A friend wants to send a song file that is too large for e-mail. I think I have seen info here on the planet about hosting sites. Does anyone have any suggestions as to good ones to use ?

Thanks

gtarsncars,I use "Hightail" to send large files,wave files etc via email.The basic setup is free and if you do this all the time and need to send files faster then you can pay for the pro verson.I've been using Hightail formerly(You Send it) for a few years,works great for transferring files back and forth.
Here is the linc;

There sure are a whole lot of those sites around today...
Dropbox is considered pretty highly and really easy to use.
Cubby is another one I've used and like... as is Copy.com.
But I think the popularity of one site over another changes often, as do the various advantages and disadvantages of the different offerings.

I haven't checked lately, but a year ago many of them were offering large free capacity versions - we're talking 5GB - 15GB for free! It's well worth your time to do a couple of comparison reviews and choose what works best for your current needs.

I think Dropbox still limits their free version to just around 2-3GB, but that's quite a bit for many VS file needs. IIRC, Cubby had 5GB free... I haven't relied on it much lately, although I have it and a couple others installed, including Dropbox.

I use Dropbox Basic. They give you 2 GB free storage initially and add another 500 MB every time another person joins the share.
http://www.dropbox.com

I record all my bands' gigs and rehearsals and share the files with my band mates. I'm up to 5 GB free storage at this point.

It does require you to install the dropbox desktop app, but the app greatly simplifies file management. It shows the shared files in your computer's file management program automatically, no effort required on your or your buddy's part.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I'll get the info to him and figure it out.
I have gotten so much information over the years here. I can't tell you all thanks enough.

Hightail, I used it a lot back when it was called Yousendit.com and up to 100mrgs was free. Back then your file sat at a link for others to DL for free for 7 days, maybe does the same now?

I second Dropbox. Fast uploads and downloads. Free.
