How to send large files securely over the internet

Are you looking to  send large files securely over the internet but want to keep it away from the preying eyes then you are at right place.Although there is no full proof way to send the file securely over the web.I believe if you can’t risk it falling into other hands than it’s better to pass it personally (like what we see in most James bond movies).But however if it’s that’s not an option then here are some practical ways which will ensure that maximum security.Plus there is no limit like Google Docs or Dropbox you can Securely Send Large Files Free Up to 10GB.


Part 1 Encryption to  send large files securely over the internet

Start with Encrypting the file with password protection to transfer files securely.You don’t need a big programs to do this, simple compression software like winzip or 7zip can do that easily for you. Just make sure that password is big enough and contains combination of alphabets, numbers. and special symbols (something like this g];b[8ob^O[:CM”X). You can use strong password generator for better security.

Part 2 Send big files using bit torrent sync

Now once the file has been encrypted we need to think about the mode of transmission. This is place where hackers attack to get access to the file. To make sure network is secure I would recomended using bit torrent sync.Cloud services like dropbox and Google drive stores you file on their server.And if the hacker is able to penetrate in your network , then they can easily gain access to your cloud storage.
So it’s better to send files directly from your system to recipient system using peer to peer network. Bit torrent sync lets you sync share folder on both system without uploading it in third party server.And the best part is it’s available for all major platforms like windows, ios and android.
You can setup bit torrent sync from here.

Part 3  After Files are transfer securely transfer the password 

Once the file has been sent,the recipient will need password to unlock it.Here I would recommend you to send the password verbally rather than texting it to recipient but assuming the password  is very complicate to say over wire than send it inform of text. But instead of sending them at once  break down in small parts and then send it one by one.
Even the better way is to use self destructive messages.
There is nothing like 100% secure but if follow these these steps to transfer files
