Have you guys ever wanted to send a huge file to your friends and found out that big email attachments are usually not allowed? The reason is that email servers are not meant for sending large files because of the huge overheads. Even modern email server software can’t solve this problem. Plus, it takes up a lot of resources and jams up the queue when the server is processing the large file. So, most ISPs and email service providers just block large attachments. Just imagine the load these large ISPs have to handle if everyone start sending huge files through email. And now email servers come with extra work like scanning for viruses and filtering out spam. All these take up precious resources in the server.
The solution to this is to use a File Sharing Website. These are like using FTP, only that it is much easier and they usually don’t need any additional software. Just point your browser to their site, follow the instructions to upload the files and then send the link to your friends. It’s that simple. However, it’s my opinion that the reason why most people would prefer to send attachments through email is because it is so easy and effortless. You create an email, then add th attachment to the email and click on Send. You don’t need to do anything else. Perhaps that’s the biggest flaw of email. It’s just too damn convenient and easy and any Tom, Dick and Harry can use it without much problems. That’s why we get some many spam and chain mails everyday.
Anyways, I am here to introduce to you this great service. It’s called File Dropper. It’s a simple to use website which allows you to upload files and share these files with your friends and colleagues. It’s beyond simple. A few clicks and you can start sharing your file. Plus, it allows up to 5GB file size limit. The files are stored in their servers as long as it is being downloaded. So why not? Keep text to emails and help improve your ISP’s performance.
