Sounds good, but I've already recommended them to use google drive or wetransfer (as previous recommendations pointed to them) but thank you, I'll keep an eye on it.

FTP, copy a link to it and include the link in an email. Most browsers can directly download from FTP.
You can even include username/password in the link, however, I'd most likely just add the file into an anonymous readable folder on the server.
Of course some of the cloud storage servers also has anonymous downloads. As far as I remember Google Drive is one of them that don't, but this is my major reason for still sticking with DropBox and Box - at least the recipient isn't "forced" to subscribe. Though they are bombarded by an add page when they click that link ... nope FTP and nothing else is as easy for the recipient and yourself as the sender.
You could add a HTTP download if you've got access to a web site, but that's more work on your side and not at all easier for the recipient than a FTP link.
And then depending on bandwidth normal snail-mail may actually be faster. Probably not with 1GB, but when you're nipping at the 1TB mark I'd definitely look into sending a disc by post / courier.

Hi Joan;
you can use wetransfer.

At the end the customer has used Google Drive (he has installed it in his computer) but this was already mentioned and looked by far the best option.

FTP
And send the customer a batch file that will upload their file for them.

Not an option here as I needed multiple folders and hundreds of small files inside...

Yes, that is what I ended up recommending to the customer.

I remember when the answer for much smaller amounts of data was "Federal Express."

It looked the easiest method, I had recommended that to the customer at the end, but he has decided to install Google drive...

If I tell the customer the word "encrypt" probably he would dismay...

Either Dropbox where he can send you a link to it and you can download or you can send him a file request and he will upload it directly into your own dropbox.
Another alternative would be Bittorent Sync, extremely easy to setup however you both need to have your system running at the same time for it to transfer the file across. My workaround to that problem is setting up Bittorent Sync on my always-on server so files will be transferred from the clients computer to the server and when you turn on your computer, it will download it from the server.

I wanted to avoid the need of installing anything... but those options are good too.

Most Services you pay for will let you share a link (Google drive, dropbox, AWS-S3)
I use S3 more these days, even thought it is a tad more complicated for me, but it lets me have a web link to the content specifically for that content, and easy for me to disable public reading. Storage is cheap. Tiny files go through drop box. Huge files through S3. Lots of big files in Google Drive where I can share the folder.
Sometimes it depends on the customer.
Remote access to their machine keeps my support costs low. Sometimes it is faster to put the file on their machine for them
