Dropbox 和 Google Drive(Dropbox and Google Drive)等服务可以轻松地在网络上存储和共享文件，但它们也有局限性。例如，免费版的Google Drive仅提供 15GB 的存储空间（这对于免费服务来说已经很多了），而免费版的Dropbox则为用户提供了相对不足的 2GB 存储空间。
如果您需要传输超过 15GB 的大文件（例如编辑过的视频文件(video file)），那么这些服务都不会削减它。您需要的是专门的文件传输服务。本文将引导您了解几种在线传输大文件的最佳方式。
我们还将建议一些方法来简化大量数据的混洗。我们已经介绍了一些其他服务，以及一些用于发送大型视频的服务。我们还介绍了WeTransfer，这是一种移动大文件的专用方式。
媒体火(MediaFire)(MediaFire)
MediaFire是一个云存储系统(storage system)，可提供高达 50GB 的免费存储空间，其中 1 TB 的存储空间每月只需 3.75 美元。如果您有免费计划，则最大上传大小为 20GB，但此限制随着付费选项之一而消失。
MediaFire在各种设备上都有应用程序，因此您可以从移动设备和笔记本电脑在线传输大文件。
pCloud 是具有专用文件传输系统的云(file transfer system)存储服务(storage service)。也就是说，这是一个很棒的选择。上传大小或上传速度没有限制。如果您的互联网速度很快，您可以快速上传大文件，而不会因为服务设置人为瓶颈来节省带宽。
pCloud 还提供了多种功能，使其更具吸引力，例如能够将文件分布在多个服务中以确保它们的安全。
pCloud 提供免费试用，因此您可以测试该服务，但您需要订阅才能在此试用后继续使用该服务。订阅可以按月和按年计划，但如果您想省钱，请选择按年付款 - 总体而言可以节省几美元。
马斯夫(Masv)(Masv)
Masv是需要在线传输超大文件的人们的首选服务。它专为视频、大型图形和其他不适合电子邮件的大小的媒体而设计。由于能够移动大于 20GB 的文件，它在视频编辑和自由职业者中很受欢迎。在定价方面， Masv(Masv)也有些不同。
Masv不是订阅模式(subscription model)，而是按需付费服务。您将按每 GB 数据付费。虽然这看起来很昂贵，但它实际上有助于减少浪费性支出，因为您只需为实际使用的东西付费。
如果您想试用Masv，有 7 天免费试用，可为您提供 100GB 的免费数据传输。这是在不承诺的情况下测试服务的好方法。
FTP
如果您比大多数人更精通技术，那么FTP客户端始终是一种选择。文件传输协议(File Transfer Protocol)是移动数据的老派方式，但如今它更侧重于业务方面(business side)。
消费者FTP 使用(FTP use)的呼声并不高，这意味着可用的选项可能有点复杂。如果您想了解更多信息，我们有专门的 FTP 文章(dedicated FTP article)供您参考。
如何更轻松地传输文件(How To Make Transferring Files Easier)
许多人犯了以原始格式发送文件的错误，但这只会使任务变得更加困难。这里有一些减少大文件大小的技巧，这些技巧将使它们更容易传输并为您省去很多麻烦 - 而不会牺牲文件本身的质量。
通过压缩数据压缩数据(Compress Data By Zipping It)
有多种服务可用于将普通文件转换为.zip 文件(.zip file)。WinRAR和 7zip 不仅因其传奇的历史而闻名，还因为模因。让我们面对现实吧：真正的 1% 是那些为WinRAR付费的人。
您还可以在 macOS 中通过选择数据、右键单击并选择Compress来压缩数据。
将文件拆分成更小的部分(Split Files Into Smaller Sections)
如果您要将未完成的文件传输给编辑器，请询问您是否可以将文件分段发送。将一个两小时的视频分成 30 分钟的片段可能会产生 4 个不同的文件，但这些文件将比单个实体小得多。
这对于网络连接(internet connection)挑剔的人来说是一个特别有用的技巧；您想要的最后一件事是文件几乎在断开连接之前完成其传输整个过程。
检查文件类型(Check The File Type)
由于分辨率和质量(resolution and quality)的原因，某些文件类型(file type)比其他文件类型要大得多。虽然有时您无法避免使用高分辨率文件，但如果不是绝对必要，那么使用较小的文件类型(file type)可能是一种选择。
例如，JPG是一种如此流行的格式，因为它将数据压缩到了极致。缺点是它在这个过程中也会失去一些东西。另一方面，TIF是一种“无损”格式(” format)，不会导致伪影——但文件不会像JPG文件那么小。
付费与免费服务(Paid Versus Free Services)
在现代世界中，有大量服务可让您免费传输甚至是庞大的文件。在大多数情况下，使用这些服务没有缺点。付费服务确实提供了一些可能会吸引您的好处，特别是如果您想让事情变得简单。付费(Paid)服务也往往具有更高的传输率和更高的存储容量。
没有正确或错误的答案。如果您需要传输 15 到 20GB 之间的文件，您可能会使用免费服务，但大于该服务需要付费。评估在线传输大文件的最佳方式并选择适合您的方式。
The Best Ways to Transfer Large Files Online
Services lіke Dropbox and Google Drive make it easy to store and share files acrоss the web, but they have limitations. For instance, the free version оf Google Drive only provides 15GB of storage (which is a lot for a free ѕervice) while the free vеrsion of Dropbox gives usеrs a comparаtively lacking 2GB of stоrage.
