Cleaner than forcing a heavy attachment
If the file is too large for the message, a link keeps the email lightweight and avoids repeated attachment failures.
Outlook attachment workaround
Outlook attachment too large? Send the file with a temporary link.
Outlook email threads are not always the right place for large PDFs, video files, exported reports, or ZIP archives. SendUp turns the file into a temporary download link you can paste into the message.
- ✓Upload a file up to 1 GB and share one download URL in Outlook.
- ✓Useful for client documents, reports, videos, ZIP folders, and approval files.
- ✓Use expiry and optional password protection for short-term business handoffs.
