 Pedantry section: If you have a dockable tablet computer - I do - then the files are in the screen part, and the keyboard and trackpad probably can't contain files.  Also, you don't need scissors to separate them, there's usually a button to press or magnets or something.  And technically you probably could mail the tablet... but I usually wouldn't.  rja.carnegie@gmail.com [[Special:Contributions/162.158.154.31|162.158.154.31]] 21:54, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
 :If you start being pedantric... Google the meaning of the word "usually". Let's talk again afterwards. Also you do not need to (but I guess you are allowed to) put your email as a signature. If you want to be reachable/track your comments/etc. You can just easily register to this wiki, and then have your profile added instead of that random IP. I personally never recieved spam, etc. from this site. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 07:18, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
 I annually have to send several terabytes of data to a co-worker who needs to analyze and then retain it for some months. We snail mail SS hard drives around since we own them, and the data is originally accumulated on them. Short of switching to SD cards I am not sure there is a better way even in 2019....

-: Depending on how the data is accumulated, ongoing data synchronization is often how it's done in 2019, at least for businesses.  Every time data changes at point A, those changes are automatically (either immediately, or possibly nightly) sent (over an Internet connection, usually encrypted) to point B, so Point B is always close to being a clone of Point A (and the converse is also possible).  That way over a long period of time, terabytes worth of data can be transferred, because you are not trying to do it all over a short period of time, and only what's changed is transferred.  The initial transfer might still be done using a hard drive mailing, though, and this requires special software running on both sides, something the average user probably doesn't have.  On the other hand, ssh with encrypted tunneling, and rsync are free.
