Good solution to sending attachments via email

Good solution to sending attachments via email I have a lot of problems with sending attachments with my email, either the file can't be scanned for viruses so fails, or exceeds the filesize limit (2/5/10MB), or there are simply too many files (+20) and my email/webmail/client hangs up leaving me unsure whether to retry, or let the mail get sent anyhow.

"You could create a Dropbox account and copy/paste link to the file in ""Public"" folder. Just remove them after a few weeks when recipient downloaded the file.

Yes, it's a ""hack"", but it might be more convenient than having to upload files to one of those ""file hosting"" websites."

What I do, which I'll admit isn't for everyone, is drop the files on a web server using WebDAV and e-mail a link. The recipient has to try real hard to mess it up! Which, unfortunately, has been the problem in pretty much every other technique I've tried. Other pluses, I can delete it, replace it, etc., whenever I want. Shared hosting is cheap or you could do it home-brew style on an old computer and a dynamic DNS updater.

You could try StreamFile or HotShare

"Not free, but you can accomplish what you want with File Savr:

FileSavr's goal is to simplify the
process of file hosting. We provide
fastest and easiest file hosting
service as an alternative to sites
like MegaUpload and RapidShare. Unlike
the other sites, we do not force users
to sign up for paid accounts to
download files, we do not show long
countdown timers, pop up ads, or any
other spam related activities. Our
goal is simple, to offer the most
basic file hosting service so you can
share your stuff quickly.

Why is FileSavr doing this? To make
the process a lot simpler, and because
we know how annoying it is to not be
able to share files.

How long are the files kept? The
files are kept forever as long as they
are being downloaded.

Is the upload size really 10 GB?
Yes."
