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[^]

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.

Nothing to sorry about!
It's already solved... the customer ended up creating a google drive folder and sharing it with me...
