Tech Tip: Sending Large Files over Email

Swiss Transfer

When sharing files with students or colleagues, we commonly run into issues with sending files that are too large to be attached to an email. This is especially true when trying to send PowerPoint slides or video lectures. To solve this issue, I use a free website called Swiss Transfer. You simply drag your file onto the webpage and it creates a custom link for others to download the file. Next, copy and paste the link into your email. There is an option to password protect the file and limit the amount of times it can be downloaded.
