RFP Questionnaire for Large File Transfer System
13 February 2008To help companies that are evaluating large file transfer systems or that need to select a service that supports your needs to send large files, I have produced a document that will save you a lot of time. I believe that for someone who has not worked in the space this document will save you weeks of work and lots of money.
This document is provided at no cost for your complete review. I encourage and welcome it being reproduced, reposted and circulated. I ask that the document not be used for commercial purposes and that the document remain unchanged.
So you might be asking what’s the catch.
Well first, I am interested in having the document reposted as that will increase the number of page links coming into Send Large Files. That’s a good thing for me as the site is climbing in the ranks for the search term send large files. If there are more links to the site or the file then that will increase our page ranking - all good stuff.
Is there more? Yes.
I think that this document will save you weeks of time and lots of money.
I have been looking at these services and it took me months to collect these questions.
I have put a lot of work into this document and ask that if you want to use it for your RFP that you purchase a commercial license for a small amount compared to the time and many dollars it will save you.
The commercial license is priced at less than two hours of my time.
I believe you will find this to be a very high ROI for you when you need to select a system for sending large files. You will save lots of money, get the right system the first time and avoid the risks that I have seen.
That’s why I have set up a license that requires attribution, allows only non-commercial use and restricts modifications to the document. It is free for your complete review. Share it with others. Repost it on the web. I think that you will find it incredibly valuable.

Send Large Files - YouSendIt Lite Review
18 October 2007In this Send Large Files screen cast, I review YouSendIt Lite which is a free service from YourSendIt.com. The service seems simple to use, although it has lots of advertising in the free version. I also encountered a system busy problem when I tried to download the test file transfer during the screen cast. They system came back to life a little while later and I was able to download the file. The Lite version allows you to send up to 100MB files for free, with up to 1GB of downloads. YouSendit also offers a $9.99 per month pro account that provides more capacity and a business account for $29.99 per month that provides both more capacity and some extra security features. I will review the business account in another Send Large Files videocast.
Overall, the upside is that the service is free and relatively easy to use. The Lite service is an alternative worth considering if you have some casual file transfer requirements that don’t require security and privacy on the files as the download page may be picked up by search engines.

Send Large Files - Box.net Review
1 October 2007Box.net is a great, low cost service for sharing files. The service runs about $8 for a consumer account and $16 for a business account. I like the user interface a lot, it’s a very easy to use. The service is more of a file sharing and collaboration system than a file sending system, but it does both. Here’s the video of the system in action:

How to Send Large Files
21 September 2007How to send large files? That’s the question that inspired this site. I needed to send large files like spreadsheets, video and images that are two big for email. So how do I do it?
I want it to be easy, fast and secure. I want the recipient to have the same kind of experience. The send large files solution needs to fit the needs of the users. Some of us just need a single user solution, others will need an enterprise solution with many more features.
In the coming weeks we will dive in and find out what works and what doesn’t.
