Sharing small files over messaging apps like whatsapp or email is easy. But when you need to send very large files (10GB, 50GB, or even 100GB), most common platforms won’t work. Fortunately, there are several free methods to do this safely and efficiently.
1. Use Cloud Storage Services
Cloud services allow you to upload your files and share a download link. Some popular options:
Google Drive
Free storage: 15GB (you may need multiple accounts for larger files).
Upload your file → Share link with recipient → They can download directly.
OneDrive
Free storage: 5GB (more storage with free trial or multiple accounts).
Mega
Free storage: 20GB initially (can increase with referrals).
Can handle large files, secure, and fast download links.
pCloud
Free storage: 10GB initially, reliable for large transfers.
Tip: Split very large files into smaller chunks if necessary to fit free storage limits.
2. Use File Transfer services for Large Files
There are services designed specifically to send huge files without worrying about storage limits:
WeTransfer (Free Version)
Max file size: 2GB per transfer.
Paid version allows up to 200GB.
FileMail
Free version allows sending files up to 50GB.
Can send directly via email or generate a download link.
SendGB
Free version supports up to 50GB.
Files can be encrypted for extra security.
Google Drive + Compression Trick
Compress files into ZIP or RAR format.
Upload to google Drive and share.
3. Peer-to-Peer File Sharing
If you want direct transfer without uploading to cloud:
Use tools like Resilio Sync (formerly BitTorrent Sync).
Transfers files directly from your computer to the recipient’s.
No size limits, no server storage needed.
Tips for Sending Huge Files Safely
Always compress files (ZIP/RAR) to reduce size.
Check upload and download speed — sending 100GB will take hours on slow internet.
Use password protection or encryption for sensitive files.
Share download links rather than sending multiple emails.
Bottom Line: Sending 100GB of data for free is possible using cloud storage, file transfer services, or peer-to-peer tools. While some free limits exist, combining services or using P2P tools can help you send huge files efficiently.
