Thanks, good info.
idisk was pretty easy for the person you're sending the files to to use. yousendit is probably just about as easy except for the requirement of the other side having to set up an account to upload files.

I see, thanks. What they want in the future is to make one sign up for Dropbox to use it. As it is now one doesn't need to be logged in or have an account to access a Public folder.

Well, I've decided to go with a combo of DB (after all) and the FTP option in my Network Solutions hosting package. The free version of DB meets my needs, and the more clients and vendors I invite, the more storage I earn. No one client can see or access the others' folders, so I don't even need the public folder. I'm hosting images for CL ads and all of my images for this site on NetSol. My iDisk is empty now — broom-clean, as they say, so Apple can have the keys any time.

Nothing is free anymore.
It makes sense, since you can link to any file in your DB.

Awesome. Perfect timing too. Thank you so much!
I miss the old days when you had to know what you're doing before sending a file. I just got a 96MB CMYK Photoshop file with 21 layers that I reduced to a 820K bitmap file. Freakin' amateurs.
