Sending small files, like photos, is easy. Mainly it is because applications like WhatsApp compress the files before sending them, which does not happen if we want to send a video. For this reason, this time we will talk about various methods to send videos or other files of similar weights.
WeTransfer: the solution to send a video that weighs a lot
One of the most popular services for sending large files is WeTransfer. Using it is so easy How to go to your website, upload the file and write the emails of those who we want to receive the file. The free version allows you to send files that weigh up to 2GB.
Send Anywhere
The only drawback of this application, which is also one of the most reliable on the market, is that the file must not exceed 10GB. It has a high level of security, since all the files sent are encrypted, and the receiver will have to confirm them by inserting a code that is unique and personalized for each shipment.

How can we send a video through the cloud
If we need to send a video, but we don’t want to use third-party tools, we can use the cloud. It is one of the best ways to send a video to the number of contacts we want, no matter how heavy it is.
To talk about the cloud we need to recognize what services we can count on. We have apps like Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages, which can be the subject of another article, because on this occasion what matters to us is knowing that they all work in a similar way: we must create an account with these services, and once it is done, we will load the file we want to share and send a link so our recipients can open it whenever they want.
They all work the same though. there are things we should keep in mind. Google Drive, for example, only allows you to upload up to 15GB of files in its free version. If we want more, we must pay the subscription.
Send a video without apps
