Click Here BT do free on-line storage for sharing. I signed up but haven't used it yet. Beware that if you don't access it regularly (once a month??) it gets deleted I understand.0

Google Mail (Gmail) has a storage capacity of nearly 3Gb.
So set up a new Gmail account to use as your online store.
Then send your files as attachments to the new Gmail address - and give the other person the name and password.
You can even automate the upload to Gmail by using 'Gmail Drive'- a free program which turns your Gmail account into a drive on your computer.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail account directly from inside Windows Explorer.
GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.GMail Drive shell extension is a tool that creates a virtual filesystem.0 -

if you need a gmail invite then pm me your email address (I think thats the only way an invite can be sent) and I'll send you an invite. HOpe its not against forum rules to ask for an email address for this?

The GMail drive is quite good, but you will need to install software on your machine to get it to work. Also, some companies block access to these sites from work (a previous client of mine did, which made it difficult trying to get files back out!).
That said, I created a GMail account purely for storage, which I use as a temporary backup.
If anyone needs a Gmail invite, PM me.