If you need to transfer a huge file of more than 15GB (like an edited video file, for example) then neither one of these services will cut it. What you need is a dedicated service for transferring files. This article will walk you through several of the best ways to transfer large files online.
We will also suggest a few ways to make shuffling huge amounts of data easier. We have covered some other services already, as well as some for sending large videos. We’ve also covered WeTransfer, a dedicated way of moving big files.
MediaFire is a cloud storage system that offers up to 50GB of free storage, with 1 TB of storage coming in at just $3.75 per month. If you have the free plan, there’s a maximum upload size of 20GB, but this restriction goes away with one of the paid options.
MediaFire has apps on a variety of devices, so you can transfer large files online from your mobile devices as well as from a laptop.
pCloud is a cloud storage service that has a dedicated file transfer system. That said, it’s a fantastic option. There is no limit on upload size or upload speed. If you have fast internet, you can upload large files quickly without artificial bottlenecks placed by the service to conserve bandwidth.
pCloud also provides multiple features that make it even more appealing, like the ability to spread your files across multiple services to keep them safe.
pCloud offers a free trial so you can test out the service, but you will need to subscribe to continue using the service after this trial. Subscriptions are available in both monthly and yearly plans, but if you want to save money, go for the annual payment—it shaves off a few bucks overall.
Masv is the go-to service for people that need to transfer tremendously large files online. It’s designed for videos, large graphics, and other types of media that are not email-friendly sizes. It’s a popular service among video editors and freelancers because of the ability to move files larger than 20GB. Masv is also a bit different when it comes to pricing.
Rather than a subscription model, Masv is a pay-as-you-go service. You will pay per gigabyte of data. While that might seem pricey, it actually helps cut down on wasteful spending because you are only paying for what you actually use.
If you want to try out Masv, there is a seven-day free trial that gives you 100GB of free data transfers. It’s a great way to test the service without committing to it.
FTP
If you’re more tech-savvy than most, FTP clients are always an option. File Transfer Protocol is the old-school way of moving data around, but these days it is more focused on the business side of things.
There isn’t much call for consumer FTP use, which means the available options can be a bit on the complicated side. If you want to find out more, we have a dedicated FTP article you should look into.
How To Make Transferring Files Easier
Many people make the mistake of sending files in their raw formats, but that only makes the task more difficult. Here are a few tricks for reducing the size of huge files that will make them easier to transfer and save you a lot of hassle—without sacrificing the quality of the file itself.
Compress Data By Zipping It
There are multiple services available for turning a normal file into a .zip file. WinRAR and 7zip are both well-known not just for their storied history, but also because of the memes. Let’s face it: the true 1% are those that paid for WinRAR.
You can also compress data in macOS by selecting it, right clicking, and choosing Compress.
Split Files Into Smaller Sections
If you are transferring an unfinished file to an editor, ask if you can send the files in pieces. Breaking a two-hour video into 30-minute segments might result in 4 different files, but those files will be much smaller than a single entity.
This is a particularly useful trick for someone with a finicky internet connection; the last thing you want is for the file to almost finish its transfer before a dropped connection tanks the entire process.
Check The File Type
Some file types are significantly larger than others due to resolution and quality. While there are times when you can’t avoid high-resolution files, if it isn’t strictly necessary then using a smaller file type might be an option.
For example, JPG is such a popular format because it compresses the data to an extreme extent. The downside is that it also loses something in the process. On the other hand, TIF is a “lossless” format that doesn’t result in artifacting—but the files won’t be as small as JPG files.
Paid Versus Free Services
In the modern world, there are a huge number of services that allow you to transfer even gargantuan files for free. For the most part, there’s no downside to using these services. A paid service does offer a few benefits that might appeal to you, especially if you want to keep things simple. Paid services also tend to have higher transfer rates and higher storage capacities.
There is no right or wrong answer. If you need to transfer files between 15 and 20GB, you can likely use a free service, but larger than that will require a payment. Evaluate the best ways to transfer large files online and choose the one that’s right for you.
