New Feature: Revoke access to files you sent...
We’ve all been there one time or another; you fire off an email with some confidential files and you mis-typed the email address… What do you do?
You can recall the email - if you have Microsoft Outlook and your company uses Microsoft Exchange.
You can hope that they dont read your confidential information; probably not the best.
You can keep quite and hope it all goes away - really...

Choose where your data is stored
With other online data transfer providers your files are most likely stored on servers in the United States of America. For personal files this is probably OK with you, but if you are a company in Europe there are sometimes laws or guidelines as to where you can legally store your data; to this end we have given our Professional and Business customers the ability to choose where 2Big2Send stores...
Enhanced Delivery Download Notifications
We have introduced an enhancement to our download notification system. You can now choose to receive an email notification when each file is downloaded or when all the files have been successfully downloaded. You can also choose to select a different email address to send the notifications to, so you can send them to your_name+2big2sendnotifications@example.com for filtering.
To enable delivery...
Send Expiring Emails
You may have a situation where you want to send somebody a few files, but you only want them to be able to download them for a certain amount of time… We have just enabled the feature that will allow you to do this.
It is a simple advanced option you can choose when you send your files.

FTP Replacement
FTP has been being used to transfer files to well over a decade. This ageing technology has unfortunately not kept up with the requirements of modern day business.
FTP required you to either share all files in a folder or go through the whole process of setting up a new user to only share one folder, then you had to send your recipient a username and password and probably explain to them how to...

Do you know where your data is going?
We have seen in the media recently, here, here and here, that corporate data loss is everywhere; but it is mainly coming from the actions of your employees rather than outside hackers.
We are rolling an auditing suite into our next release which will give you the ability to track who sent files, who they were sent to and when and where they were downloaded. Coupled with this will be an optional...

More secure file sending
We know a lot of people don’t think twice about security; but it is getting to the point where we have to start.
At the moment when you send your files the recipient gets an email with a link that they follow and can automatically download; for the more security concious ones this may seem too easy.
So we have just rolled out passworded file sending. This gives you the ability to set a...

The new uploader
What’s The Difference?
You can upload multiple files from the same window
It shows you when a file is totally uploaded and verified
The upload does not start automatically ie: when you don’t expect it to
We added better handling for multi byte characters ie: Chinese/Japanese file names
You can stop and start the uploads at your leisure
Files that you added by accident can now be...
