Sending large files

How do you send large files?

Large files cannot be sent reliably by email, as attachments are usually limited to a few megabytes. Instead they are provided via a cloud service with share links or a secure transfer service.

Why is email unsuitable for large files?

Email attachments are size-limited, often unencrypted and hard to track. Large or sensitive files quickly end up on insecure paths or fail to be delivered.

What should you watch for when sending large files?

• Encryption in transit and at rest
• Time-limited, password-protected share links
• Access for recipients without their own account
• Server location and GDPR compliance

How SecureCloud solves sending large files

With SecureCloud, companies share even very large files via encrypted, time-limited share links, including with external partners without an account. Access is logged; hosted in Germany, GDPR-compliant.

How can I send files that are too large for email?

Via a cloud service with share links: the file is provided encrypted and the recipient gets a link, instead of a large email attachment.

How large can files be when sending?

By email it is usually only a few to a few dozen megabytes. Via encrypted shares you can share much larger files securely.

How do you send large files in a GDPR-compliant way?

Via an encrypted service with a server location in Germany or the EU, controlled access rights and logging, instead of unencrypted emails.
