Re: [Avid-L2] OT: Online file storage - Dropbox.com

2GB free. $10 a month for 50GB. It's fantastic, especially for clients who can barely handle an email much less ftp instructions. Once it's set up, you put something in your folder and everyone who is sharing that folder with you will automatically receive it on their end and get a notification once it's there. They do nothing but open the file once it's downloaded. It's really that easy.

Free for 2GB and more available as 'premium' options.

I know people using premium service to send approvals files and the
like - the desktop clients can actually sync files, so it just turns
up on recipient's computer when sync'd
