Most email servers have a limited allowable size of attachment (roughly 5-10 MB). This is an issue if your trying to send huge files such as videos and pictures. You can overcome this limitation by using Drop.io and their Outlook plugin. With Drop.io's Outlook plug-in, you can send larger files up to 100MB directly from Outlook. If you need to send larger files than 100MB then you can upgrade to a professional account. Take note that the plugin is still in BETA stage and will definitely work on Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2007.Here is a step-by-step procedure to use the plug-in:
1. Download the Outlook plug-in and install it.
2. Once installation is completed, open your Outlook and create a New Email.
3. You should be able to see a new toolbar button labeled as "Attach Files with drop.io". Click it to add attachments.
4. Hit the Send button to fire out your email.
Your recipient will receive an email that look like this.
The download link will redirect them to a page where they can either view the file online or download it.
For this article, I tested it on Outlook 2007 under Windows 7 machine.
