How to email large files in mail

The age-old problem of sending large files via email!

There are a few ways to email large files, and I'll outline some of the most common methods below:

Method 1: Compressing files

  1. Use a file compression tool like WinZip, 7-Zip, or gzip to compress your file. This will reduce the file size, making it easier to send.
  2. Attach the compressed file to your email.

Method 2: Cloud storage services

  1. Upload your file to a cloud storage service like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Microsoft OneDrive.
  2. Share the file link with the recipient via email. This way, the recipient can download the file directly from the cloud storage service.

Method 3: File sharing services

  1. Use a file sharing service like WeTransfer, File.io, or SendSpace to upload your file.
  2. Enter the recipient's email address and a brief message, and the service will send the file to them.

Method 4: Email services with large file attachments

  1. Use an email service that allows large file attachments, such as Gmail (up to 25 MB), Outlook (up to 20 MB), or Yahoo Mail (up to 25 MB).
  2. Attach your file to the email, and the recipient should be able to download it.

Method 5: Third-party file transfer services

  1. Use a third-party file transfer service like Filemail, FileTransfer, or TransferBigFiles to send large files.
  2. Upload your file to the service, enter the recipient's email address, and the service will send the file to them.
