The benefits of online file sharing

The benefits of online file storage and sharing

With the ever increasing size of files like photos, videos and even some documents, it’s become more common that you can’t attach them to email as they exceed file size limits. File sharing offers a quick, simple and safe alternative.

Access files in an instant

Transporting and accessing your files doesn’t have to be a three-ringed circus every time you’re away from your desk. Sure, USBs, CDs and external hard drives serve their purpose, but online file sharing websites offer a variety of advantages over these traditional data storage methods

For example, these sites offer great security, they can be accessed via popular web browsers like Internet Explorer, and they allow you to collaborate with other users, regardless of where you are in the world.


Online file sharing

The best way to ensure your documents and files are safe and secure, ready to be accessed whenever they’re needed, is to save them on sites like these:

  • YouSendIt
    YouSendIt allows you to send attachments up to a whopping 2GB in size – no more bouncing emails when the recipient’s email server freaks out at the file size! Plus, a variety of plug-ins enable you to use YouSendIt with popular programs like Outlook and Office.
  • Dropbox
    Dropbox makes online file sharing dead simple. It enables users to drop any files into a folder that can be shared amongst other dropbox users or accessed from the web Drop box allows you to transfer the first 2GB of file space – FREE. So why not give it a go?
