For transfer online of files which sizes do not keep within limits of mail services it is possible to use services of filesharing. Restrictions of the sizes of the files stored on their servers seldom happen less than hundred megabytes, and in certain cases reach several gigabytes. Such way of file transfer has also additional benefits, for example, an opportunity for a long time to distribute it to a large number of addressees without the need for repeated loading.

Instruction

1. Pick up the service having the conditions which are the most suitable for your needs. The basic rules to which it is worth paying attention - the extreme size of files, term of their storage and the set access restrictions to downloading. The storage life, depending on the selected service, can be of several weeks (iFolder) indefinitely (Rapidshare). However in conditions there are also essential reservations - for example, Rapidshare will delete the file if the number of downloads becomes equal to zero for a certain period. While iFolder has an option of extension of rather short retention period. As for access restrictions - pay attention that the majority of file hosting services limits the number of files which one user can download during the certain time frame. Also downloading speed limit practices. All these obstacles, as a rule, are pushed aside if the user pays a certain period of unlimited access to service.

2. Pass to the website of the service of filesharing selected by you and fill fields of a form of loading of the file on the server. For example, on multiupload.com service at first click the button with the inscription Browse and select the necessary file on your computer. It is possible to enter the text of the description which will be placed on the page of unloading of the file in the File description field. At the very bottom of a form there are two data entry fields of the email addresses - you can specify in ""From e-mail"" the address, and in ""To e-mail"" the address of the person to which the service itself will send the link to the file loaded by you. The Multiupload service has an essential feature - it can place the file on eight different file hosting services, having given you the reference to one page of downloading with the choice from eight addresses of storage. The recipient of the file can select that which to it are more convenient for using. In a web form all are by default selected 8, remove marks at those exchangers which are not necessary to you.

3. Click the beginning of loading process when the form is filled. On Multiupload service the corresponding button has the inscription Upload, and upon termination of loading process it submits the plate with a file name, its amount and the link to the page of downloading. You can transfer this link to the addressee in any way - to send by mail, online - the messenger, the SMS message, etc. You can also place the reference at different web forums, blogs and other network resources.
