I have two computers with Windows 10. Preferably the simplest option, so that at the other end people with minimal IT competence can figure it out

USB flash drive
if they have minimal capacity for installing/configuring/using software, then sending a USB drive via the postal service should be a strong contender
Syncthing or rsync?
Syncthing is not a good solution for a one time transfer. It is likely slower as the other solutions here.
Sneakernet was made for this exact situation.
Syncthing? Never used it on Windows but they do have a client so it should work. That’s the simplest I can think of.
OK I’ll try
I recommend https://wormhole.app for the purpose. Drag, drop, leave the tab open.
Haven’t used it but it says right on the page you linked only up to 10 GB. Op wants 30 GB, I guess its not possible to split.
I think that limit (previously 5GB) is for files that they’ll store for you. Larger transfers are P2P only.
2p2? P2P?

The easiest I’ve ever used is https://localsend.org/
Very simple, just open it on both computers, select the file and click the other computer.
Check out QuickDAV. I think it’s exactly what you’re looking for. If you’re going across the internet, you’d have to forward a port from your router. Otherwise, if you’re on the same network, it’s really simple.
Open the file in a text editor and email the results
Per rule #3, this seems to be a general home computing question and not centered around self-hosting. Please consider adding details to clarify how this involves self-hosting.
If you can RDP, just copy and paste the file from one computer to the other.

Can we talk about how utterly absurd it is that there isn’t an obvious answer to this question yet? Feels like we’ve gone backwards from the AIM Direct Connect of old.
