How to send large files on Windows 10

Sending large files over the Internet in Windows 10 can be challenging, even if you previously zipped a file because the standard Email services such as Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook have limits on the maximum attachment size you can send. So you can send a maximum of up to 25 MB in one email via Gmail, up to a maximum of 25 MB via Yahoo, and you can send a maximum of up to 20 MB via Outlook. However, there’s an easy way around these limitations by using Filemail (a free online service for sending large files, no size limit). See how in our video below.
