How to Send or Share Files using Google Drive

If you're trying to send a group of files, or a large file, email is no good. Many people are left asking how to email large files. The answer to the question is that you should use a cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox. The two major cloud storage services that we recommend are Dropbox and Google Drive. Google Drive is free with Gmail, and you can get increased storage limits with the $5/month G-Suite or the $10/month Business plan.
