    Sending Excel Files

    I need to transfer a bunch of separate excel files and would like to know what method you think is best for easy file transfer. When I say a bunch, it can sometimes be on 15 or 20 but other times it can be more than 50 files at a time. Thanks for your ideas

    Zip them up into one file and send that.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Thanks. To provide additional detail I also need to send these files in a secure manner and general email after zipping them won't suffice. If you can provide additional details that'd be great. Also, interested in being able to monitor file status and track transfer history over time so I can keep track of everything in a comprehensive manner.

    Use a file sending service like Hightail, which can be integrated into Outlook.

    Your location in England made me think of the file transfer service Ipswitch! They do file transfer, but I think you have to pay for it. WeTransfer does free secure transfers for up to 2gb, but download speeds can be slow on their servers, so you should consider how large your file will be. Consider setting up a private torrent and that should be as secure as any other option. Once you stop seeding it, the file won't be available to anybody. Also, give Innorix a try, believe they have both free and paid versions of what you might need. Cheers

    Zip the files either in batches or singly and use a password. Upload to an online service like Dropbox, OneDrive or similar service. Send a message to the receiver giving the location and password. You can separate the location and password into separate emails if you question the security of your communications. This will allow the receiver to download the files as they need them.
