=====Sending large files=====
You have a file that's too large to send via email, maybe it's several GB in size.  How can you send this, hopefully free?

Note, I don not guarantee the accuracy of this information as it changes over time.

===Notes===
  * 6/25/2023. Transferred files using both TransferNow and TransferXL.  I found TransferXL was faster. TransferNow is having trouble uploading the 49MB of 35 files for some unknown reason.
  * See also [[https://github.com/timvisee/send-instances/#instances]] for other send possibilities (I did not test these)
