    Great list of efficiency apps! I have a question about Large Document. I just had to send a large document to someone that wouldn’t work with email. I finally used a shared Dropbox folder. Is Large Document useful for documents that need to be kept confidential? Do they work with image, audio and video files as well as text files?

    Thanks for this great article!

      Hi Carolyn,
      LargeDocument is a secure file transfering/sharing service and lets you transfer high resolution photos and videos too! Plus you can even publish directly to Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, or LinkedIn. However, the service is temporarily unavailable as the team is working on some new features.
