Requesting Suggestions: File Sharing Software

02-08-2010 9:15 AM

As a representative of a non-profit organization, I'm looking for file sharing software that will allow me to do one of the following:

1. Ideally: Upload many (20 or more) large PDF ( 2-9 MB) files to one on-line location that I can then direct others to/give others access to.  PDF files are grant submissions and must be kept confidential from the general public.

or

2. Send many (20 or more) large ( 2-9 MB) PDF files to many (15) recipients in one email.

 

Thank you for your suggestions!

I would say that Google Docs can do the trick, if you require log in for everyone that views them or set it so that the links expire when forwarded, sometimes there are issues with permissions for certain email systems, so be wary of those, and be sure to test it with your recipients before you share important documents. There is also Drop.io which has a pretty huge file size limit for the free account. I hope this helps! Please give me feedback on your experience so that we can help others. 

 

Thanks!
