What happens when sending a large file to someone without a Dropbox plan?

hi,  if I sent large file to someone who doesn't have dropbox subscription, can he receive it? I know it might be a stupid question but I just want to be sure 😁

    Alobaid77 yes! are you trying to just send them a copy of it? or do you want the person you're sharing with to have a 'live' version, that changes as you make changes to it? If you just want to send a copy, you should use Dropbox Transfer: https://www.dropbox.com/transfer
