How to mail bigger size files

There are several ways to mail bigger size files, depending on the size of the file and the level of security required. Here are some options:

  1. Cloud Storage Services: Upload your file to a cloud storage service like Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, or Amazon S3. These services offer free storage space and allow you to share large files with others. You can also set permissions to control who can access the file.
  2. File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Use an FTP client like FileZilla to transfer large files to a remote server. FTP is a secure protocol that encrypts data in transit.
  3. Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP): Similar to FTP, SFTP is a secure protocol that encrypts data in transit. It's commonly used for transferring sensitive files.
  4. Asynchronous File Transfer (AFT): AFT is a method of transferring large files by breaking them into smaller chunks and sending them separately. The recipient can then reassemble the file.
  5. File Sharing Services: Services like WeTransfer, SendSpace, and File.io allow you to send large files to others. These services often have limitations on file size and storage space.
  6. Email Services with Large File Attachments: Some email services, like Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo Mail, allow you to send large files as attachments. However, these services often have file size limits, and large files may be split into smaller chunks.
  7. Third-Party File Transfer Services: Services like Hightail (formerly YouSendIt), FileCatalyst, and Aspera allow you to send large files securely and reliably.

When sending large files, consider the following best practices:

  1. Compress the file: Compressing the file can reduce its size and make it easier to transfer.
  2. Use a secure protocol: Use a secure protocol like SFTP or HTTPS to encrypt data in transit.
  3. Split the file: If the file is too large to send as a single attachment, consider splitting it into smaller chunks and sending them separately.
  4. Use a reliable transfer method: Choose a transfer method that is reliable and has a good track record of successful file transfers.
  5. Monitor the transfer: Monitor the transfer process to ensure that the file is being sent successfully and that there are no errors.

Remember to always check the file size limits and storage space available on the recipient's end before sending a large file.
