We host our own. Timeout issues start to creep in at ~2GB, so we use that as a 
"soft" limit.

We use Accellion as well.  I agree, works great, few issues.  It is not cloud 
based though.  They have a cloud offering, but the file limit there is 2GB.

It is available as a VM appliance, so it may be easy to bring in house.

I have no idea on the cost. Don't get many issues, except for the occasional 
account reset.

Subject: File transfer hosting with >2GB files, pure web, guest upload?
Hi folks,

  I'm looking for a file transfer hosting service which can do the following:

A1. Needs no client beyond a web browser A2. Accept files at least 5 gigabytes 
in size A3. Accept files from guests A4. Send files to guests A5. Doesn't allow 
guests to see files of other guests

  The intended use is for marketing people to mail huge video files around.

  "Guest" means people without an account on the service/system.  We'd like to 
be able to email someone a link, saying, "Go to this URL and upload the files 
there", without requiring them to enroll in a service or pay a fee just for 
them.  Kind of like YouSendIt, but in reverse.
(Presumably the links would need to expire after some time to avoid becoming a 
denial-of-service exposure.)

  I'm finding many services have a 2 gigabyte limit.  Some of these videos are 
now hitting that limit.  This applies to YouSendIt and Box.net at least.  (The 
5 GB number is arbitrary but gives me something to shoot for.)

  DropBox, MS SkyDrive, Google Drive, are okay on the file size limit, but you 
need an account to do anything, as far as I can tell.

  FTP is considered "too complicated" for the intended audience.  If it can't 
be done in a web browser it's out.

  We need to avoid anything that requires client-side software.  If that's 
offered as an option, that's fine, but it has to have a web-only way as well.

  We expect to pay for this.

  Any suggestions?

-- Ben
