Large files beyond messaging apps
How do you send a file that is too large for a messaging app?
When a messaging app rejects a large file or limits the send, choose the original file in 8ma Quick Transfer. There is no need to split it into smaller parts or create an account.
Open 8ma Quick Transfer, choose the original file, then give the receiver a link, QR code, or 8-character pickup code. Keep both pages open until the transfer finishes.
Send the large file in three steps
- Open 8ma Quick Transfer on a phone or computer and choose the original file.
- Copy the link, show the QR code, or send the 8-character pickup code.
- The receiver opens the link, scans the code, or enters the pickup code and confirms the download.
Does the receiver need an app?
No. The receiver can use a modern browser and does not need to sign into your account or add you as a contact.
How large can the file be?
Desktop Chrome and Edge support individual files up to 100 GB, making the service useful for high-resolution video, design files, project data, and large archives. Actual availability depends on the devices and network.
How can you keep the transfer stable?
Keep both pages open, prevent the devices from sleeping, and use a stable network. The transfer uses the available network bandwidth and shows live speed and time remaining.
