What is chunked upload?

Chunked upload splits your file into 5 MB segments that upload independently. If your connection drops, only the current chunk retries instead of the entire file. This makes large uploads reliable on slow or unstable connections.

EasySend uses chunked uploads for reliable large file transfer.

How It Works

Your file is split into 5 MB chunks in the browser
Each chunk uploads independently
Progress bar shows each chunk completing
If a chunk fails, it retries automatically
Once all chunks arrive, the server assembles the file

Why It Matters

On a slow or unstable connection (mobile data, hotel WiFi, rural broadband), a 500 MB upload without chunking would fail and restart from zero if the connection drops for even a second. With chunking, only the 5 MB chunk in progress needs to retry.
