UPDATE 10/29/07: We went with a YouSendIt Business Plus account coupled with their embeddable iBox widget so we can now upload up to 2Gb files seamlessly within our website. We’re able to pass along unique identifiers that get associated to each file and get a post-back each time a file is uploaded to keep our db up-to-date. We won’t use for upload under 4Mb, just those that become a pain when using Apache and PHP. The iBox is beta, but working fine.

We’re considering a project that would require us to support uploading of files upto 40Mb. We do not need to serve the files, just store them for later viewing.

Php5/apache2 isn’t great for uploading big files, perl is better but maybe not big enough.

Can anyone recommend a 3rd party service we could use, ideally one that sits right within our site

Requirements are:

• » Easy to integrate to our site, no account creation or secondary login required.
• » Ability to easily associate, unique id, and other metdata with each file that we’d pass along to the upload page
• » Easy ability to download files individually or bulk.
• » Inexpensive or free ;>

Any suggestions? Thx.
