File size greater than 10gb

Hi-- I have a massive Desktop File that is larger than 10gb.  Because of the complexity of the data model and the volume of data-- I really do not want to try to tweak the file itself.  I am wondering if there is any way to either reduce or compress the file further?  Is there any way for me to post the file to the web, onedrive, or sharepoint despite their 10Gb file size limits?

Hi @10119166 ,

By my research, I'm afraid that there is no other good ideas for your scenario.

Maybe you could divide your big file into small ones and then you could publish it to power bi service.

Best  Regards,

Thank you for your idea.  Other than breaking up the data model-- is there a way to only publish a certain set of tabs that could still be edited by end users?  This tool is meant for multiple audiences and there is information contained in dedicated tabs for each of these individual descrete groups.
