Email, Slack, cloud storage providers, productivity apps; there are so many ways to share files. It can get confusing when you start to juggle which file was sent by whom using which platform?<\/p>\n
It would be nice if everything could be sent as email attachments. Email is familiar and essential to the day-to-day operations of professionals. But, email is limited, specifically email file size limits<\/a> continue to remain low.<\/p>\n It’s not email’s fault though.<\/p>\n Email clients were never designed to send large files<\/a>. Email has \u2014 and always will be \u2014 a communication tool between individuals or groups.<\/p>\n If you’re wondering how to send large files via email, you need to use a third-party service which integrates with your email provider. The good news is, there are plenty solutions out there that make it incredibly easy to email large files.<\/p>\n Below are the top five options to send large files via email<\/strong>. \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”25px” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Table of Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ text_font_size=”18px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_cta title=”Send Gigabytes of Data Over Email” button_url=”https:\/\/app.massive.io\/en\/signup” button_text=”Start for Free” admin_label=”Call To Action” module_class=”starttrial” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h5″ header_font=”||||||||” header_font_size=”27px” header_line_height=”1.3em” background_color=”#202332″ background_color_gradient_start=”#3d72e7″ background_color_gradient_end=”#202332″ background_color_gradient_direction=”206deg” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_use_color_gradient=”on” button_bg_color_gradient_start=”#3d72e7″ button_bg_color_gradient_end=”#53a0fe” button_bg_color_gradient_direction=”293deg” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”50px” button_use_icon=”off” button_custom_padding=”10px|42px|10px|42px|true|true” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/app.massive.io\/en\/signup” border_width_top=”10px” border_color_top=”#3d72e7″ border_color_left=”#3d72e7″ box_shadow_style=”preset2″ box_shadow_horizontal=”-13px” box_shadow_style_button=”preset1″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_custom_padding__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_custom_padding__hover=”|2em|||false|false” button_border_width__hover=”0px”]<\/p>\n Send hundreds of gigabytes directly to email inboxes with MASV.

However, for most platforms, it\u2019s reasonable to expect a limit of between 20 and 25 MB.<\/p>\n I know…not a lot.<\/p>\n Although a \u201cfile size limit exceeded\u201d notification is frustrating, those limits aren\u2019t there to torture you. There are several good reasons for their existence, including security and database\/storage size concerns.<\/p>\n But the biggest reason for email attachment size limits is performance. Most email platforms use Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP<\/a>), which by the way, was developed the same year Eye of the Tiger<\/em> topped the Billboard Hot 100 (1982!). \ud83e\udd4a<\/p>\n Because of this dated technology most email platforms simply aren\u2019t able to transfer large data volumes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a breakdown of the file size limits of some of the world\u2019s most popular email platforms, courtesy of Mailtrap<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n
