Emails can be rejected if the attachment size becomes too large. For example, when sending a 30mb attachment to someone using hotmail, the email won’t reach him simply beacuse the file size is too large.

To overcome this, file hosting services can be used. These sites host files for you, all you have to send is the link for your receipient to download the file. This is useful as the file size limit is increased from 10mb (hotmail)/20mb (Gmail) to the limit that the host provides. The file size of these host range from 100mb to 2gb (average). I would encourage all to use these host to send files. Basically, after uploading files to host, a link will be provided so you can share it. I usually use these 2 host when I need to.

  1. zshare
  2. Mediafire

However, there are certain drawbacks to these kind of host. For example, some host only host your file for a certain time frame. Well, I know that zshare and Mediafire do not pose these kind of restrictions. Anyway, if you would like to upload to multiple host, you might want to try Gazup!
