Email Attachments Let Loose
Email Attachments Let Loose
October 21, 2008: A hosted solution to delivering files up to 2GB has been launched by a subsidiary of Brisbane-based software developer Manaccom.
2Large2Email has announced the beta availability of its flagship product, a web application that allows files up to 2GB to be sent across the Internet rather than by traditional email
2Large2Email is designed for small- to mid-sized businesses that struggle to send large files, in particular industries such as architecture, graphic design, legal, accounting, education and software and web engineering.
After creating an account with 2Large2Email, a user clicks on the stored file to be emailed and enters the recipients' emails. Large files are uploaded to 2Large2Email's US-based servers where they are stored until the recipient downloads them via an emailed link.
"Simply stated, email accounts can't handle large file attachments, forcing people to copy material to CD and courier the disc. We developed 2Large2Email after hearing so many tales of woe from friends in a wide range of industries, from architects to graphics designers, who all had a common complaint -- it was too difficult, expensive and time-consuming to send the large files their businesses depend on," commented James Mackay, founder and President of 2Large2Email.
In 2007, James Mackay was CEO of software publishing house Manaccom P/L (MPL), a division of listed Australian company Manaccom Corporation. While in this role, he developed the 2Large2Email. Mackay stepped down from his role of CEO of MPL in early 2008 to focus his energies on the web application side of the company. The company is based in Brisbane, and remains a fully owned division of Manaccom Corporation.
