of file, and the duration you need
the file to be kept for. The wide

service is always available and
usually free.

with a large file attached for free
and even without registration to any
email address you require. This is a
good way to ensure safe and fast
file transfer. You Send It will also
host the file on their website for 7
days. This is naturally a good
method to not only store files but
transfer them as well.
