How to Transfer A Large File
It can be rather frustrating when you try to send large files like video or data through email only to receive an error message that the file is too large. Unfortunately, email accounts can’t carry as much storage as you would like to think. For example, Gmail can only hold files up to 25 MB. Large files can also take up a lot of storage space, even just sitting in your Sent folder.
To collaborate with teams or partners effectively, your business needs the freedom to access the data and content they need when they need it. Your organization needs a secure, fast, and reliable way to send files to your colleagues, vendors or customers. With a software solution like IBM Aspera, you can move data of any size across any distance.
