hey youtube! tech intimidation, todaywe're talking about emailing large files. so, number one, if you have gmail you cansend attachments that are up to 25 megabytes in size.
How To Access Icloud Numbers, so that's quite a bit of space, the old limit used to be five megabytesfor most email systems, gmail upped the ante to 25megabytes. but, you still have a problem on theother side,
what if the other person receiving youre-mail cannot receive more than five megabytes or can'treceive up to 25 megabytes? they still will not... your email will just get rejected. so, we need another workaround to send largefiles. two options. first one is google drive. if you have a gmailaccount you have a drive account. and you can upload files into your drive account which was just recently expanded. nowyour file space
can be up to 15 gb. you have up to 15 gb ofspace. and so, what i did was i uploaded this video,which is huge. over here you can see, i get the info,same file... it's 1.23 gb. so it's way too big for an email. i put it in drive, sonow i have that file in my drive account and if i mouse over the attachment button i have an insert files using
drive button. i clicked that and i can either add files here if i just drag-and-drop. or ican select from files that are already in my drive account. and what that does is itinserts a link. so now... it's not actually inserting the file inthe email, it's adding a link. and only the person that you send thisto you has access to that file. its not publicly available, it's only available to theperson that you email it to. so that's an option number one. optionnumber two... is to use dropbox. so...
i have another video on three ways toyou share and collaborate with dropbox and that outlines the different ways to do that. if youhave dropbox already installed you just open your dropbox folder, go to your public folder, or just drop itanywhere in your dropbox. copy your file into there. it's already in there for me... just to save time. and you will justright click, or control-click if you are on a mac, and
click "copy public link" go back to your email and paste it in. and then they will be able to download the video from that link. and this link withdropbox is publicly available to anyone. they don'thave to have a dropbox account they can forward that link to anyone andanyone with that link will be able to download it. and that is how you can email largefiles! so, if you have any questions orcomments just leave them below also subscribe for more videos from techintimidation!
