In this instruction you will learn how to send any video by mail, even large and heavy ones. Gmail is one of the most popular email services, so we chose its interface as an example. You can use any email services in the same way, for example, Yandex, Rambler, Mail.ru and others.
How to send a video by mail
Sign in or sign up for Gmail
If you are already registered with Gmail, enter your username and password to log in to your mail. If you don't have a Google account yet, just follow this link.

- Reduce the size of your video. Try compressing videos for email using Movavi Video Converter and our detailed instructions for reducing the size of video files.

Often required transfer large files to another person, which weigh quite a lot, several gigabytes, and even more. How to do this quickly, easily and without registration?
Typically, file hosting services are used for this purpose, for example, Yandex Disk, , or Google Drive .
Sometimes files are sent directly by mail, or via Skype. This is also an option, although you cannot send large files by mail - mail services impose restrictions on the weight of attached files.
So. in Gmail the possible weight of attached files is a maximum of 20 MB, in Yandex - 10 MB, in Mail.ru - 5 MB.
You can send large files via Skype, but both users must be on Skype during the transfer - then the transfer will proceed. If someone is missing, the transfer process is interrupted and resumes only when both users appear on Skype.
In addition, such a transfer loads computer resources and takes up a lot of Internet traffic. And if you have a weak Internet, it can slow down significantly.
And the speed of file transfer via Skype is not very high. In order for files to be transferred quickly, you need good Internet for both you and your friend who is receiving or transmitting files.
For small files this option is quite simple and convenient, but if the files are large, it is better to use . At least, you can upload a file, give another person a link, and then he can easily download it for himself, and does not depend on you and your presence on the network. And you are not attached to him.
In addition, the amount of memory that file hosting services provide is also not unlimited. Yandex Disk provides 3 GB, Google Drive provides 15 GB, but requires downloading and installing the program.
There is another option that is best suited if you do not intend to store your file on an online service for a long time, but only want to transfer it to another person, or other people.
This option is using the service DropMeFiles. To begin with, if you have not one file, but many, so as not to send a bunch of files, but make do with one archive. In addition, archiving will reduce the weight of files, which means it will speed up their uploading to the service and subsequent downloading to your computer.
I’m often asked: “How to send a file by email?” or vice versa, I ask someone to send me this or that file, and the person I ask has no idea how to do it...
Therefore, I decided to write this guide.
First, let's prepare a file that we will send by mail.
To do this, the file can be sent unpacked, i.e. as is, just attach the file to the letter, as an attachment, or packed in an archive...
If our file is small, then it can be sent without "Archiving", i.e. without compression...
If the file is large, it is better to pack it in "Archive", thanks to this, the file can become much smaller, which will speed up the transfer significantly.
Also, it must be said that today, some mail services do not allow sending executable files and many program library files. In the case of Windows, the executable file is .EXE - i.e. file-program, and .DLL - file-libraries(libraries can be not only dll files, but I won’t list them all)
.
This approach of mail services is understandable, this is due to the fact that when transmitting such files, the latter can simply turn out to be viruses, Trojans and various similar nastiness... Therefore, mail servers, in order to avoid problems during the transmission of a letter, simply cut off the attached files that they consider it suspicious. This also applies to script files and files containing sets of commands, such as .BAT and .CMD...
Therefore, such files should be packed into an archive, and not just packed, but packed and protected with a password!
And also, a few words about packaging and archiving of files... Picture files, such as .JPG, .PNG, are almost not compressed during archiving, they can be packed into an archive only if you want to send a lot of files in a letter, and adding them all one by one is very “tedious”... Text files, on the contrary, are compressed very much when packed into an archive; it happens that after compression, the archive has approximately 30% of the original file size. In this case, it is better, of course, to pack the files, because... the size will decrease significantly.
This means that we have found out that packing files into an archive, i.e. should be archived:
— If we want to transfer many files, after packaging, we will need to add only one file, and not 20 or 30 for example...
- If we want to transfer text files, because... when packaging, the size is significantly reduced, and naturally, if we have a lot of these files, then it is much easier to add one file to the letter...
— If we want to transfer a program file, etc. — the file(s) need to be archived so that the mail server does not cut them off...
Also, we know that images like .JPG, .PNG should be archived only if we want to transfer several files, because these files almost do not lose size when packed...
Now let's talk about everything in order...
How to archive files: For example, I have prepared several text files that have a total size of 3.73 megabytes. To pack files into an archive, we must have an archiver installed. Today the most common archiver is
WinRar http://www.rarlab.com/) one minus of this program is that it is paid.(official website of the program: http://www.7-zip.org/) this archiver is free, but less common.
Also, today, almost all operating systems support .ZIP archive files - this means that if you send a person a ZIP archive, he will simply be able to open it.
Now let's add the files to the archive. To do this, select the required group of files:
Click on them with the second (right) mouse button and select "Add to archive" (if you have some other archiver installed, the name of the menu item may differ).
