I was wondering whether it's realistic to use GPG on files this big (for example, whether it would be too slow), and found this warning that for files larger than 32 GB, one should use Twofish, AES, or Camellia rather than the default RSA-2048.
If you're going that route, you could always just use GPG to exchange a normal (symmetric) key

The scenario here is a largish B2B file transfer on a semi-periodic basis, no grandpas involved, but some limitations on the ability of staff to connect to any external third-party service like Mega. Even then, the files need to be encrypted before upload to any such site.
