Large File Transfer Services

Imagine that you’re attempting to email someone close to you a video of your wedding, only to be told that the video you’re trying to send is too big to be sent via email. Imagine that the same problem occurs when trying to send it or any other large video or photo set via WhatsApp or Skype.

This is where these services that specialize in large file transfers come into play. Services such as WeTransfer and SendGB.com will ensure that you can send those wedding videos or family photo albums without a hitch.
