Why not use email to send and receive files?

0

Email has many major limitations when it comes to file transferring. If you have ever tried to send a file larger than a few MB’s you know what we mean. More often than not, the email will be sent back as undeliverable because it exceeded file size restrictions. Other email limitations include: Security – while the email is in transit, it can be intercepted by hackers or wrongdoers No Progress Notification – there is no progress bar during the transfer so you never know how far along the transfer is. No Multiple Simultaneous Transfers – if you want to send different sets of files to different locations (or same), you have to wait for the first email to send, then the second email to send, etc. Not Interruption Proof – if your email program, network or computer should crash you have to start your transfer over from the beginning.
