Yahoo! Mail Teams Up With YouSendIt: Let Large File Sending Commence!
Because of the size limit that most ISPs and email programs put on the files that you send, a service like YouSendIt is invaluable. Though they do have a subscription model, over 15 million users can currently send files up to 100MB in size, absolutely free. Wouldn’t it be great if something like this was actually built-in to your email service? Well, the folks at Yahoo seem to think so, as they just partnered with YouSendIt, allowing Yahoo! Mail users to send files up to 100MB using YouSendIt’s service. Though YouSendIt is great on its own, having the ability to use it within your email program not only simplifies the file sending process, it also saves time. Along with their expertise in large-file sharing, YouSendIt also has an excellent reputation when it comes to online security, so Yahoo! Mail users can feel safe knowing that their important files will arrive safely and virus free. For more info on this new partnership, click after the jump…
