Transfers by Email
Although sending files as email attachments might seem to be a logical plan, it’s very slow. Furthermore, remember that many email providers limit your attachment size to 5 or 10 megabytes. Trying to send more than that at once will clog your system.

But for smaller transfer jobs or individual files, sending files as plain old email attachments works just fine.
