# 3.10 Splitting a File or Folder Into Pieces

If you have a file or folder that’s too large to easily transfer using removable storage or a network, you can use DropDMG to split it into several smaller pieces:

1. Set DropDMG’s configuration to use a compressed `.dmg` format.
2. Use the Limit segments to __ MB option to enter the maximum size for any piece.
3. Drag and drop the file or folder onto DropDMG. DropDMG will create files with names such as `file.dmg`, `file.002.dmgpart`, and `file.003.dmgpart`.
4. After you transfer all the pieces, make sure that they are in the same folder, then double-click the `.dmg` file to access the original file or folder.
