Send Heavy Files

Heavy files—multi‑GB zips, dense datasets, bulky design packages—routinely bounce off email (often ~25MB) and clog consumer cloud free tiers. BoltShare is for sending heavy files without the split-zip ritual.

If it fits on your disk and both peers can stay connected, you can push it through a browser pipe.

Bypass email limits for heavy attachments

Stop attaching the file to email Email the BoltShare link instead of the payload.

Load the heavy file into BoltShare Single archive or many files—whatever you would have attached.

Let the receiver pull directly They get the real bytes, not a compressed mail gateway rewrite.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t I email heavy files?

SMTP providers enforce small attachment limits to protect mail infrastructure. A transfer link is the standard workaround—BoltShare supplies the transport for the actual file.

Can heavy files be sent to multiple people?

Each peer session is for the connected receivers in that share flow. For many offline recipients, a cloud fan-out tool may fit better; for one heavy handoff, BoltShare is ideal.

Will my antivirus scan the heavy file?

The receiver’s OS and security tools may scan on write, same as any download. BoltShare does not strip or re-pack your archive.
