Emailing videos from my device question:

First, my device is a Galaxy S3. (I'm not sure if that matters) But the problem I'm having is emailing videos taken with my phone, from my phone. I use Gmail and the max attachment size is 25MB. A :45 second video taken with my phone is like 90+ MB's, so too large to email. Is there a way to easily compress the video's, or, is there some other email service I should try using?

Thank you!
 
You can use one of the cloud services easily. Basically you upload your video to the cloud service (Can be set to do so automatically) then just send the link to someone. that person can view the link or can right click and download it to their computer.

Dropbox. Microsoft Skydrive, Google etc all hae free ones you can sign up for. I think Microsoft's is 7GB.
