Dropbox (2GB)
2012.04.02
Dropbox is the granddaddy of cloud file storage apps, available for Windows, Linux, and Mac desktop computers, as well as iPhone and Android phones. The idea behind Dropbox is a simple one: After you install the application, a Dropbox folder appears on your desktop, and you can drag and drop and organize your files in that one folder, which is stored in the cloud. This means you can work with that folder on multiple computers or on your mobile device and your synchronized files are always just a click or tap away. Dropbox gives you 2GB of storage space when you sign up for a free account.

SendSpace (Free File Sharing)
2011.12.14
SendSpace is a file-sharing utility that’s been around since 2005. It includes a desktop tool — for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems — and mobile apps for iPhone and Android phones. SendSpace’s claim to fame is that you can share gargantuan files with others securely, and it functions more like a conduit for your files (you’re sending them, after all) than a cloud storage space for information you want to share with others. This ability to send mega-size files has worked well for me. I’ve used it to send gigabytes of book files to colleagues in other countries, and the service has been easy to use and reasonably prompt for those times when I need to deliver a file right away. SendSpace is free and allows you to share files without registering.

You can also check out files that your Springpad-using friends unlock, making it an easy way to share videos and create collaborative lists.
