How to Send large files up to 30 GB free (Now are 50 GB!!)

Some recurrent questions:

• How can I send large files for free?
• How can I send a 20 GB file?
• What is the best app to send large files?

If you need to send very large files or folders (e.g. 10 GB) by email, most email providers will not allow you to use your mail service.

You can circumvent this limitation by taking advantage of the service offered by the file sharing service: "FILEMAIL" 

Through this site you must:

• Select the huge files present on your computer and that you have to send, 
• Write your email address and the recipient's address
• Enter a title (subject) and a text for the message. 

Then press enter and start uploading your file to the FILEMAIL servers.

Once the upload has been completed, the website sends an email to the recipient containing one link. The addressee will click to proceed the download of the file.

In essence, the addressee receives only the file link in his mailbox, and has a predefined number of days to download the file.

FILEMAIL offers 4 tariff plans (with different characteristics), one of which is completely free of charge.

• FILEMAIL Free
• FILEMAIL Pro - $10,00/month
• FILEMAIL Business - $12,00/month
• FILEMAIL Enterprise - $40,00/month

Already with the free FILEMAIL plan you have a remarkable service at your disposal:

• Maximum size of annexes: 30 GB 50 GB
• Days of availability on servers: 7 
• Unlimited Downloads
• Tracking of items

In addition, there are software and plugins that can help you to use this service.
There is a specific FILEMAIL APP for Android and iPhone/iPAD devices so you can easily send huge files from smartphones and tablets.

There is a Desktop software native for Windows, Mac, Linux & Unix! So you can send files and folders directly from your desktop or integrate it into your applications. 

Filemail Desktop is a small application you can install on your computer and that have features like:

• Unstable internet connection? No problem with this rock solid transfer protocol!
• Can be used for both uploading and downloading files
• Fast transfer speeds using TCP/UDP Transfer acceleration protocols
• Script/Automation support (command line/xml)
• Free to use - no account/registration required!!

There is a Filemail Outlook Addin that lets you send large files directly from Outlook. The attachments are removed from the email and uploaded to Filemail servers instead - keeping your email small and deliverable. It's fast, secure and very easy to use. It is compatible with Outlook 2013/2016/2019.


Filemail APIs
If you are developer, you can integrate Filemail into your application and use the cloud infrastructure to send large files and emails.
It's easy to automate transfers by using .bat/.sh files.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:

FILEMAIL Free is one of the few services that provides free of charge, such a large space (30 GB 50 GB), usually you get to a maximum of 2 GB. You can also use FILEMAIL Free of charge without having to register an account.

Directly from the FAQs on the site, you can learn that FILEMAIL servers are connected directly to the main networks of Level3, GTT, NTT, Tata, NLayer, AMS-IX, Cogent and many others with BGP4. This means that all file transfers are faster than other cloud services.

There is an other simply way to quickly send files using an EXE program/script. I tried to use the FilemailCLI.exe for Windows (but there is a version also for Linux).

Java 8 error 1603 - update did not complete - How to Resolve?

The Java runtime environment should always be kept updated to the latest version available, both for efficiency and safety. Unfortunately, sometimes the unexpected can happen, and after upgrading to the latest version of the software, the software itself stops working!

If you want to upgrade your JAVA environment, currently you must install the Java 8 update 25. Unfortunately, under certain conditions, it may happen that the installation is not successful and it is shown an Error Code 1603.

Java 8 and 1603 error code after installation 

One reason for this failure is the Bug ID: 8050838 (described in the Java Bug Database) which essentially prevents the correct installation of Java on the computer with Windows Operating Systems (8.0, 8.1) Professional / Enterprise that they are already joined to an Active Directory Domain and are localized in a language other than English (Italian, Russian, German, etc.).

The problem is by installing a version of JAVA including the 1.7 update 55 until the 1.8 update 25 (official) but also in beta until the 1.8 update 39 (unofficial). 

ORACLE has finally solved the problem by correcting the bug from version 1.8 update 40 beta (build 12). The solution is then to use the beta version of the latest Java (available here), which have already fixed the bug.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:

On Windows Pro 8.1 64-bit already joined to an Active Directory Domain I solved the problem by installing the beta Java 8 update 40 (build 20) 64-bit! The error 1603 did not appear and the installation was successful. To further check just type the command "java -version" from the command prompt and check that the data shown are consistent with the version installed. 

For the record, you can also work around the problem by installing the Java version 8 update 25 before joining the computer to the Active Directory domain.
