Sending files is easy. Right? Or isn't it? Either way, a filehost is much better!
But how to send large files over the internet? And where to upload files? Large files that are too big for email attachment ... yes, 2GB is too much for transferring via email ;)
You can send files to FTP. But that's not very easy. Plus if it's a "sensitive", you have to take care of proper encryption of the server. And if you want to share big file or keep the uploaded files online for a longer period of time, it can eat a lot of bandwidth.
Or you can use a website like Dropbox, that you might use to sync data between your computers. But the free account does not offer much space for your files and folders, so it'll be hard to squeeze there your uploads.
There is a much easier way ... Online storage where you can share large files!
Uploading is very easy and usually encrypted.
