Most web based services such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hotmail.com\">Hotmail<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gmail.com\">Gmail<\/a> won&#8217;t even let you upload large files although I don&#8217;t advise even trying it unless you want to hang your e-mail client.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re working on a network and want to share large files with other users, then it&#8217;s far better to place them on a shared drive. However, if that&#8217;s not an option then try <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filemail.com\/\">Filemail<\/a> which allows you to send attachments of up to 2GB in size absolutely free. When you surf into Filemail, it takes you immediately to an e-mail compose screen so there&#8217;s no annoying registration procedure to go through &#8211; just start composing and off you go. The maximum attachment size is 2GB although you can upload multiple files at once.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2008\/05\/filemail-diagram.jpg\" alt=\"Filemail diagram\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, it doesn&#8217;t work quite like a conventional e-mail client. Once the files are uploaded, they are encrypted using 128bit AES algorithm and a small e-mail is delivered to the recipients, containing a short message from you and a hyperlink where the files can be downloaded. After the specified number of days or number of downloads has expired, the files are removed completely from Filemail&#8217;s servers. The only downside is that it can be a bit slow when uploading files but this is a far superior solution to trying to send bulky e-mails or sign up for registration only upload sites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adding large attachments to e-mails is still something that most of us steer clear of if we don&#8217;t want to wait half an hour for them to upload or crash your mail server.
