There are several effective ways to send large files via email despite the typical file size limits (usually around 20-25 MB):
- Use Secure File Sharing Services:
- TitanFile: No file size limits, automatic encryption, secure sharing with a link sent via email.
- Filemail: Allows sending files up to 5 GB free, with secure cloud storage and a trackable download link sent to the recipient's email.
- Use Cloud Storage Services:
- Google Drive: Upload large files (up to 15 GB free), then share via link or add recipients' emails to share files.
- iCloud Mail Drop: Automatically uploads large files (up to 5 GB) and sends a download link instead of an attachment.
- Use File Transfer Tools:
- WeTransfer: Free up to 2 GB, generates a link sent to recipients.
- SendAnywhere: Up to 10 GB free transfer with a generated key or link.
- TransferNow: Free plan supports up to 5 GB, premium up to 50 GB.
- Other Tips:
- For Outlook, resizing images before sending reduces attachment size.
- Some tools have plugins that integrate directly with email clients for seamless sending.
In all cases, the large files are uploaded to a secure server or cloud platform. The recipient receives a link to download the file, bypassing email size constraints and often adding security features like encryption and password protection. This approach avoids sending large attachments directly in email, making the process secure and reliable. Let me know if details on any specific method or tool are needed!
