Best Practices for Sharing Large Files
1Break Down Large Files
For files over 1GB, it's recommended to break them down into smaller ZIP archives of around 30GB each. This approach has several benefits:
- Easier recovery if a download is interrupted
- Recipients can access completed parts immediately
- More manageable download sizes
- Better reliability across different network conditions
2Create ZIP Archives
Using WinRAR on Windows, you can easily split large files into smaller archives:
- Right-click your files and select "Add to archive..."
- In the WinRAR window, find "Split to volumes, bytes"
- Enter 30G for 30GB chunks
- Click OK to create the split archives
3Share with SendFiles
Once your files are prepared:
- Select the folder containing your ZIP archives
- Click "Share" to generate your link instantly
- Send the link to your recipients

Download SendFilesFrequently Asked Questions
Can I really share files over 300GB?
Yes, SendFiles has no built-in file size limits. The only practical limitations are your computer's storage and your internet connection speed.
Why should I split large files into smaller archives?
Breaking down large files into 30GB chunks makes downloads more manageable and reliable. If a download is interrupted, only the current file needs to be restarted, not the entire 300GB file.
Do recipients need to install anything?
No, recipients only need a web browser to access and download the files you share. For extracting ZIP archives, they can use standard tools like WinRAR or 7-Zip.
