    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!

        Drag and drop files, search for any button that would allow to upload content... Nothing on the window so I've not been able to upload any content.

            I was reading through and thought the exact same thought.

                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:

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

                                      Try https://file.pizza just don't send sensitive info unless you encrypt.

                                        Either Dropbox where he can send you a link to it and you can download or you can send him a file request and he will upload it directly into your own dropbox. Another alternative would be Bittorent Sync, extremely easy to setup however you both need to have your system running at the same time for it to transfer the file across. My workaround to that problem is setting up Bittorent Sync on my always-on server so files will be transferred from the clients computer to the server and when you turn on your computer, it will download it from the server.
