by Justin Langer Content Manager

People use the internet to gather information on any topic. The virtual platform also enables a person to communicate with another person through e-mails. Access to the internet eliminates the need to travel to the office. One can work from his/her home and submit the assignment at the end of the day. When an individual sends the work from his/her e-mail ID to another virtual address, he/she transfers a digital record. These digital records are of a specific size. It is rather easy to send and receive small-sized documents. Problems arise when one needs to send big folders. The software companies develop virtual tools, which can relocate large-sized data with ease.


Top virtual data transfer tools

1.    Firefox Send – As the name suggests, Mozilla developed and launched this tool. It is easy to use. One can send and receive files without worrying about privacy issues. If you use the free version of this tool, you can send up to 1 GB data. If one needs to send bigger files, up to 2.5 GB, then he/she musty log in. The automatic expiring link ensures that the data is no longer available in the virtual realm.

2.    Smash – It is another free data-sharing tool that enables one to send and receive digitized records. The device comes without any size limitations. The tool can save the data for 14 days. The person who receives the file can check it online and then download it. The tool also allows the sender to track the information on a real-time basis. Apart from this, the sender can protect the data with a password. It ensures better confidentiality. 

3.    Hightail – The former name of this data-sharing tool was YouSendIt. The company updated the features and re-launched the software in 2013. The name of the free version of this tool is Lite.

The paid Pro version enables the user to send data that measure up to 25GB. Apart from file tracking, the paid version offer email notifications. 

4.    Dropbox – It is rather challenging to send and receive high-resolution images and videos. Such file transfer becomes difficult due to the file size. If you desire to use the tool, then you need to register on the site. Once you open an account, you can use the tool to send and receive data.
