<p>GPG Services is not really the right fit for files of this size. We do show a warning when users try to encrypt files larger than a certain limit, 150MB if I recall correctly.</p>
<p>Are you certain the encrypted file is intact? Have you managed to decrypt it before?</p>
<p>I would suggest to try decrypting the file using the command line</p>
<pre>
<code>gpg -d mydata.tar.gpg</code>
</pre>
<p>And make sure to allow a long time for this to finish. Although it's really hard to say if it will be successful. That file size is huge. A tool like VeraCrypt is probably more suitable for that use-case.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>
Steve</p></div>Steve
