How to send 5 GB files online for free
Files this size are too big for email. The usual answer is to upload them once and share a download link.
1. Check the total size
Select the files on your computer and check their combined size. On SendChey a free account holds up to 5 GB at once.
2. Use a stable connection
At 10 Mbps upload speed, 5 GB takes a little over an hour. Plug in power and stop your computer sleeping.
3. Upload and share
Drop the files into SendChey, choose an expiry of up to 3 days, and copy the link. If the upload is interrupted, choose the same file again to resume.
