1 You Send It
YouSendIt is just as basic as it can ever get. Unlike the process that may arise when using storage service per se, this one enables you to provide yours and the receiver’s email address and the rest of the dirty work is done by YouSendIt.
In the image below the user only has to feel in two email addresses: the sender's and the receiver's. This is followed by selecting the file to be sent from computer hard drive. And that is it!
Like is evident in the image above, a user can choose between the free and pay per use options. The free options allows for 100MB of data transfer whereas the paid for option allows up to 2GB of data transfer.
2 Transfer Big Files
With TransferBigFiles, you can send files as big as 1GB and the files uploaded for download is available for up to five days. The files can be password protected, if security is of concern.
3 Google Drive
Google has integrated a mail file sharing service under Google Drive which is available for Gmail users. In order to achieve this, the user simply right clicks a folder or file to be shared under My Drive (Cloud storage service from Google).
In the menu that pops up, the user has only to select Share and then choose between the basic and Collaborator share options.
From the next menu, a user can select who to share the file/folder with by providing recipient email address. The recipient can be one individual or a group of collaborators.
4 Mail Big File
MailBigFile gives you the option of transferring up to 300MB of data for free and will upgrade your transfer needs to 2GB for a paid version. And like the first two services above, the interface is equally easy to understand and manipulate. No need to scratch your head.
Other Cloud Services
The above services are just a drop in the ocean in the business of file transfer. If anyone wants to send even larger files, there are other options available both for free and for fees.
Most paid for services promise secure transfer processes, not that the free services do not offer security, but the user is assured of value for money and clicks the SEND button with a degree of confidence.
