Step by step
Drop the file
Open shareurfiles.com/send and drag in the file that's too big for your email.
Copy the link
Click Create link, then copy it.
Paste it into your email
Add the link to the message. Keep the ShareUrFiles page open until the recipient has downloaded.
Email limits
- Gmail: 25 MB of attachments per message. Beyond that, it offers a Google Drive link, which uses your storage space.
- Outlook: about 20 MB per message, depending on the version.
- These limits count all the attachments of a single message together.
Why a link rather than online storage
A Google Drive or OneDrive link keeps a copy of your file in your online space, which eventually fills up. With ShareUrFiles, the file goes straight from your device to the recipient's: it takes no space and isn't stored anywhere.
When the recipient isn't available right away
The transfer happens while you're both online. The link stays valid for 24 hours on Free, 3 days on Basic and 7 days on Pro: the recipient can open it whenever they like during that time, as long as your ShareUrFiles page is open.
