Maybe you don't want to share your videos on social networks, or you want to send it to your parents, or you're trying to move that video from a trip from one device to another. You have a couple of options to send a large video file without worrying about it being compressed (like in email).

Online Cloud Services

These services are free and enable you to upload files to the cloud, from which you can share a link with others. The leading platforms in this area are Dropbox, iCloud Drive, and Google Drive. Simply copy and paste the sharing link into an email or message, and send it to anyone you wish to share the video with. These platforms also offer mobile apps, making it easy to download and upload files.

File Sharing Websites

Many free file transfer sites allow you to upload a single file and send it to different email addresses or create a share link to that file. We use WeTransfer and enjoy it because it doesn't require creating an account.

AirDrop

This technology enables sharing content with nearby Apple devices, making it ideal for transferring videos from your iPhone to your Mac. It's quick and straightforward. Just activate AirDrop in your notification center and ensure you're sharing with your contacts. Then, open your Photos app and select the videos you want to share.
