Customer Spotlights – A Few Great Stories

July 8, 2011

We recently have been reaching out to our base to hear their YouSendIt Success Stories. We have had so many great stories come back I had to share a few. And we always love to hear more, so feel free to post your own YouSendIt story in the comments.

“YouSendIt has become a vital tool in our ability to assist customers.  As the Technical Support Supervisor for a Battery Monitoring Company sometimes we have to send various data files, of varying sizes and formats, to customers.  We send .pdf files, .doc, .zip files, sometimes .exe files for software updates, and other data files used for our software.  YouSendIt allows us to easily interact with our end-users and customers and give them the information they need quickly, reliably, and from Outlook.  We have found that YouSendIt is much more reliable than using a customer email server in relaying the information to the customers as their server will block or sometimes unintentionally corrupt the data files. Every Support Engineer in our company has a YouSendIt account so that we can quickly get information to our customers.  It will always be a vital part of our business.” Chris, Technical Support

“We are a small publishing agency that represents living classical composers. People often contact us looking for musical works to consider for programming with orchestras and opera companies. They want to look at the score and listen to the piece, which we can oblige them by sending a PDF file of the score and an MP3 file of the recording. We don’t want to post these files on a public website, but prefer to have people contact us so we know who is making the request. And these files are generally too large for regular email.

YouSendIt is the perfect solution for us. We use Outlook as a mail client, so whenever we send a file over 1MB we automatically get a prompt asking if we want to use YouSendIt. Select “yes” and it uploads the file automatically, creates a link in the email, and puts a 7 day time limit on the file. We really like that, so our copyrighted works are not sitting on a server where anyone can download them forever; the link expires. It’s simple, easy, efficient, and scalable as our business changes and grows. There are other services out there that are similar, but I’ve yet to see one that works as well as YouSendIt. They seem to have a solid understanding of what people need and how to make it practical and easy. I recommend it to anyone who needs to send a large file to someone else. In other words, to everyone I know.” – Bill, Publishing

“I’m a time manager because I have to be. I wear multiple hats. I’m a court reporter and business owner, wife/minister’s wife with numerous responsibilities, local and long-distance proactive grandmother of five – and crazy about every one of them!  I’m also an author, speaker, columnist, and talk-show host in my spare time.  In every arena I operate, voluminous documents, pictures, media packets, audio and video files are uploaded and downloaded almost daily. Before discovering the beauty of YouSendIt, my time was bogged down, along with my computer.  YouSendIt freed me! It is amazing the speed at compressing multiple large files, as well as sending them across the hall or around the world! YouSendIt maximizes my time, and in today’s world time must be productive.” – Joyce, Court Reporting

YouSendIt Outlook Plug-in 2010

August 13, 2010

Good news! We updated our Outlook plug-in to be compatible with Outlook 2010. Like all our plug-ins, it integrates directly into the application so you don’t have to go outside your work environment. With the plug-in you can attach either single files or entire folders. No more bounced e-mails when you send large files, and no need to send multiple e-mails when you can just send the whole folder. The best thing about the plug-in is that it will automatically send files through YouSendIt service when attachments are larger than a pre-selected size. For the IT professionals, you do not need to worry about attachments slowing down your server. Enjoy the increased capacity!

Below is a picture of what your Outlook screen will look like. Attaching a file is no different than when you attach a file through Outlook. Once a file is attached you can click on the ‘Send Options’ button to customize your attachment. Features include: password protection, file expiration options, delivery with tacking, receiving a return receipt, and compressing files into a zip. We wanted to make sure that we make your life easier and more efficient.

Receiving a file through Outlook could not be easier. The recipient receives the file with a link (See below). The link will direct the recipient to the YouSendIt site where they can easily download the file. All can be easily and securely sent through our Outlook 2010. Enjoy!!

**Update: 64-bit Outlook Plug-in version available here. For 32-bit plug-in go to main site.

Email Entire Folders with Our Outlook Plug-in

July 23, 2009

Now it’s even easier to end the bounce-back blues, project delays and server pains that come with sending large amounts of information through email. Our latest plug-in allows you for the first time to send entire folders directly from Microsoft Outlook with just a click.

This means no more selecting multiple files as individual attachments. No more zipped folders. No more additional, time stealing steps added to the file sending process.

And no more IT guy pulling his hair out (and yours) over e-mail storage and network bandwidth issues.

Did you know*: the average worker sends and receives 44,700 e-mails per year, 29 percent of which have file attachments.  Of those attachments, 45 percent are larger than 10 MB.  In all, the traffic from each mailbox consumes 1.1 GB of storage annually.

We’re trying to help end this insanity while speeding up your work day. Without ever leaving Outlook people can now deliver entire folders of information, making access to YouSendIt as simple as ever, and allowing you to finish projects even quicker.

Similar to other YouSendIt plug-ins, including our previous version for Outlook, the plug-in lets you send up to 2 gigabytes of information at any one time, and you can configure it to automatically send all folders of a certain size via YouSendIt.

It’s another reason to fold YouSendIt into your work processes.

Exchange Connections Conference

November 25, 2008

The YouSendIt crew touched down in Las Vegas earlier this month to attend the Exchange Connections show, a gathering of IT professionals looking to make their systems more efficient and secure.

Our popular Outlook Plug-in (261,209 downloads this year since launching in March 2008)  turned heads as Microsoft Exchange email administrators quickly put two and two together:

1. Seamless integration into Outlook with centralized administration capabilities.
2. No change in behavior or process for end-users.  No more email bounce-backs.

The combination of easy deployment, instant adoption (more than 50% of YouSendIt enterprise users are sending from inside Outlook), and reducing strain on email servers proved to be a hit.  We’ll be coming out with even more products for email administrators and users over the coming months, stay tuned.

If you haven’t already, click here to try the plug-in. We’d love to hear what you think.
