How to solve the "my files are too big to email" problem [UPDATED]
How many times have you tried to send an email and got THE error – your file’s exceeding the attachment limit. Let’s be honest, email wasn’t really designed to cope with large files, it was designed to cope with messages. That’s why most email providers, like Gmail and Yahoo, have attachment restrictions. A 370 MB photo collection of your last party weekend is most certainly too large for sharing as an email attachment. Your friends won’t be ecstatic over the 20 emails with vacation videos you sent them. Your clients won’t take you seriously if you spam them with 10 .zip-attached emails that have your work. It’s just not professional, provided you DO want to prove that your work is top notch. So then, what do you do when your files are just too large to share? You send Download links.
What is a Download link? A Download link is man’s best friend… and probably the simplest way to share anything beyond 40 MB over the web. It is a unique link, which you can generate for your files in pCloud and send over as a simple text message. You can use it for basically any type of content that you would like to share:
That 2 GB freelance project you have to send over before noon
The new script for the promotional video you’re shooting today
Those family videos, your grandma’s nagging to see
Download links are convenient because you can create them from your phone, from your laptop, and from the web. And most importantly, you don’t get size restrictions. You can send 200 GB worth of files, as long as you have the space on your pCloud account.
