I'm often in a situation where I need to move large files, like .ISOs, from my corporate device to various guest devices and accounts belonging to different organizations. Unfortunately, due to modern Windows endpoint policies, I can't use OneDrive or SharePoint on guest devices due to Conditional Access restrictions tied to my corporate tenant. This means I can't log into my Microsoft account on non-Intune enrolled devices. USB transfers are off the table since most places don't allow that anymore. I'm stuck using my personal OneDrive and Google Docs for these transfers, but both are really slow, and I've experienced issues in the past where the upload process corrupts the files. Plus, it's a hassle having to use my personal accounts for work-related file transfers.

If the guest sites have their own servers and you can set up an SSH server there, using rsync is a solid choice for transferring files securely and efficiently. For backing up a bunch of files to a cloud service, I heavily use rclone. It's great for continuous syncing between servers and daily backups.

You could consider setting up a web server that serves files securely over HTTPS. This way, you can manage it yourself and avoid using personal accounts for work. If you want something simpler, tools like FileSender or WeTransfer are good options, and if you have access to Azure, using an Azure Storage account can also be a reliable solution.

If budget isn't a huge concern, you might try MASV (massive.io). It's designed for transferring really large files and can handle everything from a few hundred gigs to multiple terabytes.

Honestly, why not just burn the files to a DVD and handle it the old-fashioned way? It's surprisingly effective for physical transfer. I also have a little web server that I use internally to route large files. It’s limited to our guest network when I enable it, so it keeps everything secure.

I definitely recommend WeTransfer for its ease of use. It's great for quick, large file transfers without the headaches of compatibility issues. Just make sure you're keeping an eye on the file size limits they have.
