https://skysend.hns.siasky.net/ is a neat way to send up to 8 GB. Handles smaller files just fine as well.

We've transferred as much as 250 GB I believe using scp over the local network. But that was obviously between roommates.

You're probably right that once you're in the TB range, actually sending a drive is the way to go. Egress on Amazon is more expensive than buying and then shipping physical disks.

What is sia sky doing differently from Mozilla send? My understanding is that Mozilla send got overwhelmed by malware?

It's decentralized. For example, the exact same service exists at https://skysend.hns.skyportal.xyz, which is operated by a completely unrelated party. Links created on one will work on the other.

And you can run your own portal, code and instructions here: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/skynet-webportal (roughly a weekend of work to set one up at this point)
