    I have a rather large Video (MP4) file at 842 MB which I need to email. However gmail says it is too large. How do you compress MP4 files small enough to email.

    Thanks

    I think MP4 is already compressed.

    Can you not use Google Drive?

    Edit: PS never email files that size. You'll clog up the recipients mailbox.

    Dropbox or WeTransfer maybe?

    Would WinZip help? I believe you can install and use it free for a trial period. The recipient would need to have it too, in order to unzip the file.

    It wouldn't help in this case.

    WeTransfer works a treat. Many thanks for your help.
