Why do you need a different package to send files over 50 GB?
SendGB Exceed’s smaller package allows 50 GB. It costs €2.99. Although the title mentions 50 GB, this page covers transfers over 50 GB. They won’t fit in the 50 GB package. A 62 GB day’s shoot won’t fit.
The free 5 GB allowance isn’t even a tenth of this card’s size. Splitting it across ten links splits the editing job into ten parts. We don’t combine them.
| Package | A 62 GB card |
|---|---|
| Free 5 GB | Won’t fit |
| Exceed 50 GB, €2.99 | Won’t fit |
| Exceed 200 GB, €4.99 | Fits, no membership, 7 days |
| Extra | Fits depending on the package, up to 1 year |
| Split into ten parts | Parts aren’t combined |
The example above totals 62 GB: two long clips, audio, a photo archive, and shoot notes. It is one folder.
Raw files stay at their original size
A camera card’s value lies in the original footage. Converting it to a viewing copy before sending is a different kind of delivery. We don’t create that copy. MOV and WAV files download unchanged.
| Viewing copy | Original camera card | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Quick review | Editing |
| Size | Small | Tens of GB |
| Color | May have color adjustments baked in | Unchanged |
| Created by | You | The camera |
| What we do | We don’t create it | We don’t compress it |
The specific requirements for raw footage are on the raw footage page. For a 20 GB editing folder, see files over 20 GB. To send large footage archives over 100 GB, see files over 100 GB.
One day or every week
Exceed 200 GB is enough for a single wedding or one day’s shoot. It costs €4.99. The code can be used once and is valid for 1 year. SendGB Exceed transfers stay available for 7 days. Recipients don’t need an account.
If you fill a card every week, Extra is more suitable. Depending on your package, the transfer limit goes up to 500 GB. Storage goes up to 1 TB. SendGB Extra keeps files for up to 1 year. Annual pricing starts at €29.90.
| Job | Choice |
|---|---|
| 62 GB, one time | Exceed 200 GB |
| 180 GB, one time | Same package, under 200 GB |
| One 250 GB file | Exceed 1 TB or a higher-tier Extra package |
| 60 GB per shoot | Extra |
| 4,000 small clips | Stops at 2,500 files |
Check the file count on your card
Two long clips aren’t a problem. If you also copy thousands of short files and previews from the card, the 2,500-file limit will stop the transfer even if you stay within the size limit. Include the files needed for editing. Set the small previews aside. If you create a single ZIP, we don’t open it. Names are preserved when the entire folder is downloaded.
| What’s on the card | What happens |
|---|---|
| Two long clips | Within the file count limit; size is the deciding factor |
| Thousands of individual frames | Stops at 2,500 |
| One ZIP | Counts as one file; we don’t open it |
| Empty folder | Not uploaded |
If you enter your email address, you get one notification when downloading starts. This notification does not confirm that the entire card has been downloaded. Don’t split footage over 50 GB.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 50 GB Exceed package enough?

How does the 200 GB package work?
No membership is required. The code can be used once and is valid for 1 year. The link stays available for 7 days. You can send up to 200 GB in a single transfer. A card over 200 GB won’t fit. You’ll need SendGB Exceed 1 TB for €9.99 or a suitable Extra package. Free transfers up to 250 MB stay available for up to 90 days. Free transfers over 250 MB stay available for 7 days.
Do you reduce raw file sizes?
No. MOV, raw video, and WAV files download unchanged. We don’t convert them to JPEG. We don’t adjust color. You create any preview clips separately. We don’t estimate file size in GB from footage duration.
What happens if I split the card in two?
The editor opens the project with an incomplete card. The recipient has to guess which part is missing. We don’t combine the parts. Send one link.
Can lots of short clips exceed the limit?
The file count can stop the transfer even if you stay within the size limit. Extra and Exceed have a limit of 2,500 files. A few long clips fit. Thousands of individual frames on a card can hit the file count limit. Leave small frame files out of the transfer or combine them into one archive. We don’t open the archive.
Can Extra handle this size?
Yes, depending on your package. The per-transfer limit goes up to 500 GB. Storage goes up to 1 TB. SendGB Extra keeps files for up to 1 year. Annual pricing starts at €29.90. If you send files this size every shooting day, Extra is more suitable. For a single day’s transfer, Exceed 200 GB is more suitable.
Should I use email or ship a physical drive?
Email stops at 25 MB. Files this size can’t be attachments. A physical drive is a separate option when your internet connection isn’t sufficient or the job exceeds 1 TB. A 62 GB transfer fits in one link. We don’t promise shipping times.
Why is a 20 GB editing project on a different page?
A 20 GB transfer fits within Exceed 50 GB. Anything over 50 GB does not. A raw camera card often exceeds that threshold. An editing folder and a camera card contain different sets of files.
Does a download notification mean the entire card has been downloaded?
No. If you enter your email address, you get one notification when downloading starts. With email delivery, you are notified once per recipient. With link delivery, you are notified once per transfer. This notification does not confirm that the entire clip has been downloaded.
Does 100 GB also fit in the 200 GB package?
Yes, transfers under 200 GB fit. A single file over 200 GB does not. That threshold is beyond the scope of the 100 GB page and requires the 1 TB package. No account is needed to download.
Send a download link for footage over 50 GB, not an email attachment
You can send a 62 GB card with SendGB Exceed 200 GB for €4.99. The 50 GB package isn’t enough.
