How to send a file over 50 GB
Send it through a service built for very large single files, and plan the upload: 50 GB takes about 7 hours at 20 Mbps. Google Drive takes files up to 5 TB but caps uploads at 750 GB a day; on a Yungle paid plan one transfer can be as large as your storage, and uploads resume.

Questions, answered.
Ask us something elseHow long does 50 GB take to upload?
About 7 hours at 20 Mbps and 1 hour 24 minutes at 100 Mbps. On a fibre line with 500 Mbps up, under 20 minutes.
Is a browser upload safe at this size?
It is if the service resumes interrupted uploads. Some cloud drives warn that very large browser uploads can time out and recommend their desktop app instead.
Can I send it from the command line?
Yes. Yungle has a command-line tool that uploads a file or a folder without keeping a browser tab open, useful for overnight uploads from a server.
