Files2U: Free Large File Transfer

Files2U is a free online application for transferring large files. The best part about Files2U is that its 100% free and allows you the option for sending up to 25 files not exceeding size of 3GB. Truly! that means a lot of space and generally none expects so much form any free file transferring  service. I was a bit skeptic in the beginning, but it worked with least hassles.

Why and when to use Files2U for free large file transfer ? Most email service providers imply restriction regarding the maximum size of file that can be sent as an email attachment. In addition they will also restrict you from sharing executable files for security reasons. In more clear words, “I you have a file or files above 500 MB in size then Files2U is the stuff to try”.

How to Perform Free Large File Transfer:

On your visit to homepage you’ll be presented following interface. Everything is instant with no requirement for registration.

* You might be prompted to run a JAVA applet. It must be noted that file transfer can only be accomplished on execution of this applet. If not, then all you will get is an error message.

• The webpage includes a form for entering details like your name, email address, comma separated list of recipients, and a few other settings.
• Next, click on ‘Upload files’ button and you will be taken to a new page where the applet will load and the interface for selecting files will be presented in front of you.
• After selecting files click on ‘Start Upload’ button and in no time the uploading will be initiated.
• Now, wait for uploading to complete. If you close the window in-between then transfer will be canceled.
• On the bottom section is the progress bar to keep a look on file transfer being accomplished.
