Large File Sharing

Sharing Large Files with eFax

Modern faxing offers a reliable way to send and receive large files, without the hurdles of low file size limits and long send times. In this article, learn about the benefits of using eFax to send large files and how to send electronic faxes.

Benefits of eFax File Sharing

eFax offers multiple benefits, especially when it comes to large fax files. Emailing documents is simple, but most email providers have a file size limit of 10 – 25MB. That’s not enough to send large files, especially with today’s quality images and high-resolution documents.

Unlike other methods of file sharing, eFax has a 3GB file size limit. This means you can share your files at high quality without having to compress or zip them, potentially losing document quality.

File links last 90 days, so your recipients don’t have to worry about disappearing documents. With an eFax subscription, you can send up to 75 large faxes a month!

Use a professional file-sharing link

eFax offers professional emails that include trustworthy links. You can add a personalized subject line and body message to let your recipients know what files to expect when they download faxes.

Incorporating the professionalism of a traditional fax, paired with the ease and convenience of an email, eFax delivers your important faxes in minutes to up to 20 email address recipients all at once.

Get a notification for received and downloaded files

eFax’s notifications ensure you’re never waiting around for a fax to come in, or for verification of receipt. Once your recipient downloads the file, you’ll receive another notification to let you know your file was accessed. You will also be able to see exactly who downloaded the files, so you have a point of contact if follow-up is necessary.

eFax notifications reduce miscommunications and time spent tracking down missed deliveries.
