Having uploaded the archive once to a file exchanger, you can download it using a unique link an unlimited number of times. At the same time, any users can download (if you wish, you can set a password to open the archive). Use free file-sharing networks: https://narod.yandex.ru/https://letitbit.net/https://ifolder.ru/https://depositfiles.ru/After downloading the file from your computer, you will receive a unique link to file, which will be the address for downloading it.

Transferring files via the Internet to friends or work colleagues often becomes a problematic task: you need to transfer several documents, a dozen photos, and sometimes also songs or videos. Uploading each file to file-sharing services separately is a rather time-consuming task. Archiving will help solve the problem.
Instructions
Archiving is the creation of an archive file using special software - an archiver. The archive is a file- folder
, which contains “packed” files. Unlike a folder, it is a file and can even be an executing program (COM, EXE). Therefore, an archive, unlike a folder, can be transferred. It doesn’t matter how many files it contains.
The most common archive formats are RAR, ZIP, 7Z. For users, they are practically no different. The popular WinRAR archiver can create such an archive and extract files from it. WinRAR is a shareware program, therefore, all its functionality can be used without purchasing the full version.
A WinRAR window will appear with settings for the archive name and parameters. Configure the archive as you wish or leave everything as default, then click the “OK” button. After a few seconds or minutes, depending on the size of the folder and the number of files, an archive in RAR or ZIP will be created in the source directory, with the same name as the folder you archived. It is a single file that you can upload to a file hosting service, hosting service, or attach it to an email message.

Before sending a folder with files to VK with text, photo documents or others, you should study the information on the established limits and volumes of messages. As you know, the size should not be more than 200 MB.
To increase the level of security, VKontakte does not provide for sending programs. They most often turn out to be malicious, so the developer protected users of the social network. Sending is only possible through archiving. In this case, when attempting to unzip, the recipient will be warned that the attachment may harm the device.
