The size of a mail attachment is known to be very limited. All the more important are tools such as WeTransfer , which not only allow larger files to be sent, but can also be used free of charge. But it doesn't always have to be WeTransfer, because in order to remain free, only data volumes up to a size of 2 GB are allowed here. In addition, there is no way to protect your upload with a password or something similar. In this article we have put together a few alternatives for you .
Wikisend
The data exchange tool Wikisend comes with extras such as password protection for your uploads or the option of individually setting the validity of your upload. You can make your file available for download for up to 90 days . However, if a validity of up to 7 days is sufficient for you, these downloads will be given priority and given a higher download speed. To use Wikisend, simply go to the website in your browser. However, there is also a disadvantage compared to Wetransfer: Your data upload is limited to a size of 100 MB . Wikisend is therefore only recommended for individual or smaller files..
sendanywhere
In comparison to Wikisend, sendanywhere is not only available in the browser, but also as a separate application for Mac, Windows, Android and iOS. Here, too, there is the option of sending this as a " code " to protect your data . This means that the recipient of your code can download the file using a 6-digit number or a QR code . With this protected variant, please note that the code is only valid for 10 minutes. If the recipient fails to download the file during this time, it will have to be uploaded again. If you want to share the file with several people, you can use a " share link." This is then available for 48 hours. In the browser you have the option of uploading data up to a total size of 1 GB . If you have installed sendanywhere as your own application or the Chrome plug- in, there are no longer any upload restrictions.
Terashare
For very large files , Terashare is perfect . Here you can share files and file packages of unlimited size . To do this, the data exchange service works in two different ways. Files up to 10 GB in size are stored on the Terashare servers and are then available as a link for download . Files larger than 10 GB remain on your computer and can be downloaded from there as long as your computer is in operation is. To do this, however, you must first install Terashare on your computer. The offer remains free both online and as a separate application on your computer..
