How do I send or download a 6.5mb file for another member here?

Tried to send via attachment but it's too large

I don't think the site has a means for large file transfer. You have to exchange emails or arrange some sort of off site transfer.

Upload to your cloud storage of choice (Google Drive, One Drive, Dropbox), then email a link to the intended recipient.

I’ve been using WeTransfer: easier than DropBox (and fewer annoying emails wanting to to go Pro).

After re-reading, 6.5 mb is not a large file. Yahoo allows up to 25 mb attachments. Not sure about others.

I have found this to be the best option. I personally use OneDrive, and just make sure to set it to read only.
