Those were a few methods for transferring large video files to other devices. However, if you encounter file size limits with any method, you can always use file compression software.

File compression will reduce the file size, making it easy to share them with others. However, compressing video files can reduce the quality of the video. So, this option might not be the best if you can compromise on the video quality. To compress your video files, you can try different online tools or software like WinRAR, HandBrake, VLC, FFmpeg, etc.
