#21062 — Without the cloud, how can I send someone a 28MB MP4 video

On my Android phone, I took an MP4 video of birthday party singing, and 
the mom wants the video, and I can't send it through gmail using 
Thunderbird on Linux because of its size.

GMAIL THUNDERBIRD ERROR ON LINUX: 
"The size of the message you are trying to send exceeds the global size 
limit (35882577 bytes) of the server. The message was not sent; reduce 
the message size and try again."

The file is 28-1/2 megabytes (despite what the Gmail message says).

I do not want to set up a cloud account just to send this one file 
(this is the first time in a decade I've needed to "email" something 
large).

On Linux, I tried compressing it to a zip file, but the result was the 
same size.

Is there a way to break the file into smaller pieces on Linux, so that 
the recipient can reassemble it (they're probably on Windows & Android) 
after I email it to them using Thunderbird on Linux with Gmail?

Ideas welcome (but I don't want to set up the cloud for just one file).

There probably is, but is your mother computer literate enough to join 
the pieces on her end?

This sounds to me like a good job for Youtube. Upload the video there 
and send the link to her. You must have a Youtube account, of course.

Consider using the cloud in any case, because this requirement may arise 
again.

For now, why not stick the video on an SD card or memory stick and post it.

At last someone has come up with a sensible "real world" solution!

That sounds about right.

MIME BASE64 encoding bloats the file by about 40% when sent as an
email.

Do as suggested and make the email smaller.

Change the global size limit of your system, or of the server. If it is
gmail that is setting that limit, then of course you much use something
else.

Alternatively transfer the file by some other means ( ftp, rsync,....)

Google for 'file splitter' and find something from a reputable download 
site. Use that the divide the file into pieces that are email-able. Tell 
the recipient how to handle it from there. This has always been a common 
task, especially with USENET binaries, that there are scores of solutions 
freely available.

The OP already has access to Google Drive given that he/she has a gmail 
account. I think your original suggestion is a good (best?) one.
