Pando Software--Share Large Files via Email for Free with Mac OS X

Many email services limit email attachments to 10MB or less which is hardly enough to share a folder full of holiday photos or video clips with distant family members or friends. If you are running Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, Pando Networks, Inc., offers free software and their servers for sharing image and video clip files. The software is available from this Pando Web page. Here is the Pando FAQ.

Pando allows one to:

• Send files of ANY size.
• Attach and send whole folders.
• Send files directly to someone's computer rather than make them go fetch on some Web site.
• Send files to friends even if they're away from their computer or offline at the time.
• Use it with both my Mac and Windows-based friends.
• Send large files quickly and easily without having to install a bloated program with lots of features I don't even need.

The latest version is 0.9 and here's what's new:

• No more registration. Just click and send!
  
• New HTML emails let you preview packages before downloading
  
• Much faster transfer connection times
  
• Expired package management – Pando searches for peers, you decide whether to download
  
• Enhanced email security - emails encrypted between Pando client and server
  
• Fixes to bugs you helped find

The free service is limited and includes some advertising but should prove useful to virtually all home uses. [Dana Baggett & Bill Fox]
