When it comes to distributing recital photos and videos, an online file transfer program is an easy, quick, secure way to send files too large for e-mail. Parents receive an e-mail once their photos and video are available for download via an external link. Here are two options:

Hightail’s basic level is free. Send up to 250 MB and store up to 20 GB. You’ll receive confirmation when the files you’ve sent have been delivered and downloaded.

WeTransfer lets you send up to 2 GB with the free version. An easy-to-follow, step-by-step wizard guides the file recipient through the download process. Note: Files are available for download for only seven days.
