Large Files
Ever wanted to send a large file to a client, or be able to receive one in return? Normal email doesn't support files larger than 10MB, so you're forced to send a physical copy of the file, or spend time trying to find a way to upload it to the internet and hope your client can figure out how to download it. We feel your pain! We struggled with how to handle this properly ourselves, so we built our own solution. Large Files gives you a simple medium to share files with clients. They can upload files to you via widgets on your page, and you can send files to them via direct-download links through email. It's as simple as it sounds and will save you the headache of trying to send the file other ways.
