Moving Big Files Across The Web

Those of us who work in the web industry know that it can be frustrating to move really big files around the web. Most email hosts place really low limits on the size of an email file that you can send.

While YouTube has certainly made it easier to share videos, it also has limitations (not the least of which is that it only handles movies).

Today, I was looking around the web to find the best ways to send large files to other people without requiring that both ends download and install a certain software. Web based systems (or as the technically savvy call it – The Cloud) tend to be the simplest, most effective ways to handle file sharing. While searching I came across this list of 13 different services to move big files around the web.

My favorite of the listed services is called TransferBigFiles. It uses Amazon’s amazing S3 cloud storage which I’ve been very happy with.

While I was looking primarily for something to easily share media files, I also found another need met. I’m a big fan of security and I think that LeapFile is one of the coolest technologies I’ve seen in a while. It allows you to encrypt data via SSL
