I have two very large files I need to get to someone (350MB each). My server doesn't have room. I tried yousendit last night and it gave me no love. Any other suggestions other than mailing him a CD?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe megaupload.com?

Create a gmail account just for this and send him the password like we do with Buffistarawk? I have a 100 invites if you want one.

megaupload.com says the max file size is 250mb, and Gmail won't work because mail servers generally won't take attachments larger than 8 or 10 mb.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

what she is saying about gmail is to save the email message in drafts with the huge attachment and then give the person the password to retrieve the draft.

I wasn't saying that, but good idea.

(hush--of course you were)

Does sending gmail to gmail also work?

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

I think the 10 MB limit on attachments will still foil you if you're trying to attach it to a draft.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I can't remember the name of it, but isn't here a program named "Gmail drive" or the like where you can create a drive on your account?

ah yes: [link]

Yes, but

The Inbox of a Gmail account is used to store the files. Consequently, GMail Drive cannot accept files sized greater than 10 MB

I had thought that people used yousendit.com to exchange 350MB files. Where's the root of the lack of love?
