How to send large ZIP files

Zipping is polite when the thing is a folder. It is useless when the thing is already a compressed video. You will wait, and the file will not shrink.

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

Upload the zip as one file. On the other side, a transfer of many loose files can still be downloaded as one zip, so you do not have to pre-chew it if you would rather they see the names.

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

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.
