Do you have files on your PC that you want to split into several parts so you can attach it on your email or save it on your USB? We all know that many email services like Yahoo! Mail has a limitation when attaching a file. You cannot send files that are larger than 25 MB. Good thing there are other services that help you send files to your friends no matter how big it is just like Pipebytes.
But if you really want to send big files using your email, you can still do it but you have to split your files into several parts first before you can attach and send the files one by one.
How to split a file into several parts using WinRAR*:
1. Right-click on the file that you want to split into several parts.
2. Click “Add to archive…”
I chose to split a video with the size of 5 MB.
3. Under the option Split to volumes, either enter the desired maximum size of each file part or choose an appropriate size from the available drop down option. In my case I entered 1 MB for each part of file.
4. Now the video was already split into several parts with the size of 1 MB each.
How to merge the files using WinRAR:
1. Right-click on the file.
2. Click “Extract files…”
3. Choose your preferred destination path and click OK. You’re done!

I always have this nagging problem when I try to type in my desired split volume. Example of this when I try to put split files to 200mb each, what it would do is flood the folder with lots of rar files almost endless in 1kb per file. Whats going on?
Really? Are you also using WinRAR? What is the original size of the file? Try to split the files into 50mb or less and see if it will work.
