10 Best Ways To Share Large Files Online For Free

Although there are several ways to transfer large files online in the era of cloud technology, there are still several limitations in sharing large files. Today in this article we will try to present information about the top 10 large file-sharing providers over the internet, with which you can easily share large files for free. However, there still exist some restrictions to the free service, but that limit may be more compared to the standard procedure of transferring files.

For your information, if we try to share any file as a Gmail attachment, Gmail allows a maximum of 25 MB file size to be transferred as an attachment. And for bigger file sizes you need to upload the file to Google Drive and share the link with the person you want to send the file. But in such a scenario, it will occupy your Google drive space. And if your Google Drive is already occupied, then it’s a bit difficult for you.

Thus without wasting much of our time, let’s find out which providers permit us to share large files over the internet directly and what their limitations are in the case of free usage.

Top 10 ways to share large files over the internet for free

1. FilestoFriends

This application was developed by 2 people, who use to face problems sending or sharing large files over the internet. The available providers then used to charge a large premium amount for transferring a large file over a certain size. Thus they planned to develop an application that will let everyone share large files up to 1GB for free. However, over time, the file sizes are increasing, thus the developer or the owner of this application may have increased the quota of its free usage. But, if your requirement is more, then you have a choice for plus membership, which lets you enjoy more privileges and features.
