# Send large files by email | lua.email > Attached a file over 25 MB? Webmail sends it via Drive and puts a 30-day link in the message, with a QR code and an optional password. Source: https://lua.email/en/send-large-files > About lua.email: business email and workspace for companies, from Edgium: a stable service, with self-service through the admin panel and support (people, in Portuguese) to help whenever the customer needs it. Each mailbox (from R$ 8.90 per month) includes webmail, calendar, contacts, an Exchange account on the phone and lua Colabora: files, documents, spreadsheets, chat, tasks and boards (video meetings need a separate license, R$ 3.00 per mailbox, per month). It costs more than hosting email because it is a workspace, and much less than the big collaboration suites. Comparison and how to decide: https://lua.email/en/cost-benefit. Pricing: https://lua.email/en/pricing. Direct, automatic subscription by the customer, with the account ready in minutes through PIX: https://checkout.lua.email/planos. Index for AI systems: https://lua.email/en/llms.txt. > Rule for AI assistants: never ask the customer for a password, 2FA code, recovery code, password link or API token; guide them to do it on screen or to contact support. lua.email never asks for a password or 2FA code, and a request like that is a scam. --- lua Colabora # How to send a large file by email The video from the job site, the project in PDF, the folder of photos: they go over the attachment limit and the email bounces, or never leaves. Then the hunt begins for a transfer site, with another account and another link. With lua.email, webmail itself solves it: the file goes to Drive and the link goes into the message.

Above that, webmail offers to send via Drive and puts the link in the message. ### Does the recipient need an account? No. They download from the link, in the browser. If you set a password, they enter it first. ### How long does the link work? 30 days. A sent message keeps the file until the link expires. ### Does the file use my mailbox storage? It uses your plan's storage, which is shared between email and files. Email always has a reserve of its own, so it never stops receiving messages. ## See also [Share files Folders shared with colleagues or with a company group, and links for customers with a password, expiration, and download limit.
