honestly, all of those types of free service annoy me and I've stopped using them. spam, account setups, capped upload / downloads all take way longer than I can afford. "free" is not free if it's wasting time. As the majority of my work is offsite this is what I use: Vimeo, Dropbox and an FTP

- Vimeo (pro) with a download link for previews. With a pro account you can set videos as private with passwords; quality is quite good. Plus the less computer-savvy clients can hit a play button easier than messing with links and asking me where the downloaded file went on their computer. Sad, but true.

- Dropbox for instant syncing / project files / medium sized formats - works great both ways, especially with assets collected by producers as they dl from getty stock for example.

- personal FTP - I have this from my website hosting, fastest UL / DL, fastest and easiest communication with other editors for large final render files. great for zipped DNxHD files. I can control user access / quota too

I add a third vote for WeTransfer.

WeTransfer has a somewhat hidden option to create a link for download (instead of routing you to their web site to click a "download" button). So, if your recipient is behind a firewall the direct link works better.

i second we transfer - works great.
