Exchanging Large Files with External Partners

Exchanging large files with external partners can be "business as usual" or a long, painful experience. If your company doesn't provide an easy way for external partners to send you large files, they are going to find other methods. Your partner may have no choice but to use a free or low-cost cloud solution available over the Internet. However, your IT department may have blocked access to cloud file-sharing websites like Dropbox, Hightail, or Wetransfer to avoid security issues. These types of solutions can open your system up to access that you have no control over and no way to track which files are transferred by whom. When company-provided technology comes up short, employees regularly turn to consumer-grade tools to share large files.
