You want to send a file (by mail) to a colleague but the mail server rejects your attempt because the file is too big (usually bigger than 5 – 20 MB)?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here are some tips on how to “send” huge files:<\/p>\n

Use the Polybox sharing<\/strong> feature:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log in to https:\/\/polybox.ethz.ch<\/a> with your ETH Password for Web-Application (AAI\/LDAP)<\/li>\n
  2. Upload the file to the Polybox (if it’s not already there)<\/li>\n
  3. Click on the “Share” symbol next to the filename<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    4.  Go to “Public Links” and hit the button “Create public link”<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    5.  Now you can set a password, a expiration date and enter the mail address of the recipient in the “Send link via email” field and hit the “Save” button, the recipient will get a email. You still have to give him the password if you have set one.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    6. To add additional recipients you can use the “gear” button<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    7. Here you can add a additional email address, the previous password will still be valid<\/p>\n
