DropSend

DropSend is a software tool that allows users to send large files as though by email, through a small desktop client. DropSend has been available since at least November 25, 2005. It is available for Windows and Mac OS X. The service can send files of up to 2GB in size, and is available with 256bit AES Security.

On November 4, 2006, the parent company, Carson Systems, expressed an interest in selling its DropSend operations.[1] Flock is also reported to have expressed an interest in acquiring it.[2] Later, in 2008, Ryan Carson announced via Twitter that DropSend had been sold, though he did not specify to whom.[3]

It's official ... We've sold DropSend!!! Non-stop emailing with lawyers can now cease. Phew.

— Ryan Carson
