How To Share Large Files over the Internet with Google Drive

A few months back Google surprised us by tripling Google drive’s free storage capacity from 5GB to 15GB. This is still in fact the highest amount of free storage provided by any cloud storage services online. With all this free storage space, storing and sharing large files has become a breeze.

One of the biggest problem that you might face while sharing large files over the internet is, at most you will be able upload and share files up to 5GB in size. In case the files you want to share are larger than that, then you will have to pay for those services. But with Google drive’s free storage, you can store and share large files up to 15GB in size. This is perhaps more than sufficient for most of us. Additionally you can also set permissions for specific people and control who can access the files on your Google drive storage.

You don’t need to worry if you have gigabytes worth of videos or other files to share with your relatives abroad. With Google drive you can upload your videos and easily share them with your family and friends. Sharing large files was never easier than this. Here’s how you can upload and share large files from your Google drive storage.

How To Share Large Files using your Google Drive Storage

• Step 1: Head over to Google drive and sign in with your Google account : https://drive.google.com/
• Step 2: Click on the upload icon and select the file which you want to upload. Wait until the upload completes.

Solution :

You need to ensure both you and the keyboard are in the same country.  It sounds like you (or the keyboard) are in the US and the keyboard (or you) are in the UK.  The settings are in Control Panel, Regional & Language Options.

How To Unlock and Delete Locked Files on Windows

Once in a while you might come across a file that simply cannot be deleted no matter how much effort you put into it. Its a common annoyance in windows and I have encountered it a lot of times. There are many reasons why windows won’t let you delete some files. Usually the file might be in use by windows or any other programs, which is why windows wont let you delete it. Although chances of a malware infection can be the cause, but its not a common case.

 

Ever had such an annoying message given by Windows?

It has many other flavors:
Cannot delete file: Access is denied
There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use.
The file is in use by another program or user.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.

Unlocker is the solution!

1. Simply right click the folder or file and select Unlocker

2. If the folder or file is locked, a window listing of lockers will appear

3. Simply click Unlock All and you are done!
