I don't think you can do that. Even with Gmail your mailbox size cannot by bigger than 10GB (25GB for Google apps users). If you want to send that much data you need to use a webservice like Filepost, Hotfile, Rapidshare, Dropbox etc. But I don't think even with their premium subscriptions you can share 112GB as a single file. You'll need to break it up into smaller chunks and you probably won't be able to share all the chunks at once.
Being a fairly technical user if I was in your position I would use a service like S3 to upload the file(s) and then share the links with my friend. It costs $0.125/GB/month so around $0.46/day until all the data is downloaded. Or if I didn't want to pay for S3 I could share the data over SSH or FTP but you need to install a server and forward ports on your router. Not an easy task if you've never done that kind of stuff before.
Sorry to say it's not easy sending that much data. If you friend lives close by it's better to throw the files on a portable drive and just visit them.

Lol. Yeah, i do no longer think of you will locate any e mail provider which will flow 7GB of information in an e mail... your ideal decision is going to be an exterior media. In different words, an exterior annoyingcontinual, a telephone that could plug into your computing device with 7 gig of area, or a CD/DVD. extremely, i'm specific you will get lots of "use a USB" yet i'm specific you have some CD/Rs or CD/RWs or maybe some DVD/Rs or DVD/RWs. i might burn it to those. this might additionally assist you to back up your song, in case something undesirable might ensue on your machines. All of those fairly are quite user-friendly to end. and that they could all furnish a drag and drop variety of scheme for moving stuff.

The largest files you can send over email is about 1-5gb if you use an industrial/work email that a company can supply you with. Other than that maybe a dropbox account with wireless storage and send them that?

You can't. E-mail is a system designed for mail and small attachments. Most e-mail systems will block anything larger than about 25-50MB.
You'll have to find some other way to send them - direct file sharing, bittorrent or uploading to a dedicated server.

that amount of data can only be transfered if you have a premium email account and then your internet speed has to be INSANELY FAST to even transer that amount of data in a couple hours
