How to get around a maximum email size limit.

Email is not the correct format for files that size. Host them on an external tool like a webserver or ftp server. On Sep 12, 2016 6:32 PM, "Michael" wrote: > I wrote this email to my email provider and would like to implore the > PLUG's brain-trust if they know of a way to do this incase my pro

The whole video will fit on an sd card and that will fit in an envelope. Stick it in the mail and three days later they'll have it. On Mon, Sep 12, 2016 at 10:44 PM, Anon Anon wrote: > $2.99 for 50gb of storage on scale ways per month. Seems easy to me...? > > On Sep 12, 2016 7:22 PM, "David Sch

My wife does photography and puts her files on Dropbox and then shares the folder with the client to download, makes CDs/DVDs on request, and if the client pays extra has them printed in a variety of ways for them. Dropbox and similar services run about $10/month; no huge emails just a link to the

I will second this. Email is the wrong medium for large file transfer. Google drive, hosted website, or a similar service is the correct way to go.
