The file can be uploaded to Shrinkfile and it hosts the file on its servers for 1 week and generates a static URL corresponding to that file. The file can be downloaded from their servers in .zip format.

file compression utility

Shrinkfile supports its site through ads and the ads could seem annoying because they are all over the upload box. In fact the upload box is barely visible unless you take your mouse pointer on it.

Except for this demerit, Shrinkfile is a good tool for easy compression of big files.
