Although most people have fast internet access nowadays, sending large files and amounts of data remains a problem. This is because free e-mail services such as Outlook.com or Gmail limit the data volume per e-mail sent to a size between 20 and 34 MB, depending on the service. However, videos, high-resolution photos, games, or even the contents of a project folder easily exceed this limit. ZIP compression may reduce the data volume by a few megabytes, but in most cases it does not help. One way out is to divide the ZIP archive into several small parts that do not exceed the limits of the e-mail service, but this is cumbersome and the recipient must have the same tool as the sender to be able to reassemble the files. That’s why it’s more convenient to use online services where you can upload your files and share them with other people. These can be classic cloud storage services such as OneDrive or Dropbox or special transfer services such as Wetransfer, Send Anywhere, or Swisstransfer.
