Google Drive and Gmail are the perfect duo for this. Sending large files (up to 10 GB in size) through Gmail via Google Drive is as easy as uploading the file to your Google Drive account and then sending it as a shared URL. The process is similar, but not exactly the same as sending a regular file attachment in Gmail.

These directions apply to Gmail on computers, phones, and tablets. However, the process looks different on mobile devices, so take note of which set of instructions you're following.

There are other ways to email large files if you don't use Gmail or Google Drive. Cloud storage services and online backup services that support file sharing usually let you send large files. There are also P2P file-sharing techniques that don't have a file size cap.
