There is no best technique for sending a large email attachment. It depends on what the size restrictions are and the contents of the attachment. One thing to keep in mind is that many binary attachments, such as audio, video, and pictures and programs, are converted to a non-binary format using only A-Za-z0-9 characters and this conversion process comes close to doubling the size of an attachment in an email. If curious and using gmail, this can be seen by selecting "show original" in the corner "action" menu in gmail. I don't think you can see it using Microsoft or Yahoo email programs.
One way to make an email smaller is to compress it. There are programs that use ZIP, GZIP , RAR, and other compression methods. Some methods work better than others depending on the file being compressed. Many compression programs also have options to control the degree of compression and the speed of the compression. The more work a program does to maximize file compression, the more time it takes to accomplish it. Compression using these methods can be restored to their original form using the appropriate program. Therefore these are called lossless compression methods. Many file formats such as PDF and some picture, audio, and video formats are already in a compressed form. You may find that compression results in only a small decrease in size (if any).
Some conversion programs convert videos to a format that does not retain as much information as the original file, making it smaller. The result can still be viewed but may have less detail. With a lossy compression method, it can not be converted to the original form.
Another possibility is to take a large file, split it into smaller files, send each smaller file in a separate email. At the receiving end recombine the smaller files into the original larger files. There are many programs that can do this correctly. An example is a freeware program called HJsplit available from many sources on the internet. A copy of the program is needed at both the mail sending and receiving site to accomplish this. It is also possible to combine compression and splitting. Versions of the RAR program can be configured to do both in one step.

What is the attachment theory?
Attachment theory is a psychological framework that examines the bonds formed between individuals, typically between infants and their caregivers. It suggests that early relationships shape an individual's ability to form and maintain relationships later in life.
