I'm in need of one of those services to deliver larger files (over 10mb print files) across the Net, and I'm not sure which to use. I've found Box.net, DropBox, iOmega, YouSendIt, Fred, Ethel, Ricky and Lucy and I'm not sure which one to go with. I'd like the least painful way for the recipient to get to them. Anyone use any of these? (ok, besides the Ricardos and the Mertzes...)

I've used Yousendit free version a couple of times. It was satsifactory.

We had some large jobs and bought the minimal service on Yousendit. Worked great, and being able to send large folders was handy. Once the need passed (100's of 35mb files), we let our service laps. The free version will be fine for smaller jobs, but I could see re-enrolling when something big comes along again. Whether the fees are worthwhile for your 10mb files depends on just how many you need to send, and over what span of time.

Wetransfer.com is free. Up to 2GB.

Funny, YouSendIt seems to be the current favorite amongst several others too. I'll investigate that, but I'll peek at the one Angela mentioned too. Thanks folks!
