How do I setup out site network to send large files?
I’ve used FolderShare to share files with my brother. It works through firewalls and with dynamic IP addresses, though to share large files, you’ll probably need to open a port (or let it do it via UPnP). They won’t have to do anything, firewall-wise, on their end. Initial setup is pretty straightforward. They’ll need to install a small app, create an account on the foldershare website, and point the app to a folder that will receive the files you transfer to them.
