I use yahoo mail as a second email account and I noticed today that they have upgraded their free service to 100 MB with a 10MB file size limit.
Can this space be used for storing/uploading files for sharing and downloading?
I use my ISP, but it is limited to 10MB total. I am not use to using yahoo so any info would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Steve

Only works with email and nothing else like ftp or anything. Pretty slick how they allow us yahoo peepz to send 10mb emails now. They used to block my emails that were over 3mb, hopefully not any more :D

Yahoo TOS (http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/)

What about briefcase stuff??

I had a friend that use to share files on yahoo, but about 1 yr ago I introduced him to bitt.

Same here, but it does seem to be getting faster.
At first I thought it was all the files on Azureus.....lol.

Now that I think about it, my friend used yahoo geocities which limits you to 15mb.
Thats 1 rar at a time....lol.

Hello!

Want to send huge files by e-mail?

Just use Yousendit for the attachment that allow files up to 1GB in size and that are stored for up to 7 days.

Why would it?

Y! Mail does not scan the contents of the e-mail to offer you text based advertisements like Google's GMail does.
