Another major issue with eMail is large attachments. Large attachments can be difficult to send and receive even with a good service provider and plenty of bandwidth. There are a number of services available specifically to address this issue. Large attachments can be saved online and the link mailed to recipients for them to download under more controllable conditions. One such example is www.mailbigfile.com/ a free web service.

Some free services such as http://www.zupload.com/ accept files up to 500MB, which remain available for 30 days for unlimited downloads.

This service is also useful if you are trying to send an attachment with a restricted extension which would otherwise be blocked by the recipients service providers.
