How to Send Large Video Files for Free

November 12, 2014

[gard group=’1′]

Despite the fact the we have progressed in leaps and abounds in file transfer tech, we still face trouble when we want to transfer large files for free such as videos and other documents via email. Most email services have restrictions on attachment sizes limiting them to not more than 10 MB.

Of course Gmail and Yahoo! offer a little more of up to 25MB and 20MB but that may still not be enough in some cases such as when you intend to transfer a photo album of your first child’s birthday party to your parent’s who are living in another continent. You can make use of certain services like Filemail but they can get pretty expensive. For all those cases where you want to transfer large files for free, we offer you a few interesting options.

Tools to Send Large Video Files for Free

There are several free web tools and services that you can make use of to transfer large files for free. Here are some of them.

Dropbox

Dropbox is a name that immediately springs to mind when you talk about large file transfers and why not. Its free, you can save files of up to 2 GB and this can be increased to plenty more should you choose to employ one of their many bonus schemes. It works on practically any platform you can think of. There’s even an offline mode available so you always have access to the files even if you don’t have an active internet connection.

WeTransfer

WeTransfer definitely ranks among one of the best web services to use when you want to transfer large files for free. There is still a limit for free transfer but its up to 2GB, which should adequately fit most of your needs. You don’t need to sign up or register when you transfer files for free and you can do multiple uploads if you want to.

The maximum number of people you can send the file to is limited to 20 people at a time. You can transfer large files via email or via a downloadable link. The free files will not be available on their servers forever. There’s a 7 day limit in the free version so you’ll have to ensure that the recipient downloads the files before 7 days. You can also do free file transfers via their Android app.
