Unfortunately, these files are so big that they can clog even the fastest e-mail system.<\/p>\n<p>There is good news: There are plenty of programs \u2013 many of which are free \u2013 that you can use to send large files with ease.<\/p>\n<p>Here are four of the most popular:<\/p>\n<p><b>YouSendIt<\/b><\/p>\n<p>YouSendIt\u2019s cloud-based online storage allows users to share everything from gigantic pictures to videos for free. The service is known for how easy it is to use.<\/p>\n<p>YouSendIt also gives users control over their large files. For instance, they can set expiration dates for these files and control who can and can\u2019t access them.<\/p>\n<p><b>DropSend<\/b><\/p>\n<p>DropSend operates in much the same way as YouSendIt.  DropSend, though, offers file-sharing programs in a variety of option.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, you can choose DropSend Lite, which is free. This version allows you to send five files a month. The basic version of the program costs $5 a month, and allows you to send 15 files a month. The business version &#8212; $99 a month \u2013 allows users to send an unlimited number of files each month.<\/p>\n<p><b>SugarSync<\/b><\/p>\n<p>SugarSync has grown in popularity along with the rise in smart phones and tablet computers. That\u2019s because users can create a SugarSync account that instantly saves their files on all their devices at once \u2013 everything from their smart phones to their desktop computers to their tablets.<\/p>\n<p>SugarSync also allows users to provide access to these large files to specific users. It\u2019s an easy way to allow family members or co-workers to view movies, pictures and other big files without the use of e-mail.<\/p>\n<p><b>Dropbox<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Dropbox, too, has become a must-have program for mobile computing. Like SugarSync, it allows you to instantly store files on all of your devices at once. It also comes in both free and paid varieties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve all faced the same problem: we need to send large photos, complex PDF reports or videos to friends, family members or co-workers.
