Historically, sharing large files has been a challenge, but technology has made this process much easier. Here are some simple ways to share large files with your team. ## How to Share Large Files via Google Drive To share a file through Google Drive, it first needs to be uploaded. If your file isn’t already in Google Drive, follow these steps: - Go to Google Drive. - Click **New**, then choose either **File upload** or **Folder upload.** - Select the file or folder you want to share. - You can also drag and drop files directly into a folder in Google Drive. Once uploaded, **right-click the file**, choose **Share**, and then click **Copy link**. You can paste this link into an email or message to share it with your team. ## How to Share Large Files via Microsoft OneDrive Similar to Google Drive, files must be uploaded to Microsoft OneDrive before sharing. Here's how: - Log in to Office.com and find OneDrive in the app launcher. - Click **Add new** and select the file or folder you want to upload. - Click **Upload**. To share the file, select it by clicking the circle icon next to it, then click **Share** at the top of the screen. A window will open with the option to **Copy link**. Once copied, you can share the link via email or message.
