How to transfer large files between PC's
I have multiGB files on my C drive that I need to transfer to C drive on another PC. I dont have much room in dropbox so I cant transfer through dropbox. Is there any other way. Thanks

Hello @naushwin10,
You could buy anExternal Drive
[ 2, 3, 4, 5 TB for example ] andCopy
the files across. This will also leave the ORIGINAL files intact if there is a problem during the Copying process. Then you could obviouslyCopy
the files across to the other PC.
There are other solutions such as setting up aLocal Network
to transfer the files etc.
I hope this helps.

Why not just connect both pcs with an ethernet cable.
This is the fastest way for sure. You will need to set up network shares as well.
