How to send large files from a phone

Sending from a phone

1. Open the transfer service in your mobile browser.
2. Tap the upload area and choose the video, photos, or files you want to send.
3. Stay on the page while the upload runs.
4. Generate the link or enter the recipient email address.
5. Share the link through messages, email, or any chat application.

What to watch out for on mobile

• use Wi-Fi for large uploads, mobile data plans and speeds vary
• keep the screen awake, some phones suspend background browser uploads
• check available battery before starting a long upload
• phone video is often larger than expected, a few minutes of 4K can be several gigabytes

Why the browser is enough

MyAirBridge works entirely in the browser, including on phones, so there is nothing to install on either side.

The recipient also opens a plain link, which matters when sending to someone who will not install an application just to receive one file.

Sending photos and video

Keep the original quality

Messaging apps recompress photos and video. A transfer link delivers the original file untouched, which matters for client work.

Send many photos at once

Select the whole set rather than sending them one by one. Free transfers cover up to 20 GB, which is a large photo shoot.

FAQ

Can I send a large video from my iPhone without an app?

Yes. Open a transfer service in Safari, upload the video, and share the link. Nothing needs to be installed on either side.

Why does sending video through a messaging app reduce quality?

Messaging apps recompress media to save bandwidth. A transfer link delivers the original file unchanged.

How large a file can I send from a phone?

The same as from a computer. MyAirBridge free transfers reach 20 GB per transfer.

Summary

Sending large files from a phone works through the mobile browser: upload, generate a link, share it. Use Wi-Fi, keep the screen on during the upload, and remember that a transfer link preserves original quality that messaging apps would compress away.
