   If you have a website, files could be uploaded to your site host; i.e.: 

www.mycompanysite.com/customer-drawings/8.dwg

The public need not know the drawing is online.
The intended recipient would be sent the web address; i.e.:

www.mycompanysite.com/customer-drawings/8.dwg

You could also use any web storage service, to store drawings.
Years ago, I did this at work, to retrieve the files when I got home or to my destination. Worked great for many large files.

Keep in mind, the public can't see or download the data. Only the intended receiver, given the URL, could download the file(s).

Breaking the email files into multiple emails is a very good way to move data as Cad64 pointed out. Many corporate email programs will deny files over whatever limits they might have put in place.

Many ISP's also offer storage and/or URL's to their subscribers as part of the package deal. That location is also unknown until you pass it out to your intended receiver.

	I send and receive files through email every day. Sometimes the zip files can get up around 10mb, but 90% of the time they are much smaller than that. There have been times that I've broken the transfer into 2 or 3 emails in order to send all the files, and on rare occasions I will burn a disk and overnight it, but I've never had to involve a 3rd party online service. So my question is, why can't you just send your files via email? If this is an ongoing issue, maybe you should look into setting up an ftp site. Or maybe Pablo is just a spammer trying to advertise his new file transfer website, that delivers overnight in USA and Canada?

	A contractor recently sent me drawings via a service that I think was called "Send BIG drawings" ........ ----------- I wonder where they came up with that idea???!!!!! Anyway, it was the first time that I had ever seen that service. Sometimes I've had to split drawings up into smaller packets and send them.
