The best way to share large files is to upload them to a secure cloud storage service like Proton Drive and create a shareable link to the file. Sharing files via the cloud is easier and faster than trying to attach a large file to an email or sharing a file on a physical USB flash drive.
Once you have your shareable link, you can send it to your recipients using a secure email service or encrypted messenger. You should choose an encrypted cloud storage service when you share sensitive files and protect your shareable links with strong passwords.
Many cloud storage services have a free option that allows you to share files up to a particular size. Proton Drive does not impose size restrictions on the files you share with your contacts. However, the Proton Drive Free plan has up to 5 GB of storage, so if you choose to share a file larger than 5 GB, you will need to upgrade to a Proton Drive Plus plan. The Proton Drive Plus plan comes with 200 GB of storage.
With Proton Drive, you can transfer your large files using end-to-end encryption. This means that no one else can access the contents of your stored files except you and anyone you share them with. Additionally, you can protect your shared files with an expiry date or a secure password.
The quickest way to share large files is to use an online file transfer service with fast servers. Using cloud storage to share large files is faster than compressing them into an email attachment or transferring them to a physical flash drive. With Proton Drive, you can share your files quickly and securely using an automatically generated file-sharing link that you can give to your contacts via email or messenger.
