10MB File Size Max in Emails

[Marky]

Hey all,

We have to send manuals out to our completed projects at work, and many have recently asked for them in digital format (PDFs etc.).

All the manuals usually total up to around 20MB - However, in one of our recent projects one PDF is 15MB in size.

The company we have to send to have said that the email address we have been asked to send the files to has a maximum 10MB limit in file size...

I thought that it was crazy for such a small limit and slightly unprofessional... Does anyone have any expertise in this level? Is this the norm in big companies? And how would you get round this? I have said we will have to put the manuals onto a disc and send it via post - It just seems ridiculous that we are this technologically advanced, but can't send a small 20MB file over email...

Having to do this feels like sending a letter via carrier pigeon

I have thought about this - but we don't have access to our web server (Another IT firm deal with it). So it would have to be a free file sharing site which will get the client all confused when it comes to the 60 second wait etc.

Apparently, we are just dividing it into three different chunks and sending them through email...

I did suggest the Dropbox idea but they said it had already been done

If it's that much of a hassle I could provide some space on mine for you?

Thanks for the offer anyway bud
