I have a file that is almost 56gb,which is way to large to e-mail. What is the best way that I can send this? Do I need to split this, and then try to send it in a few parts? How can I do that? Thanks for the help.

 

That's an unhealthy amount of porn.

 

dropbox

 

Call payPal.

 

Winzip

 

Put the hard drive in a box and send it USPS.

 

Do NOT email 56GB. Good lord. I set the cap here at work to 50mb. Lol

Email protocols are not for file transfers.

FTP!

 

Round, rat or bastard?

^ FTMFW.

Just setup a dropbox folder and share folder with email recipient.

Edit: Wtf.. 56 gigs? Wtf do you have to email that's 56 gigs? Are you trying to email like an installed video game folder or something?!

 

Do as other's mentioned or you could upload it somewhere and have the other person download it.

Like a torrent or filesharing site.

 

I didnt even see that he needs to move 56GB... Port to a flash drive or a hard drive and send over mail. Or setup a server on yourside and let them download it. Otherwise this is pointless.

 

Post SS# and two major credit card numbers with expiration dates here.

AZ will get you a drop box.

 

Swiss and I would use padded envelope.

 

i am not even gonna guess how long its gonna take you to upload 56GB I hope you have a good internet connection....

uploads 55gb and connection drops


but yeah you can use Google Drive (you will have to buy storage) or Dropbox....

download a tool called 7-zip....zip the 56GB up....use GZ (unix zip, since compression will be better)....then load it to Google Drive and share the link....

 

Im going to pretend you meant 56MB......

 

Give the OP a break.

He has a file that is to large and wants too know what too do about it.
To many times people give bad advice about what too do.

We should all do our part too help him try too solve this problem, and we should be nice about it to.

 

Well, it at least keeps people like me in demand when someone has a 56GB file stuck in their outbox.

Good advice is: zipping wont do much probably, need to know what type of tile to know what kind of compression. Cloud storage (dropbox, google drive, etc) gives you up to 5GB (10GB max) storage for free, the rest you need to pay for.Best bet is to buy a 64GB USB flash drive and fed ex it to wherever its going.

 

^^^ you can setup a server config and FTP the file as well

 

Says the guy who said call paypal.

But I can only think of two ways to move 56gigs over the net: Torrent-ing or setting up an FTP server - two options which are probably outside of OP's comfort zone.

I think Whiskers is right, gotta buy a cheap flash drive and fedex/overnite that pr0n folder.

 

FTP is by far the easiest way. Even if the FTP server is local to the OP.

If not, just put it on a flash drive as mentioned and mail it.

 

So you're saying the OP should

?

 

umm...the cheapest option will be google drive....

15 GB plan is free
100 GB plan is $5/month....enable it...upload it...share link, download it, close it. DONE !!!

also if its porn, I would like a link

 

If the guy was suggesting emailing the file, Im not walking him through setting up a FTP server. Go for it if you want...

 

I am just listing all the options

 

 

Lol,swoosh, it's not porn. Just a video I put together for my parents of when we were kids growning up, now everyone wants a friggin copy! My brother,sister,cousins,aunt. They are all driving me nuts now to hurry up and send it. Never thought about using flash drive,but I'd have to buy a few of them. Thanks for all the help.

 

^^^ 56GB...

I bet the video contains all your childhood


am just messing with you....

as I said, download 7-zip...gzip that thing up....get more storage from google...upload it, email it....

when all of your family has downloaded it, reduce the storage....all in all you will spend $5

 

Out of all the people posting....

The grammar nazi missed the post of the thread.

 

Zipping a video wont do much, its usually already compressed.

 

try 7ZIP...

its uses the unix tool, gzip, LOVE IT !!!

 

What? I wear this avatar merely to make fun of a particular douche. I don't care how people talk/type online.

I mean if he's on a MAC a FTP server is a few clicks away.

You could always re-encode the video to a smaller size too...

 

Grammar Nazi, how do I re-encode the video to a smaller size?

 

A little known downside to GDrive is that they cap your upload speeds at around 300b/s. Some services like TransferBigFiles.com can double or triple that and upload much faster.

 

^^^ WOW really

I have uploaded many 80-100mb files in less than a minute, which is not possible if the speeds were capped to 300bps...

 

 

Well just forget I mentioned that I guess.

I'd say the best thing for you to do is put it on a flash drive and mail it.

Zipping doesn't do a damn thing for video. FYI.

 

I said that.

 

I still feel the best way is google drive/dropbox...

my work blocks dropbox so can get pricing on them

 

If it's a video, upload it to YouTube (or Vimeo), mark it as private or unlisted, then send everyone a link to it. Done.
