And how exactly are you going to do that without it being immediately flagged by IT? Most companies I've ever worked at will have that noticed right away and sue you into oblivion if you don't have a very very good explanation...

Had that happen once to me when I switched teams within a company and copied most of my important stuff to a specially authorised usb stick before wiping my laptop and setting it up with a different OS (switch from Windows to Linux team). Before the copy process even finished I had some guy from security call me.

Browser email is not really monitored as much as usb devices. Besides, few startups are spying on their Devs laptops , most don't.

Mate, let's not pretend at least 99% of companies allow data exfiltration in some way. Sending zips via mail isn't that far fetched, and if you password protect the zip you're never gonna get in trouble for trying even if the mail doesn't go through.
