# How to Send Video Files to Clients (Without the Headache)

Sending video files by email almost never works. Gmail caps out at 25MB. Outlook at 20MB. Meanwhile, even a short 1080p video can easily hit 500MB — and a 4K project file? Forget it.

So you end up compressing, zipping, splitting files, or wrestling with WeTransfer links that expire before your client checks their inbox. There's a better way.

## Why Sending Videos Is Still So Painful

Most file-sharing tools weren't built for large media. They either:

- **Compress your files** — destroying quality your client is paying for
- **Require accounts** — adding friction for clients who just want to download
- **Expire too quickly** — links die before your client gets around to it
- **Have tiny limits** — 2GB caps that don't work for real video work

If you're a videographer, editor, or agency sending deliverables to clients, you need something that just works.

## Send Videos Up to 10GB with GoodSend

[GoodSend](https://goodsign.io/goodsend) lets you send large video files directly to a client's inbox — no compression, no account needed on their end.

Here's how it works:

1. **Drop your files in** — drag and drop up to 20 files (10GB total). MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, whatever format you're working in.
2. **Add your client's email** — enter their name and email, add a message if you want.
3. **Hit send** — they get a secure download link. Done.

No subscriptions. Each send costs $1.50. That's it.

## Know When Your Client Gets the Files

One of the most frustrating parts of sending deliverables? Not knowing if the client actually received them. GoodSend tracks:

- **Email delivered** — confirmation it hit their inbox
- **Email opened** — they've seen it
- **Files downloaded** — they've got the files

No more chasing clients with "did you get my files?" follow-up emails.

## Tips for Sending Large Video Deliverables

**Don't compress unless asked.** Clients expect full-quality files. If they want a compressed version, let them ask for it — don't make that decision for them.

**Name files clearly.** Use descriptive names like "final-cut-v3-client-review.mp4" instead of "export-2024-final-FINAL.mp4". Your client shouldn't have to guess which file is which.

**Send a test first.** For important deliverables, send a test file to yourself. Takes 30 seconds and avoids embarrassing mistakes.

**Bundle related files.** Sending raw footage, the edit, and a preview? Send them together in one transfer to save credits and keep things organized.
