1. How to Send

Use a File-Transfer SiteInstead of relying on email, you can turn to a third-party file transfer website. Upload the file you wish to send and enter your name and email address along with the name and address of your recipient. The site houses the file online and sends your recipient a download link. How large can the file be? That depends on the service, and what you're willing to pay.

WeTransfer.com

WeTransfer.com is a user-friendly service popular with many people. Just select the file you want to send from your computer and then add the email addresses and compose your message. Click the Transfer button to send your file to the recipient.

A free ad-supported WeTransfer account allows file sizes up to 2GB. You don’t need to create an account, but guests have to enter an emailed verification code for each transfer. For $12 per month, a WeTransfer Pro account allows files as large as 20GB as well as other benefits.
