So, what can you do if you have a file that's too big for an email attachment? Tyler provided a great walkthrough of Google Drive earlier this week. Drive would have no problem hosting your larger files, but what if you or your proverbial friend don't have a Google account either? (0 for 2!)
Jumpshare's Unique Service

- No user account is necessary to get started. Instead, you are given a unique link to your files after you have finished uploading them.
- Without an account, the only way for you or others to find your files is by using the unique link...so bookmark it, email it to yourself, share it on social media, but just don't lose the thing!
- Your files will be deleted after 7 days, so make sure you download your files to a more permanent storage location sooner rather than later.
- With a free account, you can share files up to 2 GB, and they won't be deleted within the 7 day period. That's rad.
The Bottom Line
If you don't want to bother with making an account, Jumpshare is a quick, easy way to send your files floating out onto the web in a lifeboat so you can pick them up on the opposite shore (a home desktop, laptop, tablet, etc). To extend the metaphor, they will be eaten by sharks within a half-fortnight. So by all means, get to them before it's too late!The Big Plus
You and anyone you share the link with can preview Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator formats within the browser--no extra software required.View the full list of supported formats here.
This is great to know about --if only I remember to pull the files off within the 7 days!
