Whats a free large file sending software out there? good for mac too. Just emailed some images to a canvas printing company and the files are way too small for my liking to be printed to A2. The upload on their website would not allow my 10mb files or smaller to be uploaded. Annoying as

It takes a bit of strategy sometime. I have all but given up on trying to email a photo. I use DropBox for sharing, mailing the link to the photo(s), instead of the photo.

I second Dropbox. The free version is enough if you don't overload your box.

I use Drop box too and find it to be very effective. I've sent videos IMovies on my Mac without any problem.

File sending limits are set by the email[box] providers.
What email are you using?

As to the uploading. You aren't still using IE are you? Chrome or Firefox are much better [and more stable] browser choices.

Could your printer possibly have an ftp site to use?

I use Drop box with great results but I have never sent anything to a printing company. I'm unsure if printing sites will accept Drop box.

I use dropbox for sharing files with others and I use mpix.com for printing. My jpegs are min 7mb up to 13. It takes a while to uploaf even with broadband.

Using Dropbox, you simply send the printer a link to the specific file. I would imagine any printer would be able to use this unless they don't have an internet connection. It would be no different than bringing it in on a jump drive.

I use Chrome as my browser and AOL is my email provider.
The largest file size allowed is 25MB.
You could use a ZIP file to compress it.

By the way, Flickr now offers 1TB of free storage.

About 3,540,000 results.

That's why I asked for a URL.
