This is not, strictly-speaking, a photography question, as it refers to an audio file, which I want to send to my sister. But it could, of course, apply to any large file, such as the typical RAW file that's been processed. She's 3,000 miles away, so via the internet would be vastly preferable to burning to disk and mailing it (or mailing a USB) via the postal service.
I use Yahoo Mail, and it will not accept any attachment this large (I think its limit is something like 5 MB, so my particular file is *way* too large.) Any suggestions? Both my sister and I have high speed internet, if that makes a difference.
Create a new Gmail account, if you not already have one. Google Email accounts give you a free Google Drive with 5 GB of storage space.
Upload your file to google drive into a folder. Then on the Google folder that contains your uploaded file, you Right Click it and click on Share and then put in the address of your sister and also get the link for this file.
Mail the link to your sister and your sister uses the link to download and file.
To save space, you delete the file after a week or two, so you can reuse the storage.
Most emails today restrict attachments file to 20 megabytes.
If this method fails, you can google to find out how it works?
I recently sent a large file using Gmail. I just tried to attach it in the usual way and Gmail told me it was being uploaded to Google Drive and it placed the link in the body of the email,
It worked.
