SoShare free .. for very large bundles (files)
https://soshareit.com
SoShare - Share as many large photos, videos, audio files, or any other file types as you want, for free.
We call it SoShare. It’s a simple, free file delivery service. And it’s a beautiful way to move big ideas around the web.
With SoShare, you can send files of any size. You can collaborate on media projects with friends and co-workers. Ideas are free. And so is SoShare. There are no caps or size limits on creativity.
So, you have a set of photos that you need to deliver to your client. Deadline’s looming. And you’ve got over 60 gigs of project images. Email’s out. Your syncing service is capped out.
We’ve been there. And that’s why we made SoShare.
First, set up for your free SoShare account.
After you’ve signed up, you’ll be asked to install the SoShare plug-in. This little plug-in will allow you to secure files, pause and resume file transfer, and move up to a terabyte of data, in one share.
Click the send files button. Create an email subject, choose your recipients, and add a message. It’s as simple as that. You can watch the status of your upload and transfer. Or, you can leave the site. If you need to shut down and go somewhere, SoShare will pick up where you left off once your computer is connected.
Your recipient will get an email when the bundle has been delivered. They’ll get a clickable link to the files, and they’ll see the Bundle landing page, with a gallery of thumbnails. To get the high-res images, all they need to do is click the download button, and install the plug-in. No need to sign up.
If you want to share a project with friends, you can create a public link ... auto delete after 30 days

Snaggy
http://snag.gy/
Snaggy ... paste images straight to the web
Snaggy is an image host that lets you paste images from your clipboard directly online. Any kind of image, from raw data to URL paths, can be pasted in one step. Snaggy also has a simple built-in editor you can use before you share your image.
Sharing screenshots has always been a big hassle: you have to press print-screen, then paste it into an image editor, then save the image to your local hard drive, then browse for it and upload it. This was always an annoyance for me, so I made snaggy to simplify the process into a single step. Since then it has saved me a lot of time, so I've made it public so that everyone can benefit from it.

We’re looking at five heavyweights: Microsoft SkyDrive, Box, YouSendIt, Dropbox, SugarSync, and Google Drive.
It’s just storage, right? Wrong – cost, security, terms of service, mobile app availability, and other differences mean choose wisely. We stack them up in our breakdown.

Droplr

Droplr offers a well designed iOS app.
It's a great alternative to Dropbox when you want to quickly share small files.

JustBeamIt
http://justbeamit.com/
JustBeamIt is a beta service that makes transferring files a snap!
Drag and drop a file, < 2GB in size, into the drop zone (box with highlighted border). A link will show that you can send to share the file, and you should see the message "waiting for recipient..."
Once your recipient starts downloading the file, the progress will start moving. Do NOT close the page at any point until the transfer is complete, as this will stop the transfer. JustBeamIt relies on you keeping your window open in order to transfer the file.
After the transfer is complete, you will see the message "transfer completed!" You can now safely close your browser window. Everything is streamed from source to destination through our service, and no file contents are recorded on our servers. We are also working on experimental https support.

Bitcasa
https://www.bitcasa.com/beta-signup?share=269698471
The cloud is now your hard drive. And not just a few dozen Gigabytes, Terabytes or even Petabytes, but all of it – infinite storage – for only $10 per month. This is the incredible promise of the new TechCrunch Disrupt finalist Bitcasa.
But Bitcasa is not like any of those services. It doesn’t move files around. It doesn’t sync files. It deals in bits and bytes, the 1′s and 0′s of digital data.

Use DROPitTOme as a Drop.io Replacement
""Many teachers were saddened to here about the sale of Drop.io to Facebook as it means that their system of collecting digital work from their students just went by the wayside.
Fortunately, there is an alternative. Using DROPitTOme in conjunction with Dropbox makes the process just as easy. Your first thought might be that I am recommending two different services. Yes, but once it is configured, it works as though it is one app."
