Question

How can I transfer 100mb of data?

Community Answer

Many ways. A few options...Upload the file to a Google account via the "Google Drive". Search for a free FTP site and upload it there. Use a file splitting application and send it as smaller pieces. Mail it on a USB drive or similar device. Make the file smaller by using a zip utility such as "winrar".
