How to transfer large files for free?

Want to upload a file that is too large for an email attachment? We advise you on how to do it without any costs - check it out! How to transfer large files for free.

The need to send a large email file may arise from time to time - for example, you have vacation or party photos that you want to share with your friends. Social networks have limits on the size of files that can be uploaded, and so does e-mail. That is why we advise the services of other websites - they are completely free, and you can be sure that you will pass everything on to the recipients.

WeTransfer

WeTransfer is a service that allows you to send files with a total size of 2 GB for free. You don't need to sign up for it - you just enter your e-mail address, followed by the e-mail addresses of the recipients. It can be up to twenty people! Then you upload the files - the recipient will get a link to download them.

I don't have any particular comments about the service, except that at certain times the files load is irritatingly slow - which means that a lot of people use WeTransfer.

Send Anywhere

Send Anywhere is a service that is very similar, but allows you to transfer up to 4 GB of data. You can use an email address or create a direct link - you will then receive a six-digit download code. The recipient goes to the Send Anywhere website, types it in - and can download the files you uploaded. It's a simple and neat solution.

MailBigFile

MailBigFile in the free version allows you to send up to five files, but note - each can be up to 2 GB in size. So, theoretically, 10 GB will be sent in one sitting. The recipient has up to 10 days to download the files. You can attach a text message to the files.
