I can't figure out how to send an original file.  I used to use You Send It
all the time, but now they have started charging a fee.  I downloaded
DropBox but every time I try to send a file, it says I have exceeded the 25
MB limit.  What is the use of that!  If anybody knows how to send a large
file, please let me know.

Thanks,

Tina
