Web 2.0 Tool – You Send It

Recently I discovered a magic tool called YouSendIt. YouSendIt allows you to easily deliver files larger than what your email service allows.

The express version that i have been using works really well as it prevents the need for uploading large files to FTP space and then trying to explain to the person on the other end how to download the file. For a full review click here.

The interface is simple and easy to use and once you download the software, if you right click on a document in Explorer or Finder the ‘Send by YouSendit’ option appears as a shortcut. I love this feature as it cuts the steps for sending files down to a single click of the mouse.

This a great small business tool for any business that needs to send documents larger than 2MB.
