Hello Andrew,
From what I understand send space is no longer supported my Internet
Explorer. Is that true? I have not tried it since I heard that. Another
note, for those of you that are totally frustrated with the new Dropbox
interface it can be easily switched back by going to preferences and
changing the open with option to file explorer instead of desktop app. This
is in the General Tab. A reboot will be required to finish the job. HTH.

Hi Justin
There are numerous options and claiming that a particular one is the best is
likely to result in howls of protest from fans of alternatives.
With that caveat, I am a big fan of Sendspace (www.sendspace.com). The
website, while not the last word in accessibility, is far and away easier to
navigate with a screen reader than Dropbox. If you install their app,
accessibility is brilliant in Windows and not too bad on Mac.
You can have either a free account or several options for a paid account. A
paid account gives you faster download speed, no ads and no expiry on
retention of files.
For sending people demos, you can either paste the link into an email, which
I normally do, or send a formal email, both options available via the
Application Key in the app. It is a bit messier from the website, more so
for me because I rarely use that option.
One important consideration is that Sendspace does not automatically sync
material between your computer and itself. That is, you have to manually
upload a file to Sendspace and delete it when you no longer want it there.
Fans of Dropbox and others may not like that approach.

Other than dropbox, what is the best way to send a demo to people.
Thanks,
