File sharing has become common in today’s digital age, but when it comes to sharing large files, many people resort to WhatsApp or email. But these platforms have file size limits, making it difficult to send large files. Telegram solves this problem. Telegram not only allows sharing files up to 2GB, but it is also fast and secure.
Benefits of sending large files
- File sharing up to 2GB
- Fast and secure transfer
- Automatic save to cloud storage
- File transfer without loss of quality
- Accessibility from any device
How to share large files on Telegram
1. Open the Telegram app & select a chat
First of all open Telegram and select the person or group you want to send the file to.
2. Click on the attachment icon
You will see a “paperclip” (📎) icon in the chat box, click on it.
3. Select the “File” option
Now you will get different options like – Gallery, File, Location, Contact etc. Click on “File” here.
4. Select the file

5. Click on the “Send” button
After selecting the file, press the “Send” button. Now your large file will be sent without any quality loss!
How to make it more secure
Although Telegram is already a secure platform, if you want to give your files extra security, follow these tips:
1. Use secret chats
If your file is very sensitive, you can use secret chats.
- End-to-end encryption
- Can set an auto-delete timer
- Prevents screenshots
2. Send password-protected files
If you are sending a PDF, ZIP or RAR file, set a password on it. This will allow only the person who knows the password to access the file.
3. Upload files to cloud storage and share links
If the file is very large and you want to save space, first upload it to Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox and then share the link on Telegram.
4. Use Telegram channels or private groups
If you need to send the same file to multiple people, share it in a Telegram channel or private group. This will avoid sending the file again and again.
