If your file is too large to send as a regular email attachment, which is common in many types of work, you can upload it to a cloud storage service like Dropbox. Then, simply generate a shareable link and add that link to your email message—you don’t need to compress or split the file.

You can use Dropbox Transfer to send big files. The person you send them to doesn’t need a Dropbox account. Just upload your file, set an expiry date, or add a password if you want, and share the link. You can send bigger and bigger files with flexible paid plans.

Use Dropbox Transfer or a shared Dropbox folder. With Transfer, you can send up to 100 GB (or 250 GB with the Replay Add-On). Just upload your files, set your options, and share the download link.
