    Have the customer sign up for a free Google account and *poof* - they too will have Google Drive. If they have some paranoid Google fear - use DropBox.

      SOLUTION: The customer installed Google Drive and shared the files. WeTransfer looked the easiest and most interesting of the answers given the customer profile. OLD QUESTION: I do have Google drive here, but the customer doesn't. The customer is not tech savvy and he won't spend a € on a software solution to send that file. What free and easy-to-use software would you recommend? Even better if we don't have to install anything... I have thought on setting up an ftp server which would be easy for me but not easy for the customer. What would you use/do? Thank you very much!

                    Hello. I do not use Drive but Onedrive requires that you login to edit a folder or file. In Onedrive, unlike Drive, the buttons show up when you open the shared link but, when you press one of the buttons, it asks for a login. Maybe they do this to prevent gigantic anonymous uploads that would exceed the account limit.

                          At the end the customer has used Google Drive (he has installed it in his computer) but this was already mentioned and looked by far the best option. :thumbsup:

                            I've even tried it locally with my google user logged in without luck. It can be a bug a problem on their servers or myself, but nothing worked... I think onedrive was easier to work with. But it's been a long time since it's last use here... Thank you for posting! :thumbsup:

                                          I've even tried it locally with my google user logged in without luck. It can be a bug a problem on their servers or myself, but nothing worked... I think onedrive was easier to work with. But it's been a long time since it's last use here... Thank you for posting! :thumbsup:

                                          Try https://file.pizza works great. But if sending sensitive info, encrypt first.
