A couple of things about the free S4ve.As Service:

Excellent tip. Never heard of these guys before. The domain name .as threw me for a loop at first.
To answer your question, i’ve always used yousendit.com it’s also free however limited to just a few hundred megs. usually that’s good enough for what I’m doing.

@billdow,
Ah yeah, YouSendit.com is a great service. We use it at our Corp. however we have the Pay version. With it’s integration with Outlook and other Enterprise features, it’s probably one of the best ways out there for delivering large files to your customers or having a customer send you a file. Really helps get around the 10Meg (ish) email limit out there.
Have you ever tried out the Enterprise Product for YouSendIt?

@MrGroove,
BTW – I’ve used the CORP edition of YouSendit.com. It’s great but a little expensive. I think we paid $10 per user per month where I used to work and the ppl who used it only used it maybe 1-2x a week. Not worth it probably. s4ve.as would be a much better FREE option probably.

I keep it simple and just use my microsoft skydrive when I need to share something. for everything else (regular sharing) I use folershare and gmail. :)
Thanks for the lead w/s4ve.as I think this will make it easier for ppl to send stuff to me.

I would LOVE to take a look at this but it’s been down ever since you posted this article. Just tried it again today and here’s what is says: “We’re making some changes to our system, but we’ll be back up soon. Thanks for your patience!”.
Lame!

It seems they are back up. Charging 99 cents an upload now.
According to their FAQs: “Simply put, our popularity grew much faster than expected and so did the costs of running a free service. We remain committed to providing a simple and convenient service, and with your support, we look forward to making file sharing even easier.”

Sorry…. I pay ~$7 per month per use with yousendit.com and I get unlimited uploads, downloads plus a ton of other services like email integration etc.. For $1 an upload I'm fairly certain the service will die. It's to high a price point. Perhaps 5 cents per upload…? Something that wouldn't be so noticeable.
That's to bad, it was a great concept.
