Outlook limits the size of files you can send. This limit prevents your computer from continually trying to upload very large attachments that exceed the limits of most Internet service providers. For Internet email account. such as Outlook.com or Gmail, the combined file size limit is 20 megabytes (MB) and for Exchange accounts (business email), the default combined file size limit is 10 MB.

There are many cloud storage services to which you can upload and then share large files. Some popular cloud storage services include OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud, and Google Drive. Once your file is stored in the cloud, you can include a link to the document in your email message.

When you compress, or zip, your file, it decreases its size, and it might decrease it enough to fit within the Outlook size limits for attachments. The following articles describe how to compress and extract files for different Windows operating systems.

I need to upload a file to the Dropbox of another user. I did not have an account, but in the process of trying to do this, I opened one. The other user sent me a link to his Dropbox, but I don't think it was an actual "request" for files-- it says I have the right to edit his folder. I have tried to upload my file from a flash drive to his folder about 15 times. Each time, the screen says the file is "uploading" and there is a bar showing the progress--but then the entire thing disappears and the folder is still empty.

Basically, if they shared a folder with you, you can upload files into it up to the limit of your own space. To send them a file that's larger than your space, just have them send you a File Request instead. You don't need an account to send a file through a request. If they're a Basic user, there's a 2GB limit files sent through a request.

My suggestion is that frustrated users like me simply close their account with Dropbox and use one of the 100 other MORE RELIABLE, LESS KLUNKY, LESS SPAM Marketing barrages. For me, I chose a business class product, which is what I'll use (Citrix Sharefile) and a link to my colleague to come and download the two little Microsoft Office files I have for him/them.

Good luck, Richard. I hope you ultimately get an answer that's simpler than someone who wants to instruct you how to write code to customize and modify Dropbox and spend the next 20 years of your life simply uploading/sharing a file with a Dropbox user.

So my church pays for 9 TB. They have lots of folders and lot of people that take pictures for them. But I can only upload 2 GB (cumulative over years) to THEIR 9 TB Dropbox because I only have 2 GB of storage? That is the worst business model I have seen as a semi-pro photographer.

Sounds like a workaround may be for them to only share a single folder with me (rather than each event I shoot), and they will then have to move the files out of this temporary "transfer" folder, that way I never have more than 2GB of "shared" files on their 9 TB Dropbox?

Or even easier, switch them to a more professional storage option that allows any number of contributors to upload content up to the limit of the storage the church pays for (which would seem like a common sense approach)

Today, video recording quality is improving daily and the size of video files is also increasing. We thus end up with files as large as several Gbs. Luckily TransferNow enables you to share videos of every size.

Once your files are uploaded and your transfer is available for download, your users can preview and stream the videos, audio or other files such as PDF documents. For example, it is very useful before downloading hefty videos.

Facilitate recurring file sending to the same contacts and recipients by adding or importing the contacts from your address book. In this way, you will save time by no longer having to systematically enter your contacts' emails.

With due regard for the proper functioning of our service, we send an email to users that have made a recent or repeated transfer in the two following cases: unavailability of service or major changes in service (important updates, changes in terms of use, limits, etc.).

Your personal data is encrypted in transit using SSL/TLS (https) protocol, as well when at rest, according to the 256 bits advanced encryption norm, and each encryption key is itself encrypted through a set of main keys in regular turnover.

There are limits to the ize of the payload you may pass through Apigee for a single API call. you cannot satisfy that requirement as stated ("we need to upload a big file through Apigee"), if "Big" implies "greater than 10mb payload". Check the documented product limits for more information on this.

Yes. I think you've got it. The idea is that for larger files, you can use Apigee to "broker" the upload. The actual upload does not go through Apigee, but if you have a second system, like Google Cloud storage (GCS), that accepts signed URLs, then you can use Apigee to generate an authenticated time-limited unique URL, that the client app would use to upload its large data. Apigee can generate the signed URL, send it back to the client, then the client can use that URL (pointing to storage.googleapis.com), to upload its large data. Therefore there are at least 2 requests: one from the client to Apigee to request the signed URL, and the 2nd from the client to storage.googleapis.com, to upload the large payload. I say "at least 2" because in the general case, the client may use multiple requests to storage.googleapis.com to upload a very large file. So it is more correct to say "at least 2 requests".
