Facebook is one of the most popular sites in the world and not for a long time (not even recently) has changed its personal message system giving some more possibilities than in the past. Now Facebook Messenger works a bit like the emails of an e-mail service and allows not only to send text messages to other friends that can then be received on the mobile phone as SMS, but also to send one or more files by sharing it with others people. We don't just talk about photos or videos, with Facebook you can send files to other friends without problems, be they mp3, zip or other formats . To upload files to Facebook just send an attachment by pressing on the paperclip and selecting who can receive it.
However, there are limits to this functionality of the attachments even if they are not written anywhere, not even in the section that illustrates the functionality of new Facebook messages.
Facebook accepts files that are not .exe and that are no larger than 15 MB as attachments. Files that are not links, videos and photos cannot be previewed and must be downloaded to the computer. Office files and therefore Word docs, Excel tables and Powerpoint files can be viewed online without downloading them using the Office.com website. However, a video, a pdf, a .zip or .rar file, an mp3, an audio message or anything else can be attached to each Facebook message . I have no information regarding the duration of the download link which, theoretically, should remain available forever.
Recently, it has also become possible, in addition to sharing files with members in a Facebook group using Dropbox, to also send large files via Dropbox to Messenger . To send files using your smartphone via the Faceboook Messenger app, open a chat, go to the More button and find the file sharing via Dropbox.
You can also use other free online services to share and send larger files directly from Facebook .
2) The ZipShare online service has been released by the creators of WinZip, a file sharing web app that quickly uploads files and allows you to exchange them with Facebook friends . The download and download links will be sent to them. Unfortunately, ZipShare also has a limit of 20 MB per file and a total space for files uploaded and stored online, of 100Mb. Sharing can also take place by publishing the link on your profile wall so everyone who can see it can also download it.
3) The best way to share files of any kind with Facebook friends is the Ge.tt service where the uploaded files can be downloaded immediately, before the upload finishes. Sharing takes place via links, but the good thing is that the download can take place immediately, even if the upload of the online file has not yet been completed. From ge.tt there is a convenient button to share the link on Facebook, Twitter or via email. The limit is 2GB per file which is kept for 90 days if using a registered account.
For now, on Facebook, it is not possible to share music or mp3 files on the bulletin board (which only accepts photos and videos), without sending them via private messages, as seen above, leaving them to be downloaded.
As seen in other posts you can send voice messages on Facebook with Mymic and you can integrate a music player on Facebook on the profile where you can share your favorite music and songs, publishing them on the profile or on the fan page.
