Recently a client wanted to send me a 12mb package. Whilst I have a 30mb inbox (which I still need to clean out and increase regularly), his outbox wasn’t big enough to let it go.

As it wasn’t urgent he ended up sending me a CD.

Alternatives? You could use Gmail ( free with 2gb plus accounts, but this requires each party to have an account) or YouSendIt (which is a free temporary 3rd party storage site of files up to 1gb where you upload and the receiver downloads) (tip from Jim Calloway).
