Thanks for the info I’ll try it next to zeta transfer…
My favorite is dropsend.com/index.php
All accounts get you 2 GB file size support.
You do not need an account to use the website, but if you sign up for Free, you get 250MB storage.
You can use it with any browser but they also have an iPhone application, a Microsoft Outlook Plug-in, and a desktop program (all of them are free.)
I mainly use it because it uses NO FLASH. I tried wetransfer but I always had problems with the flash.
Also with most of the sites here, like fileapartment (which I tried) you only get 1 download but Dropsend has I think 10 for free accounts.
Another option is File Apartment :
– Proven
– Easy to use
– Supports up to 1 GB
– Free option
– No registration required or software to download
