How to send a 10 GB file
Ten gigabytes is a rough cut or a folder of prints. Free WeTransfer will not take it. Free Pink Jeepney will not take it. Personal will, at 25 GB.

Stop using the letter slot
Email will pretend to help and then bounce. A shared drive will succeed and then never leave. A transfer is the third thing: a link with a clock.
A link with a clock beats a folder with no ending.
Do this
Send Anywhere is often happy around this size if you are moving it to your own other screen. For a client, use a real link with an expiry you chose on purpose.
On Pink Jeepney: open the site, drop the files, write one sentence on the ticket if they need it, copy the link. Several files can come back down as one zip. Send the link in whatever thread you already have. The transfer does not need to become the relationship.
What fits
| Plan | Per transfer | The link lasts | Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 2 GB | 7 days | No |
| Personal, $9 | 25 GB | 30 days | Yes |
| Professional, $24 | 100 GB | 90 days | Yes |
| Business, $59 | 250 GB | Up to a year | Yes, and your logo |
When this is the wrong tool
If the file must be unreadable to the host, use Wormhole or Tresorit Send. Pink Jeepney will expire, and it will burn after download if you ask. It will not hide the bytes from the machine that stored them. Know which problem you have.
