So, what does a legitimate mail attachment mean? When you decide to send the file, more than 10-30 mb, the mail service will issue a warning - the mail attachment does not meet the restrictions. Keep in mind, each service has its own restrictions on attachments, for example, "Mail.ru" allows sending emails up to 30 mb, "Yandex.ru" - 20 mb, and some services only up to 10 mb. So, when sending a file to mailbox  another service, it may not reach the addressee, even if your service has informed of the successful sending of data.

Solve the problem with the help of file sharing. You can download your file without registering on files.mail.ru, meqaupload.com, openfile.ru, zshare.net. Management of all services is quite understandable, despite the English-language interface. Download data in the volume from 100 to 500 mb.

The mechanism of file sharing is the following: first you upload your file to the server, then you get a link to the file that you need to forward, and then send it in a letter. The recipient downloads the file by clicking on the link. Keep in mind, some filehosts store information for a limited time, after which the link becomes invalid.

If the attachment you want to send does not exceed the maximum allowed quotas, archive it. Use WinRAR, but first, install it on your computer. To put a file in the archive, right-click on it, in the context menu  select the line "Add to archive and send by e-mail". You can select "Add to archive", then, in the opened menu, select a name, or leave the previous one, archive format, compression method, archive parameters. The Browse button allows you to save the file anywhere on the computer.

If you do not want to trust important information to the server, use direct file transfer. The process is as follows: the prepared file is downloaded by reference, but not from a file sharing service, but from your computer. While sending data, do not close the browser window, the recipient will be able to download the file only if you are connected to the Internet yourself. This method requires the installation of a special program. Pay attention to Utorrent.

If you constantly communicate with the recipient, use the free windows service  Live. The store is password protected, it allows you to exchange data via the Internet. Store the files in shared network folders. The recipient will still be able to access the link. To view the data, find the "Links" group on the computer, then go to the "Insert" tab and find the "Hyperlink" button.

The easiest and fastest way to send files larger than 50-100 GB via the Internet. With the help of mail, we can send files no more than 20 mb, but sometimes it's not enough for us. And sending large files over the Internet, for many is an impossible or difficult task. There are many file servers on the Internet, for which you can download large files, for example, DropBox, MediaFire, Yandex disk, etc. Every time you want to send someone a file, you need to upload it to the server, and then send a download link.

In addition, many cloud services  have restrictions on downloading files up to 2 Gb, and for storage up to 20GB. And not every person, wants to upload their personal files, important documents to a third-party server. The best way to transfer a large file is to send it directly from computer to computer, from phone to PC, or from computer to phone.

How to send a large file over the Internet

There are many ways to transfer a file through the Internet, you can upload it to a file server, you can transfer it through peer-to-peer networks, as well as sending files is available via Skype and TeamViewer. All presented options deserve respect, and they definitely have their advantages. But there are also disadvantages. To describe the minuses of each method does not make sense, for this you will need to write a separate article. I'll tell you in general.

Typically, all file servers have restrictions on file downloads, for example, you can not download a file more than 2 GB, download speed often does not exceed 200-300 KB. The people you send the download link to will have to pay money for the premium account to download the file at a good speed, otherwise the speed will be limited to 100-200 kb. Sending via Skype or TeamViewer also can not please the transfer speed. A peer-to-peer network, requires additional skills, and knowledge to grammatically transfer files.

That's why I decided to tell you about such a wonderful program as zeZebra. Which allows you to transfer files of any size via the Internet directly.

Transfer a large file over the Internet?

Firstly, you can send files of any size for free. Secondly, file transfer in this way is absolutely safe. In addition, this program is cross-platform, which means that you can use it on many operating systems, such as: Windows, Mac, Android, iOS. You can transfer any types of files, be it music, documents, videos, photos, etc.

The interface of the program is very simple, and even the most novice user can easily understand the installation and management. If you send a document that is extremely important to you, for example, a business plan, a file with passwords, bank keys, then you can not worry that the files will get to third parties, because your connection is encrypted right during the transfer and you can not access your files. Also, it is worth noting that all the files that you transmit are stored only on your computer and nowhere else.

How to use zeZebra?

After you download and install the program, it will ask you to enter your name and email address. Then, just click on the blue "Share Files" button and select the file you want to send. The zeZebra application also supports Drag & Drop, which means that you can drag and drop the files directly into the program window. And that's not all, you can also right-click on the desired file and select "Share with zeZebra".

Once you have done everything, the program will generate a special link (without uploading files to the Internet), you will send this link to a friend, and it will start downloading this file directly from your computer. However, please note that your friends should also have the zeZebra program installed to receive the files you send. The program itself weighs only 8 MB, I think it will not be a problem for anyone to download it and install it.

Remember that you (the sender) and your friends (recipients) must be online while sending and transferring files. If you suddenly turned off the light, or someone stopped working on the Internet, do not worry, the program has the function "Pumping", i.e. she will continue to send from the place where she left off.


You can use zeZebra to transfer files from iPhone to your computer and back. You can also do this with Android phones.
