Q: send huge file via mail

Can you suggest me some way to send huge file (700 MB) to many users, email?!?

I need that recipients can download and open attachment easily with no request to create a new account (e.g. Gmail has this behaviour)

All ISP's have email attachment limits and there is no way to share a file that large.

Apple Mail in Yosemite has MailDrop which allows you to send files up to 5GB. Most recipients will receive a link to download the file. Mac users with Yosemite will get th file directly in their message.

Mail Drop limits - Apple Support

Having said that, it is very unusual to email a 700MB file. There are usually much better ways. What kind of file is this? Video files can be sent via YouTube or Vimeo, etc, for example. You could also use Dropbox which again just emails a link (recipient does not have to have Dropbox account) or WeTransfer.

Use Dropbox for large files, or other like services.
