Sure, there's a 100MB limit, but Senduit is not without its advantages. For one thing, you can set its files to self destruct, spy style: This is great if you've got a document you want to share, but would rather not keep on the Internet for an extended period of time. Also, this service's links do not expire if you close your browser. Again, there are privacy implications to this, but to me the self-destruct features help make up for this.

Just Beam It is a new service for quickly and easily sharing files with your colleagues. To use the service just visit Justbeamit.com and drag a file from your desktop to the Just Beam It transfer box. After dragging your file, Just Beam It generates an unique url for your file. Give that link to the person or people you want to be able to download your files. Just Beam It supports files up to 2GB. Watch the short video below for an overview of Just Beam It in action.

WeTransfer is simply one of the easiest file sharing sites (beta) around, just upload your file (up to 2 gig) and click transfer. Also, you can email it to whoever you want and add a message: nice, simple, and neat. Nuff said...

What if you just need a simple drag-and-drop interface and a quick link? Dropcanvas is a simple app that does exactly this.

Online-ConVert handles conversions of many media formats and file types in one central location. Need to convert a document to HTML of PDF? Online-ConVert does that. Want to convert a video to a new format or download a video from the web? Online-Convert does that too. Do you need to convert an audio file to MP3 or WAV? No problem, Online-Convert has you covered. One of the feature of Online-ConVert that I really liked is found in the video conversion tool. Not only can you change the format of the video, but Online-Convert also allows you to specify the display dimensions of the video you're converting.

YouSendIt is an online service that allows you to upload and send large files via email. Use it to send documents to colleagues.

Together with Dropbox you can setup an unique upload address with password protection. DROPitTOme is your one stop solution when an email is just not enough.

With Ge.tt, you can select files  or can drag and drop them onto the site (if you have a supported browser), and then share the shortened URL like the other apps in this list, but a cool feature is that you don't have to wait for your file to finish uploading before users download them.

Upload your file; share a public link. Featuring password protection and pretty fast transfer speeds, FilesOverMiles is a decent first choice. There is a catch, though: your file is never uploaded to a server. This means FilesOverMiles stops serving the file as soon as you close the webpage, so it may serve better for instant messaging conversations than for emails.

File hosting websites are very helpful when you want to store or share large files online. Most file hosts are the same and do not offer a unique set of features. But UploadingIt sets itself apart from the crowd by offering a large 20GB of free storage space along with numerous other cool functions.
