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.
