How to mail more than 60gb
The eternal struggle of sending large files!
There are a few ways to mail files larger than 60GB:
- Split the file into smaller parts: You can use a file splitter tool to divide your large file into smaller chunks, each under 60GB. Then, you can send each chunk separately via email or upload them to a file-sharing platform.
- Use a file-sharing platform: Websites like WeTransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive allow you to upload large files and share them with others. Most of these platforms have a free plan that allows you to send files up to 2GB, but you can upgrade to a paid plan for more storage and transfer limits.
- Use a cloud storage service: Cloud storage services like Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Storage offer large storage capacities and allow you to upload and share files. You can create a shared link or send the file to the recipient via email.
- Use a peer-to-peer file transfer service: Services like Resilio Sync (formerly BitTorrent Sync) or FileRun allow you to transfer large files directly between devices without relying on cloud storage.
- Use a specialized file transfer service: Companies like Aspera, Signiant, or FileCatalyst offer high-speed file transfer solutions for large files. These services often require a paid subscription and may have specific requirements for file size and transfer speed.
- Use a USB drive or external hard drive: If you need to send a large file to someone who is nearby, you can use a USB drive or external hard drive to transfer the file. Just make sure to use a reliable and fast storage device.
Before sending large files, make sure to:
- Check the recipient's email size limits and file transfer capabilities.
- Compress the file to reduce its size, if possible.
- Use a reliable and fast internet connection to ensure smooth file transfer.
- Verify the file integrity and checksum to ensure it's not corrupted during transfer.
Remember to always follow best practices for file transfer and sharing, such as using secure protocols and encrypting sensitive data.
