How can I send a file to a friend on Hotmail?

My powerpoint is too big for an attachment, how should i send it? file sharing? youtube?

  • hi! i am not too good with computers.i made a powerpoint presentation for a friend, but it is 20 MB big so i can't attach it via Hotmail. I had an idea of putting it on a file sharing site for her, then i had another idea to convert the powerpoint into a video (if that's possible, ie. make each slide a picture first etc.). what are your suggestions? what is the best file sharing site, or the best way to send her the powerpoint? and,i won't go through with the youtube idea but i am just curious whether it is possible or not and how would i go about doing it? thank you

    Hi there, based on past questions like this, you'll soon get a ton of semi-spam, yet useful, answers explaining how to turn your powerpoint into a video. Meanwhile, if you just want to send the file, check out www.yousendit.com For free, you can send one file up to 100Mb. I think you need to register, but I've been using them for years and I only see an email from them every few months at most. You put in your recipients email address and upload the file. The recipient gets an email with a link they click that gives them the download. The link is good for a week. They have a paid service for sending multiple files or files bigger than 100Mb, but you wouldn't need that. You can always get around the multiple file thing by zipping files together, too.
