So there. :) Liquidfiles.net. You can get a non-Windows VM that's basically a fancy standalone FTP server where you get a web front-end to log in to and send a hyperlink to large files that you host on premise or in the cloud. Some cool features: * Download URL expires after a time you specify * URL can be available to just the recipient(s) or everyone * Recipient confirms their e-mail address one time, then they get the download URL * Users sending you files o Other people can send *you* files without any FTP client or requiring any further setup from the sender (for example, https://bigftp.ci.cornelius.or.us/filedrop/recieve sends me an e-mail with a hyperlink to the file you've sent, but not all extensions are allowed :)) o File receive locations can be per user and/or a catchall * Outlook plug-in. Instead of the web page you have a new toolbar in Outlook to send files. o This plug in can be installed on anyone's system, it asks for your liquidfiles credentials the first time you launch it per machine. For me adding the add-in to %dayjob%, %home%, and %MyPC-At-A-Client% all points to the same server/login ID for sending files, for example. * You can specify accepted and/or blocked extensions One feature I haven't leveraged yet is LDAP (or SAML SSO) authentication. The best part is I didn't find it that complex at all, and it's pretty cheap if you need it for just a few select users, no license cost if you are sending to other users in your e-mail domain.
