There are a number of options available to photographers who need to send large high-resolution image files to editors and clients. The traditional method is burning the image files to a CD or DVD and mailing them. If speed is of essence, FTP is commonplace but it requires downloading specialized software and can be quite complicated to use. Most e-mail providers have a maximum 5-10 megabytes limit on file attachments on a message, so what can we do if our image files are larger?
Several web-based companies transfer huge files over the Internet, and have proven to be a viable alternative to FTP. These are:
Pando offers software to transfer files. It’s free up to 1 gigabytes of data.
YouSendIt also transfers large files. It allows files of up to 100 megabytes free with its YouSendIt Lite service.
There are online file-storage services like Xdrive which provides 5 gigabytes of storage free of charge, IBackup and FilesAnywhere that allow photographers to upload large files and mark them for sharing by clients and editors.
