Android The best practice to pass big object between activities?

I want to pass a big object(Parcelable) between two activities, what is the best practice for that? I can't use Intent because of the limitation of Parcelable:

android.os.TransactionTooLargeException: data parcel size 1002388 bytes

So, what is the best practice for that?

The best practice is not passing the whole object through activities or fragments transaction. Better approach to save a file into DB or any local folder and pass to Acitvity/Fragment the link to object (id from DB or URI to file).

val intent = Intent(this, MainActivity::class.java)
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_KEY_FILE_ID, fileId)
startActivity(intent)
