Computer and Web Articles

Have you ever done any of the following? - Wished upon a star that there would someday be an easy way to e-mail really big files to your friends and family?

• Wondered if there was a better way providing clients with artwork and video files (because burning and snail-mailing a CD-ROM is SO last year)?
• Thought to yourself, “I need a simpler way of backing up the important files/photos/projects on my computer”?
• Thought to yourself, “I really need to start backing up the files on my computer”?
• Wished you could e-mail sensitive information (credit card numbers, business documents, secret crush confessions, etc.) to your friends without having to worry about the information being read or accessed by snooping hackers or hooligans?

If you answered “no” to all of the questions above or if the questions failed to pique your interest in the least, you’ll probably want to skip to the very end of this article for this week’s giveaway treats.

If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, read on dear reader, read on.

Are you ready? Ready for the big news for today? Okay. Here we go. The big news is … DropSend!

DropSend is a nifty, clever, super-useful program that allows you to:

• E-mail big files to anyone you want. And by big we’re talking 1 Gig. (That’s 1024 MBs!)
• Back up files on your computer to your personal “internet hard drive.”
• Access your important files from any computer. Move files and folders from your office computer to your home computer and back again.
• Send secure e-mails.

Not only is it absolutely fantastic that there’s actually a program out there that will do these things, but the entire shebang is about to get way sweeter. Check out these details:

• DropSend is easy to use. The website is clean and professional, yet fun and friendly at the same time. In my opinion, the cute little envelope graphics and animations alone are worth a stop by the site. But then again, I like those kinds of things.
• A Beginner plan is totally free; it lets you send up to five e-mails a month (up to 1 GB each) and store up to 250 MB online (as a backup or for retrieving from another location, etc.) The most expensive plan lets you store up to 25 GB, and it’s just $19 per month. Prices don’t get much better than this.
• No contracts. Just pay month-to-month.
• The nice little tour on the DropSend website shows you everything you need to know in just seven simple frames.
• This is how much hardware and software you’re required to install: none.
• It takes about two minutes to get up and running.
