Best Large File Upload Site?

[Briandl79]

I need a site that I can upload a file that is about 200mb so that my friend can download it. Can anyone recommend a site they've used for larger files?

Try Dropbox.

I've used SkyDrive and Dropbox both for sharing files. I mainly use Dropbox though. There are tons of other out there. Rapidshare, Hotfile, etc., but I can't say I've uploaded anything to them.

Mediafire. (Recommended, can host up to 200 mb)

Megaupload. (Recommended after Mediafire, it does let you resume your downloads)

Rapidshare.

Not if you pay ;)

For me, I used to use yousendit.com. Not sure how it is now since I use Dropbox. Works a treat.

Use Megaupload and forget anything else.

http://www.megaupload.com/

1GB files work fine, download 1MB/s or more for free users, works fine EVEN without paying anything. :)

If you will constantly delete what you share, Dropbox would do you good, I guess.

Megaupload.com and if you must, you can split your file into multiple small parts with 7-Zip

Megaupload has no client as far as I am aware though? I love the idea of having an icon on my desktop I can just drag and drop files too that seems way to easy to be using a web interface! Do you agree?

Then Your best bet is Dropbox. Just drag files into the Dropbox Public folder, right lick an select get link. Give that link to your friends. Thats it!

Um thats you just being too lazy to get referrals, etc. I currently have 5GB of space for FREE.

And the limit of the file size is based upon your total storage available

https://www.dropbox.com/help/5

Is there a limit or maximum to how big my files can be?

Files uploaded to Dropbox via the desktop application have no file size limit.

Files uploaded through the website (by pressing the upload button) have a 300 MB cap. In other words, each file you upload through the website must be 300 MB or less.

All files uploaded to your Dropbox must be smaller than the size of your Dropbox account's storage quota. For example, if you have a free 2 GB account, you can upload one 2 GB file or many files that all add up to 2 GB. If you are over your storage quota, Dropbox will stop syncing until you are below your limit.

edit: BTW with sharing with friends -- you can also share folders between dropbox accounts vs public share link.. Ie my sons are both away at school - I have a matt folder and a sean folder.. Whatever I put in those folders shows up in their dropbox -- and they have it on their machine.. No need to even go download anything - it auto downloads it to their machine when I put anything in those folders. Same goes if they need to send me something.

And when move it out of the folder - then I know they have gotten it, etc. Because it deletes it from my folder.

I wound up using dropbox. I was actually looking for something that wouldn't require an account or a client but my friend was cool with setting everything up so it was no problem.

Thanks again.

Depositfiles.com is good. No downloading software required, no signup required. Up to 2 GB and files always stay as long as someone downloads within 30 days.

You friend doesn't need a client just for future reference. If you drop the file into your public folder it creates a public link. Right click the file go to get public link and voila!