The Add files to archive window will open:
In which we need to configure some parameters:
1 — Set the file name (to transfer files over the Internet, it is better to set names in Latin letters to avoid problems with encodings, etc.)
2 — Select the archive type (we already talked about this)
3 - Set the compression level (the stronger the compression, the smaller our archive file will be)
4 - Press the button OK to create an archive.
Here is the dialog of the archiver program http://www.rarlab.com/) one minus of this program is that it is paid.:
As you can see in the picture, almost everything is the same, well, yes, they are called a little differently, but in principle, it’s easy to understand...
After packaging, we now have an archive file that is only 31.6 kilobytes in size, down from 3.73 megabytes!
For example, I have prepared several text files that have a total size of 3.73 megabytes.— To create a password-protected archive, in the archive creation window, go to the tab "Additionally" and press the button "Set password".
A password setting dialog will open:
In which both fields should be filled in, i.e. password field and password confirmation field and click the button OK.
http://www.rarlab.com/) one minus of this program is that it is paid.— To create a password-protected archive, in the archive creation window, fill in two fields, naturally the password and password confirmation:
After that, we carry out all the related settings, as described above.
Well, that's it, we've sorted out the packaging, let's now move on directly to sending the file by mail...
Adding a file to a letter.
Now, we need to figure out some things... In what way do we use mail - through some mail program or through web interface, i.e. by going through a browser to the mail server website, enter your data there, etc. (a browser is a program that you use to view Internet sites)
If you use Web Interface, then go to your mail account...
Create a new letter. (I will show as an example how this is done on servers google, mail.ru And yandex)
And after you write the text of the letter, if of course you need it, click:
Link "Attach file"- V google
button "Attach file"- V mail.ru
button "Attach file"- V yandex
After which, you will see a file selection dialog:
In which you need: - specify the path to the file, i.e. go to the folder in which you store files for transfer, or in which you created the archive. Select the desired file and click on the button Open.
After which, the file will be uploaded to the mail server and added to the letter:
If you need to add any more files, then click on the “Attach file” button or link again, and actually do everything that was described above...
Actually, that’s all, after creating a letter and adding an attached file, click on the send button and send the letter...
Now let's look at how to do all this through email programs. For example, I will talk about the two most common email programs, these are The Bat! And Microsoft Outlook.
First about Microsoft Outlook.
As in the case of the Web Interface, create a new letter, enter the addressee, subject, text of the letter...
Attach file
(in older versions this button is located in a different location)
In the same way, you can add several more files if necessary...
Now about "The Bat!"
As in all previous cases, we create a new letter, enter the addressee, subject, text of the letter...
To add a file, click the button Attach file
After which we will have an attachment file:
In the same way, you can add several more files if necessary...
That's it, to send the letter, click the send button...
Using this guide, you will be able to send files through most Mail Servers, using their Web Interface and Most Mail Programs... Because. almost everywhere, these functions are very similar, almost always, named the same and located in the expected places.
P.S.
In many email programs, at the time of creating a letter, you can add attachments by simply dragging the files into the editing window of the new letter. (as from folder to folder).
The need to transfer a file to colleagues, acquaintances and friends arises almost every day for every computer user. It’s good if your colleague is on a local network, in which case you can copy files from one computer to another without using the Internet. But if a friend is far away, then it is convenient to use e-mail, because you can attach any files to letters: documents, photographs, programs and even small videos.
Of course, you can transfer a file to a friend directly via Skype or Mail.Agent, but this is convenient when the partner is online, and if he is not, then email is still more reliable (and more likely to be available at the workplace).
In Russia, the leaders among services offering free email services are the portals Mail.ru, Rambler.ru, and search engines Yandex.ru and Google.ru. On each of these sites you can get a fairly large mailbox, and each of these services provides the ability to attach files to written emails.
We will consider the procedure for attaching files to a letter in detail below using the mail.ru website as an example, but on other portals it is absolutely identical.
Attaching a file to a letter on mail.ru
Attaching files to a letter on Yandex, Rambler and Google
As on mail.ru, in the form of a new letter from the mail services of Yandex, Rambler and Google (gmail) there are buttons for attaching files. Only their location and appearance differ.
File attachment button on Yandex mail
File attachment button on Rambler mail
File attachment button on Google mail
The difference between file attachment and Mail attachment is the size of the attached data. Rambler allows you to add files to an email up to 20 MB, Google - up to 25 MB. Yandex attaches files up to 30 MB, but just like Mail, it has the ability to upload larger files to the Narod.Disk service and provides the recipient of the letter with a link to download the file.
If your colleague or friend has a mailbox not located on the sites listed above, then it would be good to first find out how much stored information it can support, since previously users were allocated 5 or 10 MB for mail, and your large letter with attached files will not be accepted. In this case, write a letter without attachments and upload files to files.mail.ru and narod.yandex.ru.
