How to mail a large file in gmail

Gmail has a file size limit of 25MB, which can be a challenge when trying to send large files. Here are a few ways to mail a large file in Gmail:

Method 1: Use Google Drive

  1. Upload your large file to Google Drive.
  2. Right-click on the file and select "Get link".
  3. Copy the link and paste it into the body of your Gmail message.
  4. Share the link with the recipient, and they can download the file from Google Drive.

Method 2: Use a File Sharing Service

  1. Choose a file sharing service like WeTransfer, Dropbox, or SendSpace.
  2. Upload your large file to the service.
  3. Get a shareable link or download link.
  4. Paste the link into the body of your Gmail message.

Method 3: Compress the File

  1. Compress your large file using a tool like WinZip, 7-Zip, or gzip.
  2. Reduce the file size to below 25MB.
  3. Attach the compressed file to your Gmail message.

Method 4: Use Gmail's "Add attachment" feature

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.
  2. Compose a new email.
  3. Click on the "Add attachment" button.
  4. Select "More" and then "Split large attachment".
  5. Choose a file from your computer or enter a link to a file hosted online.
  6. Gmail will split the file into smaller chunks and send them as separate attachments.

Method 5: Use a Third-Party Add-on

  1. Install a third-party add-on like Large File Sender or File Mailer.
  2. Follow the add-on's instructions to upload and send your large file.

Remember to always check the recipient's email provider and file size limits before sending large files.
