Using the ShareFile Plugin for Microsoft Outlook, there are numerous options for you when sharing large files, these include:

Copy and paste
You can quickly and simply copy a secure link to any computer file and paste it into the body of an email. This way, your recipient can click the link and instantly access your document.

Convert and shrink
You can set ShareFile to automatically convert any attachments over a certain size to a ShareFile link. Your document will no longer go into the email as a huge file, rather it’ll be a convenient link for the recipient to follow.

Right-click and send
Using the ShareFile Plugin, you can right-click on any file that you want to send and click ‘send to’. Simply select ‘Mail Recipient with ShareFile’ and a new message will open with a link to your file. Easy.

With microsoft outlook, you can add the ShareFile button to your e-mail.  To send a file securely, attached the file, click the ShareFile button and it becomes encrypted, on the recipient end, they receive a link to the file.
