Apple is not the sole offender, in this.
We (as a group of more than twelve million professional computer users) need to define where the line is between update and upchuck.

That would be my guess. Windows does/did it for that reason certainly.

SOLUTION:
The customer installed Google Drive and shared the files.
WeTransfer looked the easiest and most interesting of the answers given the customer profile.
OLD QUESTION:
I do have Google drive here, but the customer doesn't.
The customer is not tech savvy and he won't spend a € on a software solution to send that file.
What free and easy-to-use software would you recommend?
Even better if we don't have to install anything...
I have thought on setting up an ftp server which would be easy for me but not easy for the customer.
What would you use/do?
Thank you very much!

Add an "Upload file" button somewhere on your website.
or choose one of these "free file hosting" sites: Google[^]

Have the customer sign up for a free Google account and *poof* - they too will have Google Drive.
If they have some paranoid Google fear - use DropBox.

Why not... let's see if he can install any software of this kind...

No need to install anything. Both Google Drive and DropBox have a web interface.

Actually I believe you can even share a folder via link on Google Drive.
So, you go and create a folder, share it via link. Email the link to the user and he can click the link and drop a file into your shared folder.
Even without user signing up for an account.

|
|
|
|
That's what I thought...
But even I created a link to that newly created folder with the editing permission for anyone that has the link, the customer can't upload files there... super strange.
|
|
|
|
|
That is odd. Error between keyboard and chair on customer's part maybe? 
|
|
|
|
|
|
You're right. I tried it too. Must be a bug in Drive.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes... strange but... Thank you for trying.

What have you tried ?

Drag and drop files, search for any button that would allow to upload content...
Nothing on the window so I've not been able to upload any content.

Hello.
I do not use Drive but Onedrive requires that you login to edit a folder or file.
In Onedrive, unlike Drive, the buttons show up when you open the shared link but, when you press one of the buttons, it asks for a login.
Maybe they do this to prevent gigantic anonymous uploads that would exceed the account limit.
|
|
|
|
|
I've even tried it locally with my google user logged in without luck. It can be a bug a problem on their servers or myself, but nothing worked... I think onedrive was easier to work with. But it's been a long time since it's last use here...
Thank you for posting!

Try https://file.pizza works great. But if sending sensitive info, encrypt first.
