’s large capacity makes it a more practical way to move your data from a CD-burnerless old computer to a new one (zip ‘em all up into one file first). Or send a TV show to a friend (a typical hour-long episode is around 600 megabytes). Sending files of those sizes will be a time commitment, so plan ahead.
Say no to abusive usage
Sadly, lots of people abuse these excellent and free service by using the to trade illegal files.
There’s only one word to those kind of behavior, “DON’T!”
When the service providers can’t take the abusive usage anymore, they will stop it. And who will be at the losing side? The user of course.
We have here in our hand nice free services given by more than nice people. By all means use them, but use them wisely.
