File sharing?

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Paul wondered: <<What file sharing services, like leapfile dot com, 
would folks recommend? I need to be able to trade large files with, for 
example, our translator, and our developers are also in need of such a 
service.>>

Here are some options I found when I was researching my editing book 
(coming this summer to a Geoff's site near you <g>):

·      Yahoo offers 30 megabytes of free storage via their Briefcase 
service (http://briefcase.yahoo.com).
·      You can purchase paid software such as Apple's Mac.com service 
for Mac and Windows users (www.mac.com), which provides both Web-based 
e-mail and space for file transfers.
·      The Dropload service (www.dropload.com) allows you to send files 
up to 100 megabytes to anyone with an e-mail address, and automatically 
deletes the files after 7 days. Donations requested.
·      RapidShare (http://rapidshare.de) also offers up to 100 
megabytes per file, deletes files after 30 days if you don't delete 
them yourself, and makes the files available only to people who know 
the correct Web address for the file, but caps downloads at 30 
megabytes per hour for free use. Premium (paid) subscriptions are also 
available with more features.
·      YouSendIt (www.yousendit.com) offers free uploads of up to 1000 
megabytes via a secure channel, with access only available to those who 
you send the Web address for the file. There are also paid "business 
solutions" that were not defined as I was writing this.
·      SendThisFile (http://sendthisfile.com) offers a free service 
with no stated maximum file size, but with minimal security and only 3 
days to download the file, or a paid service with full security and 
various business account options.
·      MegaUpload (http://megaupload.com) provides up to 250 megabytes 
of free upload space per file (up to 2000 megabytes plus password 
protection with a paid premium subscription).

There are undoubtedly others.
