Sending huge files doesn't have to be such a pain. Whether you're an old techie pro or just getting started with computers, there's a way that will fit just right. Each has its balance of ease, security, and speed. Let's break down the top four choices:

#1. EaseUS Todo PCTrans (No Registration)

EaseUS Todo PCTrans Professional was a lifesaver in terms of moving massive files between systems. It was like a super-fast and super-secure bridge between the devices—no need to upload to the cloud or carry chunky drives anymore.

The best thing about this tool is that it provides the possibility to transfer files directly between PCs. If you want to transfer some big project of video edits, some big game folder, or even your whole system onto another computer, this is the best tool for that. Of course, you don't need a technical background to do this. The interface is simple. It will guide you through every step.

Step 1. Install and open EaseUS Todo PCTrans on source and target PCs. Navigate to the "File Sharing" tab and click "Start" to begin.

Step 2. To build the connection between two PCs, you need to ensure both of them are under the same network. Then, choose the target PC icon or click "Add PC" and enter the other PC's connection code.

Step 3. Drag and drop the large files that you want to transfer. Then, you can see it in the Receive lists on the target PC.

And there's more! EaseUS Todo PCTrans isn't limited to transferring files. Other cool features of this utility include:

• Transfer apps with user accounts: Changing to a new computer? Take your favorite programs and Windows user accounts with you.
• Migrate your apps: Move your programs to another drive to free up disk space.
• System cleanup: Clean up junk files on your system drive.

For a faster, easier way to send those giant files, use EaseUS Todo PCTrans Professional. It's the best option. This tool works for anyone, regardless of their computer expertise, and won't frustrate you in the process.

#2. Cloud Storage Services (Dropbox)

Cloud storage has become the go-to for many; it is so easy to operate, and one can access files from anywhere in the world. With services like Dropbox, ample room is available even for the biggest of files.

Here's how to send those large files using Dropbox:

Step 1. An account is supposed to be created with Dropbox.  

Step 2. If you already have one, it is time to upload it.

Step 3. Find your file and drag it into your Dropbox folder, or use the "Upload" button.

Step 4. Dropbox, once you are done uploading your file, gives you a link. You send the link to whomever you'd like to send the file to.

Step 5. The receiver clicks on the link and then saves it onto the computer.

#3. External Storage Devices (USB)

Sometimes, the most straightforward solutions are the best. If you have to transfer a massive file in record time, an external hard drive or USB flash drive can do the job best. They are like portable storage containers for your digital stuff.

They come in all shapes and sizes, so you can pick the one that will suit you. If you are considering shifting a data load, an external, spacious hard drive will suit you best. Once you have your drive, the process is straightforward:

Step 1. Connect your external drive to your computer. 

Step 2. Find the large file you want to send and copy/paste it onto the external drive. It's just like moving a file from one folder to another. This time, it will go onto a separate device.

Step 3. Wait for the file transfer to complete.

Step 4. Physically disconnect the drive now and take it to the other computer.

Step 5. Place the drive in the target computer and copy that file across. And that's it!

#4. FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is the unique language used by computers to transfer files. It has been around forever, and it transfers large chunks of data.

It's harder to set up than other options. But it gives you a lot of control. It is very helpful if you have to send files to lots of people or have some technical computer skills.

Here's how it works:

Step 1. To connect by FTP, you will need a program known as an FTP client. You can download a free, popular client from FileZilla. After downloading, install it on both your computer and the computer to which you intend to send files.

Step 2. Connect to your FTP server by launching FileZilla and entering its connection details. You will get all of these from the server administrator.

Step 3. When connected, note that FileZilla has two windows. One displays the files on your computer, and the other shows the files on the FTP server.

Step 4. Select it, and now drag and drop the files you want to send from your window to the server window. Alternatively, right-click and click "Upload."

FTP is indeed a mighty way to transfer big files, though it may take some time to get used to. If you enjoy hands-on work and are not intimidated by a slight learning curve, FTP is the way to go.
