    Many VPNs can help with this. OneDrive can as well, though I'm not fond of it. I use Dropbox on the daily and constantly transfer files between two different system laptops on my desk.

    I’ve got a dedicated external SSD partitioned just for raw footage and project archives—things that need to move between my home studio and a collaborator’s office network. We use Resilio Sync for peer‑to‑peer transfers, but the real headache is when a client needs a signed document or a scan from an older job and doesn’t have any modern sharing setup. That’s when I end up using a mobile fax app like mFax to send a PDF directly from my phone; it’s saved me more than once with old‑school medical or legal offices that still rely on fax machines. For large files across networks, a NAS with SFTP or a cheap USB shuttle drive honestly works better than overcomplicating it. Just keep an encrypted backup and verify checksums after every big move—corruption hurts more than slow speeds.

    oh

    Yeah, I keep a dedicated local NAS drive set up on a high-speed network for moving large media archives around our team without hitting cloud bandwidth limits. We work heavily with uncompressed audio, and raw session exports can easily get out of hand in size. When someone needs a smaller file for quick previewing or sharing across external channels, being able to quickly convert WAV file formats to FLAC or MP3 without losing structural metadata saves us massive transfer time https://files.wiki/file-extension/wav . Storage is cheap, but keeping a structured vault with a solid conversion pipeline is a total lifesaver for team workflows!
