How to Send Large Files Without Compressing Using GoodSend

Overview

Sending large files without compression is easy with GoodSend. When you need to maintain the original quality and format of your files - such as high-resolution videos, design files, or detailed presentations - GoodSend allows you to transfer files up to 10GB without any compression or quality loss.

Why Send Without Compression?

Compressing files can sometimes result in quality degradation or format compatibility issues. Common scenarios where uncompressed transfers are preferred include:

  • Design assets that require precise color accuracy
  • Medical or technical images requiring full resolution
  • Legal documents that must maintain original formatting
  • Audio files where sound quality is critical

Troubleshooting Tips

Issue: Credit card payment not processing Solution: Ensure your card details are correct and try again, or use a different card.
