Email attachment limits are small and often counted in total, not per file; Gmail, for instance, caps a message at roughly 25 MB of attachments as of November 2026 and offers a Drive link above that. Chat apps are stricter still: Discord reduced and then raised its free cap, and WhatsApp treats photos and videos very differently from documents. Each service changes its numbers from time to time, so check the current figure before you rely on it.
Instead of fighting each of those limits, upload the file to FileHost.net once and send the link. The link works the same in an email, a chat window or a printed QR code, and the recipient downloads the original rather than a squashed copy.
On a free account the largest single file is 5 GB. On premium it is 20 GB, which is plenty for a feature-length 4K master or a raw multi-camera shoot. There is no separate limit on how many files you may send, and the plans page shows no storage cap. The only other rule is that the file must be something you are allowed to share.
Practical points when the file runs to gigabytes.
Single files up to 5 GB are accepted on free accounts and up to 20 GB on premium.
Recipients can fetch the file as uploaded, so footage, designs and audio keep their quality.
Paste a link and the server pulls the file in from supported hosts, using its bandwidth instead of yours.
Push very large files with an FTP client that can resume after a dropped connection.
Premium accounts get priority upload and encoding, plus maximum download speed.
Premium files never expire for inactivity, so an archived delivery is still there next year.
Figures as of November 2026. They change, so treat them as a guide and check the service itself.
| Channel | Practical limit | With a FileHost.net link |
|---|---|---|
| Gmail attachment | About 25 MB total per message | Send a link to files up to 5 or 20 GB |
| Discord upload, free account | 20 MB per file since August 2026 | Paste a link that streams the whole video |
| WhatsApp as document | Up to 2 GB | Send a 20 GB file by link instead |
| WhatsApp as video | Lower, recompressed | The recipient gets the original |
| This site, free account | 5 GB per file | Upload once, share many times |
| This site, premium | 20 GB per file | Large masters and raw footage |
Compress when you can afford to. Many phone and screen recordings are far bigger than they need to be, and a modern encode at the same resolution can be a fraction of the size with no visible difference. Convert audio-only content with the video to MP3 tool so a podcast does not travel as a video.
Prefer wired internet and keep the machine awake. Browsers pause long uploads when a laptop sleeps. If the upload fails near the end, an FTP client that resumes is a better bet, and the remote upload route avoids your own upload bandwidth completely when the file already lives on another host.
If every file you send is under 5 GB, premium buys you speed and permanence rather than capacity. If you regularly deliver masters, game captures or multi-hour recordings that exceed 5 GB, premium is the plan that makes it possible, starting at 7.99 dollars a month or 77.99 dollars a year. Payment can come from your earnings balance or from cryptocurrency, so creators who earn on the platform can fund it without a card.
Send-anywhere services each draw the line in a different place. These pages lay out the differences.
Stop splitting archives and begging chat apps for more room. Upload the file once and send one link.
