Sending big files?

Does anyone know of a solution for sending big files (in this case 20-30gb)?

All solution I've found includes signing up for a monthly plan. I don't need it often enough to do that, so maybe some solution where you can pay per transfer or something?

Mega gives you 50GB for free.

mega.nz

Or maybe BitTorrent Sync could work for you...

Thanks!

I was tipped about this one:
www.myairbridge.com/en/

which seems like a WeTransfer-like site that lets you send 20gb free. Anyone used it?

Another, but less convenient option are tools like Split And Concat, which split large files into smaller chunks, e.g. 2GBs for wetransfer. After dl, the receiver needs the same tool, to combine them back to a single file.

20-30GBs upload needs some time.... Or a blazing fast connection ....

I am soon will be asking the same question, how to send/receive large files.

Maybe a very smart editor could help with VPN or something like that, from what I have seen, a virtual private network seems like a great concept, I sign into your system, select the files I need, from the folder where the file/files are located and downloaded.

The problem is ADSL, it is mega fast on download, but very very very very very slow on the upload...

Just need something I can understand, that is not needing a PHD from MIT Computer Science Department...I am sure many users here would love a simple app that has a simple interface, for setup, I will pay for the app, that is not the issue...

Myairbridge works great, you can use it.

But what I do now is to have an online Google Drive folder, I upload files on it (not synced with my mac so it does not take local space) and share the links.

Maybe for smaller size files, but if you have a large folder with loads of files, say a couple of 32 or bigger SD cards, there is no real way to transfer.

The thought I had was to use a VPN, from what I know about VPN, given that my laptop is always on, connected to the wifi, if I need to send, or say to receive a folder/file, then "VPN" to the remote computer and download from there, of course it will take time as ADSL is slower on the uploading, bypassing the need to cloud, dropbox uploading a screengrab can take 10 minutes...

As I see it, there is no app dedicated for VPN access, if such exists, what and how to set it up, Apple has not given this a moment's thought, something so obvious, I guess the selected FCPX reviewers fly 1st class and hand deliver material from camera to editor, and back again...

Why why why why Apple is there no app? Surely this is obvious!!!

I know why there is no app.. Jony too busy designing a stupid app for his yacht!!

VPN is for privacy and transfers are generally slower. You're complicating things.

I stick to my answer.

No, I am not, Apple is really making a mess here...This is a problem that should have been solved with FCPX 10.0.0!!!

Why it is not, I blame the Ripple Twins..They are intelligent enough, if I can see the problem, why not them???

Setting up a VPN on a Mac is dead simple. There is no app because no app is required, just add the server address and a few bits of info in System preferences>Network preferences and you're good to go. Server address, account name and password. BOOM! You even get a handy switch in the menu bar. But like you said, having A VPN doesn't really speed anything up other than cutting out the middle-man ( Livedrive?Dropbox etc ).
Investing in a fast connection is what you need. ( 100 Mbps each end being ideal.) If you don't need it often enough to justify the financial outlay on bandwidth then maybe go old school with a memory stick and a courier service? With 30GB or so of data, the file will probably still get there quicker than trying to send across a slow connection, even if it is going halfway around the world

Maybe in the US, Europe, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, and parts of Australia, where such bandwidth is both available and cheap, here that is not the case.

The problem is ADSL, is fast to download, but extremely slow to upload. VPN is safe, as it is a tunnel, and private.

Sneaker net via DHL, again if you are in the above, US to Australia, but here from the arse end of Africa, it is not cheap, I would love to do a download test of 30GB from the US, see just how long it will take, that is full, from the uploading to the downloading on my end, I know a few GB took almost 2 days, so 30 should be about a week-10 days...

A week to 10 days, I could fly to Creative Summit, fly back, and it will still be downloading, as for courier, depends on what you pay, express, my FCPX keyboard took 3 months, stuck in customs from November to February...

I just amended my previous message but here it is again...

System preferences>Network.
Add the Server/network address, then the account name and password and then click connect.
You even get a handy switch in the menu bar to turn the connection on and off if you tick "Show VPN Status in Menu Bar".
The connection will appear in the Finder just like if you were connected to a network locally.

Where? Nothing regards VPN

Click the plus + symbol to create a new service where you have your Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Thunderbolt, Bluetooth connections listed. Where it says 'Interface' select VPN from the dropdown'

Ok, next step, enroll hopefully at MIT for a PHD in Computer Science...That is just my point, Apple has made this complicated, just how many normal users know what a IKEv2 is???

C'mon it wasn't that hard was it? I think you're just being a teensy bit grumpy now.

I have no idea how to set up a vpn from say here to there you...What is IKEv2? L2TP over IPsec? PPTP? Cisco IPSec...I know Cisco makes computer parts.

I don't know what they are either. All i have listed are:
Thunderbolt Bridge.
Thunderbolt 2,
Thunderbolt 1,
Bluetooth PAN,
Wi-Fi,
Thunderbolt Firewire,
VPN,
PPPoE
6 to 4.

As long as you have VPN listed you don't need to worry about the rest.
