Sharing large PST files for free can be challenging due to the file size limitations imposed by email providers and other file-sharing methods. However, there are a few alternatives you can consider:
Compression and Splitting:
a. Compress the PST file: Use file compression software like 7-Zip or WinRAR to compress the PST file into a smaller size. This will make it easier to share.
b. Split the PST file: Use a PST splitting tool (such as PST Splitter) to divide the large PST file into smaller, more manageable parts. You can then share these smaller PST files individually.
Cloud Storage Services:
Utilize cloud storage services that offer free storage plans with generous file size limits. Some popular options include Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive. Here's how you can share a large PST file using these services:
a. Create an account (if you don't have one) with the desired cloud storage service.
b. Upload the large PST file to your cloud storage account.
c. Generate a shareable link for the file and share it with the intended recipient(s).
d. Depending on the service, you may have options to set access permissions or password-protect the shared link for added security.
File Transfer Services:
Use file transfer services specifically designed for sharing large files. These services often allow you to upload the file to their servers and generate a temporary or shareable link. Some popular file transfer services include WeTransfer, SendSpace, and Filemail.
Local File Sharing:
If you and the recipient are on the same local network, you can directly transfer the large PST file using methods like USB drives, external hard drives, or network file sharing.
