Great article and some handy tools. Personally, I use FilesDIRECT (http://www.filesdirect.com) to send large files and store them online: you can send 2GB files even with the free plan, storage starts at 30 GB, there’s no software to install AND it includes 128-bit SSL encryption on all transfers. Pretty sweet!
