Other person does not see file transfer?
I am trying to send files to a friend. For a while now, they have been unable to see any of the file transfers I have attempted. Other things, like the photo sharing invitation, they can see.

I attempted this with other people and nobody else has been able to see my fileshare attempts. What's wrong here?

Yahoo's limit is 25 MB per mail in total for free accounts AND for the Plus paid accounts, but often even that size fails to attach and send - or is rejected by the receiver's server as too large. You are also limited to five attachments per mail. It also slows down the mail program for those with downloaded mail. You might try some of the file and video sharing services like Flickr (a Yahoo product), Photobucket, Snapfish, Picasa or many others.

New regular Yahoo Mail users have a program built right in that lets you send files up to 100 MB in size. You can find the Attach Large Files app in the Applications section underneath your folders. If you don't see it listed, you can add it to your list by clicking the plus sign ...

There are many free services which allow sending files of 50 MB or even 2 GB. Set up an account once you decide which service to use. Once uploaded, the file(s) can be downloaded by the recipient after you send the link. The files are available for a limited time, depending on the service used.
People with desktop mail clients will appreciate your sending large files this way, since it speeds up their mail downloads.
