Split and Zip: In addition to splitting files you can also use data compression before you upload. Probably always a good practice, however in lossless data compression some files may realize little or no reduction in size. Your mileage may vary.

There is another advantage to compressing a file; you can password protect the zipped archive. Depending on the nature of the files you move password protection may be reason enough to zip your files. Just keep in mind that if someone does come into possession of your zipped and password protected files, if they really want to crack your password they can. Even if you use a hard password given enough time they can use brute force methods to crack your password.
