Instead of trying to send it via Tb & gmail, if you had instead tried to 
send it via gmail webmail, gmail would have provided you instructions 
for proper transport of large files; not email.

Gmail webmail will 'spoonfeed' you access to google drive:

// Why should I insert using Drive instead of attaching a file?
   Send larger files - When you're attaching files from your computer, 
you can only attach files up to 25 megabytes (MB) in size. By inserting 
files using Drive, you can send a file up to 15 gigabytes (GB). If 
you're paying for a storage plan, you can send a file up to 1TB. //


'Without the cloud' is a bad premise in this case, as you need a method 
which is sufficiently easy/simple for both you and your mom.  Using the 
internet to transfer large files is dead simple.  You park the file 
somewhere and you give someone a link to it.
