Best way to send large files (~100mb) to people online?

[TheVoice]

dropbox is not the easiest, as far as i am concerned, instal utorrent, and drop you file into the box bottom left, it will creat a torrent you can send to your mate, then he uploads it straight from you.

saves having to get it online first, then let him download it, also is far more secure

Are you high? How is that easier?

Dropbox.

Upload, Send link. Chill.

The easiest and fastest way is to upload it to your own FTP, and then send them the link.
If you're too ***** to have your own webspace you could use Dropbox, but it's a good bit slower.

Megaupload. Oh, wait.

dropbox, skydrive, google drive......quite a few. or just rar split it and send it in smaller files via email?

How on earth is it slower? Dropbox uses aws s3 so it's pretty speedy. Also if the file is already hosted by Dropbox, by any user of Dropbox it doesn't even bother to upload it. This makes sharing files which are fairly common very very quick.

100MB is considered large now?

Dropbox.

 

[MisChief]

yousendit also works well

Can only send up to 50mb files I think.

I've always found that both upload and download on Dropbox are slower than my FTP. Maybe I'm just a fluke!

Google drive much. Better than dropbox

You essentially do this with the web hosting services, OP doesn't mention having web space so the suggestion whilst valid is possibly pointless.

Dropbox etc are far simpler solutions.

Do you have to download dropbox to use it?

 

[Tikkabhuna]

Nope, you can upload from the website.

Edit: For uploads and downloads you can use the website. The program handles all the syncing of your local Dropbox folder.

need to check this dropbox everyone on about lately cheers

 

[MikeHunt79]

Mediafire.

+1, it seems the best out of the free file hosts IMO

I went with dropbox in the end. Did the trick. Only problem was that I had to download the programme and it adds stuff to your right-click menu.

It is when the biggest email attachment you can send via hotmail is 25mb.

Should have listened to me then.
