How To Share Large Files With friends online

If you want to share/send a large file to someone over the Internet, There are mainly two options- you can either attach the files to an email messege or, if the file are too big (more then 25Mb) you can upload them in online storage service and share the download links with the recepients.

Below are the some popular services that make it easy to transfer large data files over the internet without any cost or hassels.

Using Web Hosts for File Transfer

1 Direct your browser to a common file hosting site (Skydrive, RapidShare and MegaUpload are two of the most common options), and register to create a free account. Attach the account to a commonly-used email address as it will be necessary for account confirmation.

2 Upload the file you wish to transfer by selecting the "Upload File" feature within your account page on your chosen host's website. When the file is uploaded successfully, you should be provided with a link for external download.

3 Provide the generated download link to whomever you intend to receive the file. The recipient will then be able to follow the link, and download the file to their system.

Using Email to share large files.

Hotmail :- With Hotmail You can send up to 200 attachments up to 50 MB each (9.8 GB total) per email.

This means that all attachments to a Windows Live Hotmail message plus the message text must not take more space than about 10 GB. Large files and photos will be uploaded to SkyDrive so recipients are not restricted by their email service's size limits.

Share files without registration

1) DropSend is popular among the creative community for sending large files to client. One significant difference of this service is that it always requires users to login before sending files. The good side of DropSend is its relatively large file size limit, 2GB but it comes with a lot of other restrictions.

Features:

• 2GB file limit


• Online storage of 250MB


• Only 5 sends per month


• 10 downloads per file


• Only 1 recipients per email

Personally i prefer a short and useful services round up rather than long list that stuffed with useless stuff. Hope that these four recommendations enlighten you of choices available on the internet to send large files. Do you use a better service? Welcome to share your opinion here.

2) WeTransfer.com  is a platform that you can use to send big files up to 2 gigabytes. Any filetype is possible.

  

Another option is to split the files into certain parts and send one by one which is very time consuming and not recommendable.
