iFile.it

iFile.it is a free service that you can use to send large files when your email provider won't let you cope with a simple email message. You can send as many files as you want in a day and each file can be large up to 1GB. Registration is not needed to use the service.
To transfer your files using iFile.it, simply select them on your computer and then click on “Upload”. Don't worry if your connection gets lost in the process, as the service supports resumable uploads. When the upload is completed, iFile.it will generate both a short and a full URL link that you can pass along to the people you want to download your file. Please note that your transferred files will be stored for up to one week if they are bigger than 100MB, and for up to one month if they are below 100MB.
