YouSendIt, the popular email alternative for sending large files, is no more, instead the service has been relaunched under the brand name Hightail, as in lets hightail it out of town.

Still seeking to associate itself with a speedy method of sending large documents and other files, Hightail is also planning to offer better integration with Found Software, the cross-cloud-service file search service YouSendIt acquired earlier this year.

"People like you and I, we have Gmail, Evernote, maybe Dropbox, YouSendIt, Box. All of a sudden, I can't remember -- where is that thing you sent me? Found lets users search all those cloud services, as well as local drives," said Founder and CEO Brad Garlinghouse.

He explained the choice of the name Hightail thus

 "With a name that strides like a giant across a landscape of Boxes, Syncs and Shares alongside an audaciously elegant look that contrasts with the endless dreary blues of the cloud space, Hightail leads by example. It is the standard bearer that will help transform steady growth into true evolution and take our business to the next level.

"What has not changed is our core offering, the reason why professionals from architects to attorneys, salespeople to singers choose us to share ideas and work together. Hightail remains an easy and secure way to access and share files and folders on any device, anywhere, while fitting in with how you already work and giving you complete control of your valuable information.
And that’s just what we currently do. We’ve got big plans to truly transform the world of digital sharing with ideas so exciting and innovative they needed a brand to match."

Hightail is now offering unlimited storage to users for $US15.99 per month. That’s as opposed to Dropbox, which offers 2 gigabytes of storage for free, but charges $US9.99 and up for 100GB or more. For $US15 per month, Box offers 1 terabyte (1000 GBs).
