Sending large files or sensitive documents to clients, colleagues or vendors shouldn’t be a big hassle. And it generally isn’t as long as you’re not using a free e-mail service like Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo! Having said that, security is still and issue and you’d be wise to make sure that all confidential business files are encrypted before sending. Alternatively, a hosted service such as ShareFile take the hassle out of file sharing. And unlike traditional software companies, which release new versions only ever year or two, ShareFile is on a rolling development cycle, releasing continuing feature improvements each month based on customer feedback. The best thing about ShareFile, however, is that unlike FTP it can be accessed using any Web browser without the need for special software to use it. You don’t have to worry about security, managing files, or even backing up files – it’s all done automatically for you. The software’s a touch on the pricey side, but you should take a closer look if you have a need for e-mailing secure documents to colleagues and clients.
