Password protection and expiration dates (up to 30 days). No registration is required. Part 3: Safety Tips for Digital Assets
The first technical hurdle is file size. Modern VFX assets, including high-poly models, texture maps, and medical scan data, routinely exceed the attachment limits of standard email servers (often 10-25 MB). Even a compressed .rar file containing a software build like Plasticity 0.9.21 could easily balloon to 500 MB or more. Free, public-facing solutions must therefore bypass these limits. Consumer-grade cloud storage platforms—Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Dropbox—offer the most accessible solution. By uploading the .rar to a free tier (typically 5-15 GB of storage), a user can generate a shareable link. However, "free" often comes with caveats: download speed throttling, expiration dates (e.g., 7 days for WeTransfer’s free plan), and limited bandwidth.
