[PLUG] Web file transfer site recommendations

I must use PSU's e-mail servers, even for my Comcast account, or I
won't be able to send e-mail when I am on campus.

Recent "upgrades" to the university e-mail system changed the maximum
e-mail attachment from 20 MB to 8 MB. 

Side question 1: How does this benefit the university? Doesn't the
entire e-mail and all its attachments merely pass through the
university's computers? Am I correct in thinking that the 20 ~ 8 MB
never resides on the university's servers?

This is seriously annoying to me. I cannot get files from my professors
because they are too big to pass through the university's e-mail
system. 

As a workaround, I am looking for web-based file storage sites. All I
have found so far are unacceptable.

Does anyone know of such a site (free) that does not require an e-mail
address so they can spam me forever with requests that I upgrade to a
for-pay account?
