Email is convenient, but many popular email services impose serious restrictions on the size of attachments. For example, in Gmail and Outlook, each individual file cannot exceed 25 MB in size.
You can refuse mail in favor of a more flexible solution, but if for one reason or another this cannot be done, then a simple freeware multi-platform utility will help you HJ-Split . With its help, the source file is divided into pieces of the required size and inserted/transferred in parts, after which it is just as easily glued together on the recipient’s side.
How to upload files?
By going to the main page of the service, you can see a minimal set of functions that are difficult to get confused about.
By clicking on the round DropMeFiles button, we see that a file upload window opens.
By the way, the word “drop” or “drag” is in the name for a reason. We often upload files to websites using a form. We often click “Download” and after that a special window opens, in which we select the file and click “Open”.
This option also works here, but it also has the advantage of dragging. Just find the file on your computer, click and drag it into the browser to the Dropmefiles page.
Below is a form for sending a link by e-mail.
Classic web storage
If the file is generally large, then cloud storage may be the best solution: Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and their analogues. Preference for one or another service here, as a rule, is given depending on habit, but in extreme cases it is necessary to look at the maximum capabilities of each storage facility.
OneDrive allows you to upload a file with a maximum size of up to 2 GB.
Yandex.Disk has a limit of 10 GB, but if you need to download something heavier than 2 GB, you will need a desktop client.
Google Drive is much more powerful in this regard and eats files up to 5 TB (5,000 GB). Naturally, large files here also need to be downloaded through the client.
It's hard to imagine a situation in which a user would not have enough Google Drive capabilities, but, just in case, Dropbox does not have a designated limit on the size of a single file. Do you have a desktop client? Go ahead, upload all the Internets of the world to it! In the last two cases, the limitation is not the file size, but the size of the personal storage.

All the methods described above have one drawback: in order to transfer something, you need to upload this “something” somewhere. Simply put, your data will be temporarily (or forever) stored on remote servers. If this prospect does not suit you, then there remains an option called JustBeamIt , based on the peer-to-peer principle. The transferred file will not be uploaded anywhere, but will go directly from you to the recipient. The service's web shell supports Drag&Drop and is very easy to use. We drag the file, get a link (link lifespan is 10 minutes), transfer it to the recipient in any acceptable way.
Another P2P transfer method is a service called Infinit . In addition to everything that the previous tool can do, Infinit supports stopping/resuming downloads, and in the case of transferring video files, it allows you to start watching immediately after the start of the transfer.
Skype and other instant messengers
Modern and not so modern messengers cope quite successfully with file transfer. In this case, the maximum file size depends on the specific service used. For example, the most popular Skype, although slow, works on the same P2P principle and, in fact, has no limit on the size of the transferred file.
This material only covers methods associated with the use of truly popular products and services. There are many other cloud storages, FTP and dozens more more or less convenient ways to transfer a large file. If you have your own elegant and simple option for transferring large amounts of data, share it in the comments.
