Linux/Unix users could try "PeaZip" or "File Roller".Windows users can create a "compressed folder" or use 7-Zip.Mac users can select the files in the Finder and "Compress" (see the File menu).
There are many ways to archive and compress files:
Archive and compress the files into a single package and attach the resulting archive file on the drop-off page. Click on the "Add Files" button on the drop-off page, and select 1 or more files at once using combinations of click, Shift+click and Ctrl+click (Cmd+click on a Mac). Drag-and-drop multiple files at once onto the drop-off page. There are several ways in which a user can drop-off multiple files at once: That prompts the question: what is a drop-off?ĭrop-off: one or more files uploaded to BUtransfer as a single item for delivery to a person or people An outside user is only allowed to send a drop-off to an inside user. There are two distinct kinds of users that will be accessing the BUtransfer system: inside users, who are associated with the University running the service, and outside users, which encompasses the rest of the Internet.Īn inside user is allowed to send a drop-off to anyone, whether they are an inside or outside user. To share files larger than 1MB, use BUtransfer to temporarily make a file (or files) available to another user across the Internet, in a secure and efficient manner. For example, saving an Outlook message with an attachment adds up to 40% to the size of the file. Also, internet email clients add considerably to the size of the file being sent. 
In some cases, the download will fail repeatedly, breaking the recipient's ability to receive mail at all. Downloading such email messages can take hours on a slow Internet connection and block any sending or receiving of messages during that time. Email messages with large attachments can wreak havoc on email servers and end-users' computers.
