Want to Send your Friend a 50GB File? It’s Easy Now!
Previously, to share a file among your friends, you used to upload the file to any of the cloud storage provider like Dropbox, Mediafire, Google Drive, Skydrive etc. And then, your friends used to download the file from there. All that is great! Super cool!
But, you might have noticed one thing with these cloud storage providers – they have too many restrictions. Specially, they have restrictions on the size of the file you can upload. In most of the cases, it can be maximum 1 to 2GB and not more than that!
Have you ever shared a 20GB or 50GB file with your friend using any of the cloud storage services? Well, that would have been not possible. You will need to opt for their premium plans to send such large files for which you will be charged.
