Sending pictures, videos and other files to our website
If you need to send pictures, videos or any other material for use on our website, you’ve come to the right place! Further down this page you will find our tool that makes it as easy as possible, even if you have very large files or a very large number of files.
Which method should I use?
If you already use WhatsApp and the files you want to send are on your phone, it provides a very easy way to send photos and short videos. Please send your material to Jonathan’s phone 07713 241838.
WhatsApp imposes a limit on the size of files it can send. You won’t be able to send any video longer than about 2 minutes.
Sending files as email attachments is often convenient, and you are welcome to use admin@sevenroads.uk to send us material. However, it has some serious limitations:
- sending very large files, such as videos, may not work
- it can be difficult to send more than a few files in one email
- email systems on phones may sometimes compress pictures so that they are too grainy to use on our website
In summary: email is great for sending individual documents, but it’s not ideal for pictures and video.
File transfer services
There are many excellent file sharing services available such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, WeTransfer and Apple MailDrop. If you are able to use one of these services, it is a good way to transfer large files, photos and videos to us or to anyone else. However, you may find that their numerous options and settings can make them a little tricky to use.
