How to Send a video that is Too Large on Android?

Some of you must use email as a way to send files, whether it’s just a document or a photo.

However, what if you want to send audio or video-based files that are too large? (for example more than 30 MB).

What is certain is that Gmail services can’t be used to send videos that are too large. Google itself provides a size limit of only 20 MB.

Then what is the solution if you want to send videos (or other types of files) that are too large? This is a solution that you can use.

Send a Video that is Too Large with Google Drive (Online)

Google Drive is a storage service owned by Google which was launched on April 24, 2012. As one of Google’s superior services, Google Drive has functions that you can use, especially for sending videos. Of course, Google Drive isn’t the only cloud storage service. Out there, people also know some other cloud storage, one of which is DropBox.

What are the advantages that Google Drive has so that it can shift other cloud storage?

One of the advantages that are favoured is that Google Drive services provide 15 GB of online storage space. That way, you can save any photos, stories, designs, videos on Google Drive.

If 15 GB is considered less, then you can add it by purchasing a larger storage package.

However, this 15 GB capacity is vast compared to other storage clouds. Dropbox, for example, only provides 2 GB of free storage; then Microsoft OneDrive only offers 7 GB.

Wait a minute, and Google Drive is the provider of storage space. Then how do you send a video with it?

Quite easy.

You only need to store videos that are too large in the Google Drive storage space. Then you only need to share the video to the public or to the specific contact you want.

So, how to send a video that is too large on android with google drive? Follow the steps below:

  • Open the Google Drive application on your Android smartphone.
  • Please enter the folder on Google Drive where you want to upload the desired video.
