Situation: You're in Need of a Way Around Your Email System's Attachment Issues.

A while back, I reviewed SendThisFile - which allows you to effectively send large attachments to people via email.  Now, there is a tool called Driveway, that is a bit more user friendly.  

At some point, we've all tried to send something larger than our email systems allow - a picture, a presentation, whatever.  Both Driveway and SendThis File allow you to post those files to a secure remote server and include links to them in the email you send.  So you're not actually sending the files in email, but you're getting them there, which is the important part.

SendThis File is very straightforward, offering you just go their site, upload your file and grab the link.  Driveway does the same, but also offers plug-ins that allow you to do it from your desktop and collaborate on documents directly on the remote server.  Another consideration is that SendThisFile has no size limit, while Driveway limits the size to 500MB.  As the Driveway folks say, "Size Really Does Matter".

If you want user friendly, you might consider File-Works, a secure file sharing service for businesses who need to control who can do what with which file.

File-Works is used by some of the world's largest corporations and by small mom-and-pop operations with little computer experience.

For an occasional file transfer, Free File-Works is available.
