Sending
a large file to someone and realized how inconvenient it is? Almost every email
service providers have little file size limits on attachments and that is 25MB
which quite small if we want to send high-resolution videos or other large files,
here are some various methods for email service to send large files
1)
Gmail
The
most popular email service in the world, Gmail has also strict 25 MB limit on attachments.
Gmail offers an easy way to attach larger files. Follow these simple steps if
you wish to do so::
1) Make sure you are using
Gmail’s default view before trying this because this method doesn’t work if you’re
using Gmail’s basic HTML view.
2) Click the compose button on
the top-left>hover your mouse over the +icon in the compose window>click
insert from Drive>upload your file to Google Drive. This way you can upload
files larger than 25MB.
3) If you’re already using a
different cloud service, then you might not want to have some files stored on
Google Drive. To quickly attach these files when using Gmail, try a Chrome
extension called cloudy.
4) Go to compose a
mail>click the Cloudy button on the top-right>select the cloud service
you use. Dropbox , Box , Google Drive ,OneDrive , Github ,photos from Facebook ,Instagram,
Flickr and Picasa are supported. Add the file and send.
2)
Yahoo Mail
Yahoo
mail’s default attachment is also limit of 25MB. However, Yahoo does support
sending larger files via Flickr(for images) or Dropbox (for everything else).
1. Sign in>click compose to
start writing a new email.
2. Click the down arrow next
to the paper clip icon for attachments and select share via Flickr or share via
Dropbox..
3. Youll’be prompted to authorize
Yahoo Mail’s access to Flickr/Dropbox. This is a one-time activity which
happens the first time you use either service via Yahoo Mail.
4. Once the authorization is complete,
you can pick the file(s) you want to share. These files can then be opened by anyone,
even if they aren’t Flickr/Dropbox users. if you upload files to Dropbox using
Yahoo Mail, the maximum attachment size is capped at 150MB.For larger files,
try using Dropbox directly, as explained in the previous section.
3)
Outlook.com
Outlook
users can also send large files easily, but by default they can attach only
20MB per email. Here’s how to attach bigger files:
1)
Log in>click Compose
2)
Click the down arrow next to the Insert button at the top and select share via
OneDrive.
This
lets you attach files from your OneDrive account .All you need to do is upload
files to OneDrive via your computer, mobile device, or the Onedrive Web
interface, and select them when prompted by Outlook.com.
