How do I send files too large for email?

Email attachments are typically limited to 25MB. When you need to send a file that exceeds this limit, you need a file sharing service. EasySend lets you share files up to 1GB for free with no account required. Just drag your file onto the page and you get a shareable link in seconds.

Step-by-Step: Sending Large Files

1. Go to easysend.co in any browser on desktop or mobile.
2. Drag and drop your file onto the upload area, or tap to browse your files.
3. Wait for the upload to complete. Large files use chunked uploads that retry automatically if your connection drops.
4. Copy the share link and send it to your recipient via email, text or chat.

Your recipient clicks the link and downloads the file directly. No app to install, no account to create and no email gate blocking the download.

Why Not Use Google Drive or Dropbox?

Cloud storage services like Google Drive and Dropbox require both the sender and recipient to have accounts. They also store your files indefinitely unless you manually delete them. EasySend takes a different approach: files are available for 3 days by default and then automatically deleted. This is better for privacy and reduces the risk of forgotten files sitting on servers for years.

Sending Multiple Large Files

You can upload multiple files in a single upload session. All files are grouped into one bundle with a single share link. Recipients see all files on one download page and can download them individually or as a ZIP archive. This is useful for sending project deliverables, photo sets or document packages that would be impractical to attach to multiple emails.

Adding Security to Large File Transfers

For sensitive files, EasySend offers two layers of protection:

• Password protection requires recipients to enter a password before viewing or downloading files.
• End-to-end encryption encrypts files in your browser using AES-256-GCM before upload. The server never sees the unencrypted data.

For maximum security, send the link through one channel and the password through another.

Need More Than 1GB?

EasySend Premium supports files up to 10GB for $1.99 per month. Premium also includes permanent storage, custom vanity URLs and download analytics. A one-time 30-day extension costs $0.99 if you just need files to stay available longer for a single transfer.
