How do I upload a theme to shopify when it is larger than than shopify allows?

I purchased a theme that is over 150 mb for shopify. When I tried to upload it to shopify, it said the file was too large. I then unzipped the files to see if there was some smaller file that could be uploaded. Sure enough, it looks like the theme has several versions, however they are all over the size limit for shopify. Any suggestions?
