WinZip® and YouSendIt Partner To Create New File Delivery Service
New WinZip® Courier, powered by YouSendIt, Offers PC Users
Easy and Secure Transfer of Large Zip Files
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.- April 24, 2007 -(BUSINESS WIRE)- WinZip Computing, a Corel
Company (NASDAQ:CREL; TSX:CRE) today announced a partnership with YouSendIt, Inc., the
leader in web-based file delivery for businesses, to provide a new file transfer service.
Available starting today, the new WinZip® Courier, powered by YouSendIt, is designed for
anyone who has ever had trouble e-mailing large files and was forced to turn to complicated FTP
solutions or expensive physical courier options. With WinZip Courier, busy professionals now have
an easy and secure way to send large files instantly.
“Today, more and more people are creating digital content that they need to share with others,
making large files the norm,” said Edwin Siebesma, President of WinZip Computing, “Yet
electronic delivery of large attachments through email is often limited to only 5MB. When sharing
files that are 50MB or more we find that many of our users will zip the files, burn them to CD or
DVD and then send them by messenger – a laborious and expensive process.”
“To save our users time and make the transfer of these large files more efficient, we are pleased
to announce our partnership with YouSendIt for our new WinZip Courier service. WinZip Courier
allows users to exchange large Zip files electronically – making it faster, easier and more cost
effective than ever before to share digital content with business colleagues or clients.”
“Finally business users have a professional solution to transfer files of all sizes – just zip and send
it without the worries of FTP or the cost of overnight delivery,” said Ivan Koon, CEO, YouSendIt.
“The ease of use, and the ability to track all files allows business users to focus on critical issues
and gain back valuable time.”
WinZip Courier is available in multiple versions, starting with two free options: WinZip Courier
Lite offers free transfers of files up to 50MB in size to a bandwidth limit of 1GB. WinZip Courier
Business Plus provides file transfers to a maximum size of 2GB with a 40GB bandwidth limit free
for 45 days.
