If you also want to solve this problem, then don’t miss the following solutions. They can help you easily send large videos on your Android device in 5 different ways.

How to Send Large Videos on Android via Google Photos

Using Google Photos is an effective way to share large videos on an Android device without a cable. If you like uploading your videos and photos to Google Photos, you can easily send them to others via links.

What’s more, it doesn’t require the recipient to install Google Photos, since its “Share to apps” function enables you to send the link of your video to other apps. However, it is not convenient when you intend to send many big videos, as one link contains only one video.

Here’s the guide:

1. Open the Google Photos app on your Android phone, and tap the video you want to send.
2. Tap the Share > Share to apps icon to choose an app you want.
3. Click the Create link feature to share your big video with others. Then the receiver can open the link to view and save the video.

How to Share Large Videos on Android Gallery App via Links

Nowadays, some built-in gallery apps on Android phones and tablets support sharing via links. This feature provides a convenient way to share the large local videos for users. That is, you needn’t upload your files to a cloud server before sending them.

But this feature is not supported by most Android mobile devices. Quite a few Android phones cannot share files via links, so you can check if this feature is supported on your device in advance. By the way, it can share one file at a time.

Here are the steps:

1. Launch the Gallery app on an Android device, and navigate to the target video you want to send.
2. Click the file, tap Share > Link sharing, and select an app to send the link.
3. Then the recipient can view and download the video through the link.

How to Send Large Videos on Android via Send Anywhere

You can wirelessly send multiple large videos via Send Anywhere, a file transfer application to share files to multiple people simultaneously via a link. Even though it is a wireless transfer tool, it uses Wi-Fi Direct instead of cellular data or a Wi-Fi network. Moreover, the transferring speed is faster than Bluetooth.

To send, receive, and save your large videos and other files, Send Anywhere will ask for the permissions of writing and reading internal/external storage, camera, access to your location, etc. If you don’t allow it to access your phone, you will fail to send your videos via this app. But please note that it requires both sender and receiver to install the app.

Here’s the guide:

1. Install Send Anywhere on your Android device and the receiver’s device. Then open the app, and allow it to access your device.
2. Click the VIDEOS tab, select the desired videos, and tap the SEND icon. Then there is a 6-digit key on the screen, and it is valid within 10 minutes.
3. Input the key on the target device, and click OK. Then the device will successfully receive the videos.

How to Send Large Videos on Android via Email (Require Compression)

Therefore, if you want to send a large video on Android via the mail app, you need to compress the video file to under 50MB. In this case, you can use a video compress app to make the video size smaller, but this step will damage your video quality.

Here’s the tutorial:

1. Install the Video Compress app from Google Play, open the compress app, and add your large video to the app and compress it.
