A method and an apparatus include a memory, a communication unit comprising communication circuitry, and a processor functionally coupled with the memory and/or the communication unit. The processor is configured to receive a transmit request of a file stored in the memory, to determine whether the requested file exceeds a reference size, to send the requested file to a server through the communication unit using a module configured with a file transfer function if the requested file exceeds the reference size, to receiver from the server a file access path relating to the transmitted file, and to share the received file access path with another electronic device.
