Hello,

Thank you

Thank you for your response.
I did look into Dropbox.
It does not appear to offer the free service any longer.

Email is not capable of sending large anything. You'll need to sign up for a cloud service that offers the ability to share files, or folders, on your computer.
Dropbox has been suggested, and is an excellent choice. Dropbox offers 2 gigabytes of cloud space with their free account. Two other suggestions, the Google Gdrive offers 15 gigs free, and the Microsoft OneDrive offers 5 gigs. OneDrive is already installed as native software on Windows 10 and only requires signing up for the free account to use.

Yes! That and Google Drive and MS OneDrive are perfect for giving people access to large files. They have limited free storage, but you have three different services to use.

You could sign up for a free gmail account. Big files get switched to the free Google drive, the receiver gets permission to access just that file on your drive. Simple once you set it up.

The free Dropbox does seem to still be in effect:

Make sure to read the Terms of Service and Privacy Agreements for any of the file sharing or file storage services. Don't just read them - do some research. Some of these services will upload your photos without you even knowing and then they can do what they want to them - even after you have deleted them or closed the account.

As John S suggested, https://www.dropbox.com/basic
But just about any cloud-based service will do what you want it to to - OneDrive, Google Drive, Amazon Cloud (free for Amazon Prime members), iCloud, etc

I believe that it is free up to 2 GB and very easy to use.
