If you want to share videos, photos or, for example, programs with someone and send them by e-mail, problems may arise. The fact is that most mail servers put a limit on the size of the files sent.

Instructions

Step 1

The most famous postal services in our country are mail.ru, yandex.ru and rambler.ru. All of these sites restrict the ability to transfer large files via email. The mail.ru service limit is 30Mb for one letter, for rambler.ru and yandex.ru it is 20Mb.

Step 2

There are two ways to send a large file by email.

Creation of a multivolume archive. A multivolume archive is an archive that consists of several parts (files) of the same size, while the size of the part can be specified independently when creating the archive. Thus, if you create a multivolume archive with a part size of 20Mb, then it will be possible to send it in several letters using any of the mail services listed above, and then unzip it on another computer.

Step 3

To create a multivolume archive, run the WinRAR archiver program. Click on the "Add" button on the toolbar. In the window that opens, go to the "Files" tab, in the "Files to add" section, click the "Add …" button and select the files you want to put in the archive.

Step 4

Go to the "General" tab, in the "Divide into volumes by size" line, specify the size of the archive parts in bytes, or select this value from the drop-down list. For ease of subsequent data extraction, the archive can be made self-extracting, for this, check the Create SFX archive checkbox. Give it a name if necessary and click OK. Files can now be sent by email.

Step 5

Another way to transfer large amounts of data is to use file-sharing services. As a rule, such services allow you to transfer files of several gigabytes. Some mail services, such as yandex.ru and mail.ru have created their own file hosting services and tied them to mail, so that they can send large files directly by mail.
