What is the best way to send 11 mpg files?

Hello.

What is the best way to 'submit' 11 mpg files, with a fixed fee job?

Say if I have finished my video edits and I want to submit them, what is the best way to do that?

In all, the 11 files mpgs are about 1.5GB. I think they probably would send, as I sent watermarked versions via the UW messaging system before, but I am conserned that it is a lot of data to send as a 'work submition' and it might complicate the purchase if something gets disconected? This is through a fixed contract so not hourly rates. Is sending with a file transfer service permitted, such as wetransfer?

Also another question, do people send watermarked content for appoval via UW messaging? Is this a good idea?

Best regards

Julian

I don't use UpWork to send files.

I use GoogleDrive (any other uploading service works just fine, my preference is ggldrv) and share those links with my client.

WeTransfer is allowed.

I don't have a need to watermark.

When I'm working through UpWork, milestone I'm working on is funded. I just send my client files and they realise funds.
Not bothered/worried that they'll "steal" my work as, when I've finished my work, I can request milestone funds to be released.
