Free software bypasses attachment limits
New York: Theres a new way to send large movie and
music files without worrying about whether the e-mail
systems can handle large attachments.
Free software from Pando Networks automatically
converts your attachments into a small file that your
friend can simply open to download from Pando or
elsewhere.
The company is currently offering free plug-ins to
work with most Web-based mail services at its Web
site,
www.pando.com.
Major e-mail providers generally limit the size of
files you can send or receive to 10Mb. Thats fine for
text and even small photos - but try sending an
entire photo album, music or video, and you run
against the caps quickly.
And even if your provider lets you send the large
files, the recipients service provider might not
accept them.
With Pando, files larger than a specified size are
automatically converted. A copy of the file is sent to
Pandos servers, and only a small attachment gets
sent to the recipient, who must also have the free
software from Pando.
The Windows operating system and Internet Explorer are
required to send files using the Web-based plug-ins.
Windows users can also send files with the standalone
program or a plug-in for Microsofts Outlook e-mail
software.
Pando, which also supports the Mac, accepts files of
up to 1Gb.
The company plans to make money from ads, and a
premium version with higher limits and longer
retention. Files are deleted from Pandos servers
after 14
days under the free plan.
