How to email large files

Monday, October 1st, 2012

Files of more than about 10MB are too big to send via email. Some email systems will even block attachments smaller than that, so how do you send someone a really big file?

There is an answer.

Monash staff have access to a file transfer system called Cloudstor which allows you to send files up to 1.95GB.

The steps to use the system are as follows:

  • Go to the link above
  • Click Logon
  • Choose Monash University from the list of institutions
  • Log in with your authcate
  • Enter the email address of the person you want to send the files to, upload your files and hit send.

The recipient receives an email from Cloudstor with a link to download the file which is active for 20 days.

Help is available on the Cloudstor website.
