We keep in touch with our client through email in most cases. Though various chat tools are available nowadays, email still pay an important role during the work. Sometimes, we may need to transfer documents, photos, videos, or other files to the clients for work purpose. However, email like Gmail, Yahoo mail, AOL mail etc. impose the maximum attachment size of 25 MB. There is no way to send files bigger than 25MB via email. Google released Google drive for sending bigger files limited 50MB, but this still not solve the basic problem. Fortunately, here is an easy way to send large files via email without limitation of file size.

Before entering the main topic to describe the detailed steps, I’d like to conclude the key tool we need to use: Jihosoft Big File Sender. It is designed to split big files into smaller pieces and rejoin the split files together to create the original file. You can split the files in specified size or in specified number of chunks to fit for the attachment size limit.
