My contract with Hightail is about to expire. I’m not unhappy with them, but since file transfer services are coming and going every year, I was wondering if something better has materialized lately.

My requirements are for large files, 10 GB is usually sufficient, AND that no software be required to be installed on either end, AND that my clients aren’t required to create and account or install software to send or receive files.

I’m especially interested in hearing good things about options other than DropBox, WeTransfer or Hightail.

Thanks,
Jim C.
