One minute you think you\u2019re about to deliver final files to your client, and the next you\u2019re staring at a warning message that your files are too large for your chosen cloud storage platform or file transfer limit. Ouch. Cancel your plans \u2013 you\u2019re gonna need a workaround. Fortunately, there\u2019s a better way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/massive.io\/solutions\/send-large-files\/\">Sending large files<\/a> by cloud has changed dramatically in recent years. Increasingly we\u2019re able to wave goodbye to expensive and IT intensive back-office transfer tools and logistically intense hard-drive shipping. (No more biting your nails tracking your courier, hoping your hard drive made it to its destination in one piece). Cloud transfer allows for all-important back-ups, cloud to cloud delivery and increases accessibility, all while freeing up precious time.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to finding the right cloud platform for your large video file transfers, the good news is that you have a wealth of options. The slightly-less good news is that almost all of them have hard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/glossary\/file-size-definition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">file size<\/a> limits that can wreak havoc when you\u2019re on a deadline. With video <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/glossary\/file-size-definition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">file size<\/a> s steadily climbing with the growing use of 4k and even 8k resolutions, that\u2019s a huge problem for filmmakers.<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s a busy filmmaker to do? The first step is knowing what\u2019s out there, what the limits are, and how to side-step them wherever possible.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.7&#8243; header_3_font=&#8221;Poppins|||on|||||&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;5px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Table of Contents:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#file-size-limits\">File Size Limits Comparison Table<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#dropbox\">Dropbox<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#onedrive\">Microsoft OneDrive<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#google-drive\">Google Drive<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#box\">Box<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#idrive\">IDrive<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#masv\">MASV<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_cta title=&#8221;Need to Send or Receive Large Files?&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/app.massive.io\/en\/signup&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Sign Up For Free&#8221; module_class=&#8221;starttrial&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_level=&#8221;h5&#8243; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#202332&#8243; background_color_gradient_start=&#8221;#3d72e7&#8243; background_color_gradient_end=&#8221;#202332&#8243; background_color_gradient_direction=&#8221;206deg&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_use_color_gradient=&#8221;on&#8221; button_bg_color_gradient_start=&#8221;#3d72e7&#8243; button_bg_color_gradient_end=&#8221;#53a0fe&#8221; button_bg_color_gradient_direction=&#8221;293deg&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;50px&#8221; button_use_icon=&#8221;off&#8221; button_custom_padding=&#8221;10px|42px|10px|42px|true|true&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/app.massive.io\/en\/signup&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;10px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;#3d72e7&#8243; border_color_left=&#8221;#3d72e7&#8243; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset2&#8243; box_shadow_horizontal=&#8221;-13px&#8221; box_shadow_style_button=&#8221;preset1&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; button_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; button_custom_padding__hover_enabled=&#8221;on|hover&#8221; button_custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|2em|||false|false&#8221; button_border_width__hover=&#8221;0px&#8221;][\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_text module_id=&#8221;file-size-limits&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.7&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>File Size Limits Comparison Table<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.7&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>There are hundreds upon hundreds of <a href=\"https:\/\/massive.io\/product\/storage-ingest\/\">cloud storage<\/a> providers out there, and we\u2019re willing to bet you already have your favorite.

Box<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps not quite as widely used as the Google Drives of the world, Box is still a very well-known cloud storage service trusted by 97,000 companies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform offers four different subscription plans, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.box.com\/en-ca\/pricing\/business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">three of which have unlimited storage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Coming in at $15 USD\/month is the Business plan, with a maximum size of five GB for a single file. Business Plus costs $25 USD\/month with a single file upload limit of 15 GB. That\u2019s the same upload limit as the Business Enterprise plan, ringing in at $35 USD\/month with extra perks including more monthly API calls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s how to send large files with Box:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sign in to Box and locate the large file you wish to share\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click \u201cShare\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click \u201cSend\u201d in the blue box that appears just below the file<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enter recipient email addresses in the popup that appears. Add an optional message if you wish, then hit \u201cSend\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no escaping it, though: upload limits of five to 15 GB are extremely limiting. But if you\u2019re committed to Box, fret not \u2014 the company says it will increase file size transfer limits in the near future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can you do until then? Along with zipping your files, you can also give those hefty files the chop using zipping and splitting or other techniques. This will split your zipped files into more easily transferable chunks. There\u2019s one big consideration, though: your client will receive the video in multiple files they then have to piece together themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=&#8221;idrive&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.7&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||17px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||22px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/massive.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/idrive-brand.png\" width=\"141\" height=\"62\" alt=\"IDrive Logo\" class=\"wp-image-128816 alignnone size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/massive.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/idrive-brand.png 300w, https:\/\/massive.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/idrive-brand-18x8.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 141px) 100vw, 141px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>5. IDrive<\/h2>\n<p>While IDrive gets <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/reviews\/idrive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stellar reviews from media such as PCMag<\/a>, there\u2019s one significant downside: it has a storage limit (250 GB to 12 TB, depending on the annual business plan). It\u2019s also relatively expensive: the ceiling is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idrive.com\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">50 TB, costing you $1,159.95 USD\/month<\/a>. (To find the monthly plans, go to the \u201cIDrive Business\u201d column. Scroll down and click \u201cMore Plans\u201d, which provides an additional price list with monthly tiers at the bottom.) Coming down a rung from 50 TB gets you 25 TB at $589.95 USD\/month \u2014 still a pretty penny, depending on your needs.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of file sizes, you can upload up to 2 GB using the IDrive web interface. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For files up to 10 GB<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you\u2019ll need to use the IDrive desktop application.
