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.

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.
