How to transfer big files on internet..?


How to transfer big files on internet

There are two ways to transfer big files on internet

1.       Via email
2.       Via upload the file over online storage websites


a.       Generally people use Gmail or yahoo mail for their routine task on internet. But when it comes to sharing large files Gmail allows sharing only the size up to 25 mb. By normaly using your email accounts you can send up to 50 mb file by hotmail. But by splitting option in hotmail you can send data up to 10 GB.

There is an option of split on hotmail which splits your files, which are more than 50 mb and creates a separate mail message for every split. The drawback is just one that the recipient should also have hotmail account to receive the files.

b.      Other option is Drop box. For sending big files through drop box you need to download drop box utility on the supported applications with windows, Linux or Mac. By doing download you can store file size up to 2 gb. But some of us don’t want to download in that case free limit is 300 mb only.
c.       Sky drive is the option to share largest files. First know what is skydrive. Skydrive is the part of windows live family. By sky drive selection you can upload up to 25gb of free storage online. If you want to upload a large file split it in to the maximum individual chunk limit which is 50 mb. Split them and upload it on skydrive and zip folder conversion is another best option for slow connections.
