Many projects have tried to make it disappear, but traditional email remains unbeaten even though it saturates easily and spam gives no respite. Another limitation of email is the maximum file size we can attach (25 megabytes in Gmail, unless you use Drive). There is a very simple way to get around that obstacle: use pCloud Transfer, a service that can send large files by email with a cap of 5 gigabytes to ten different addresses.
If you have been online in the last few hours, you have probably come across the news that Google decided to shut down its Inbox service. Announced originally in October 2014, Inbox promised a whole new way of managing email, accompanied by an updated interface. What happened? Google integrated Inbox's most interesting aspects into Gmail and confirmed the service will cease to exist in March 2019. Another victory for classic email, beyond its natural limitations. By far, one of the issues that causes the most irritation among users is the maximum attachment size. Depending on the provider, some services allow going beyond the typical barriers, but if you are wondering how to send large files by email without making compromises, then you might want to study pCloud Transfer more closely.
How to Send Large Files by Email with pCloud Transfer
Although there is no Spanish-language support, pCloud Transfer is a very intuitive and easy-to-use service. All we have to do is enter one email address as the sending address and the addresses that will receive the file (a maximum of 10). The pCloud Transfer limit is 5 gigabytes, more than enough for the vast majority of cases. The service also enables file encryption with the help of a password, but personally I prefer to compress the data into ZIP, RAR or 7z files and set the password on them. Of course, recipients will need that password, so do not forget to share it using a secure medium.
The only weak point we have found has nothing to do with pCloud Transfer. The upload process simply took too long because our connectivity provider stinks and currently offers barely 1.1 megabits of upload. In other words, you will need a lot of patience if you plan to share the maximum of 5 gigabytes over a similar connection. Other than that, pCloud Transfer works very well.
