Send up to 5GB Email attachments with AOL’s Xdrive

There are many sites where you can upload large files to share with your friends, but there are none to send large files as email attachments. AOL is trying to change this, with AOL’s Xdrive now you can upload up to 5GB file attachments with your email.

You can send any file through this way, all you have to do is select upload to my Xdrive when composing the email message. Any file longer than 16MB will automatically sent via Xdrive. Your email recipients recieve links to the file in the message. Although it looks easy there are some workarounds, like for some file types Xdrive strips the names and file extensions and adds random strings, your recipients has to add file extensions before opening these files. This looks tricky for inexperienced users hopefully AOL will fix this in the future. This is definitely a good way to send large files through email.
