Sending a large file. Sending large files by mail
Today we bring to your attention a useful compilation cheat sheet that will always and everywhere help you find the best way hand over a large file to a person.
Email is convenient, but many popular email services impose serious restrictions on the size of attachments. For example, in Gmail and Outlook each separate file cannot exceed 25 MB in size.
You can refuse mail in favor of a more flexible solution, but if for one reason or another this cannot be done, then a simple freeware multi-platform utility will help you HJ-Split. With her help original file is divided into pieces the right size and is inserted/transferred in parts, after which it is just as easily glued together on the recipient’s side.
Classic web storage
If the file is generally large, then the best solution may turn out to be cloud storage: Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and their analogues. Preference for one or another service here, as a rule, is given depending on habit, but in extreme cases it is necessary to look at the maximum capabilities of each storage facility.
OneDrive allows you to upload a file with a maximum size of up to 2 GB.
"Yandex.Disk" has a limit of 10 GB, but if you need to download something heavier than 2 GB, you will need a desktop client.
Google Drive in this regard, it is much more powerful and eats up a file up to 5 TB (5,000 GB). Naturally, large files here also need to be downloaded through the client.
It is difficult to imagine a situation in which the user would not have enough Google features Drive, but, just in case, Dropbox There is no designated limit on the size of one file at all. Do you have a desktop client? Go ahead, upload all the Internets of the world to it! In the last two cases, the limitation is not the file size, but the size of the personal storage.
Paranoid's Corner
Fans of increased privacy should pay attention to the freemium service WeTransfer. It does not ask for registration and allows you to transfer a file up to 2 GB in size almost anonymously directly from the browser, knowing only the recipient’s email. The file uploaded here will be stored for seven days.
Superparanoid's Corner
All the methods described above have one drawback: in order to transfer something, you need to upload this “something” somewhere. Simply put, your data will be temporarily (or forever) stored on remote servers. If this prospect does not suit you, then there remains an option called JustBeamIt, based on the peer-to-peer principle. Transferred file will not be uploaded anywhere, but will run directly from you to the recipient. The service's web shell supports Drag&Drop and is very easy to use. We drag the file, get a link (link lifespan is 10 minutes), transfer it to the recipient in any acceptable way.
Another P2P transfer method is a service called Infinite. In addition to everything that the previous tool can do, Infinit supports stopping/resuming downloads, and in the case of transferring video files, it allows you to start watching immediately after the start of the transfer.
Skype and other instant messengers
Modern and not so modern messengers cope quite successfully with file transfer. IN in this case maximum size file depends on the specific service used. For example, the most popular Skype, although slow, works on the same P2P principle and, in fact, has no limit on the size of the transferred file.
This material only covers methods associated with the use of truly popular products and services. There are many other cloud storages, FTP and dozens more more or less convenient ways to transfer a large file. If you have your own elegant and simple solution for transferring large amounts of data, share it in the comments.

- file sharing services
- file hosting services
- using synchronization
- transferring a file via torrent

Synchronization tools allow you to transfer a file to another computer directly, but, unfortunately, free solutions Hardly ever.

How to transfer a large file via Yandex Disk
To use the Yandex.Disk service, you must have a Yandex mail account. Using the Yandex service, you can transfer a large file in two ways: directly through Yandex Disk, or send a large file by attaching the file to an email message.
When sending a file via email, click on the "Attach files from Drive" icon and then send the message to the recipient.
You can attach a file up to 10 GB in size to an email message (provided the Yandex Disk client program is installed on your computer). The recipient can save a file larger than 2 GB on his Yandex.Disk, and a file up to 2 GB can be downloaded to a computer or saved to Disk.
Please note that Yandex Disk allows you to upload files up to 10 GB in size (via the Yandex.Disk application, or by), and when uploading via the web interface, the file size cannot exceed 2 GB.
The second way to transfer a large file via Yandex: copy the link to the file directly from Yandex Drive, and then send it to the recipient. The link can be sent to one person, several recipients, or posted publicly.
Follow these steps:
In the cloud storage, the file will be available for download continuously until it is deleted from the storage, or public access to this link is closed.
In a similar way, you can use the services of another cloud storage, for example Google Drive, Cloud Mail.Ru, Dropbox, etc. Cloud storages have different size provided to the user, some of its features.
How to send a large file to Mega
Mega.nz - cloud storage providing 50 GB free of charge disk space. Feature of this repository is the encryption of files placed in the cloud. Files are encrypted on the user's side.
Login cloud Mega storage, right-click on the file and select “Get link” in the context menu.
In the Export Links and Decryption Keys window that opens, select the option you want to send a link to the file, and then copy the link.
Mega uses the following link export options:
- Link without a key - link to a file without a decryption key
- Decryption key - the key to decrypt the link
- Link with key - link with decryption key
Another user can easily download the file to his computer by receiving a link to the file with the decryption key. When transmitting a link without a key, the recipient will have the opportunity to download the file only after receiving the decryption key.

For the recipient of a large file, it is advisable to have a Mega account in order to download the file without problems due to restrictions. After receiving a link to a file larger than 5 GB, the recipient must save the file on their Mega storage (this happens instantly), and then download the file to their computer from their storage.
