Big files

Me and Drift were having problems swapping large files on line the other week and had to settle on burning to disc and posting.... :thumbdown:

But I found:

http://www.wetransfer.com

It's free and you send up to 2gb at a time on line :thumbup:

perfect for swapping your 4x4 content :wink:

HI.
I use dropbox, you can set up a free account then just copy what you want into it.

To share, just add a folder an give details of the other persons dropbox account. Drag files into the folder and they will miraculusy appear on the othe persons PC.

Can join here ( short link )

We have to use Yousendit at work for HMRC crap due to the file sizes.

How big were the files?

Drop box sounds good.
I like we transfer because you don't even need to sign up :shock:

takes about 15 seconds to ad your files ( up to 2gb worth) and the sit back whilst it uploads the (2gb does take a while mind) all you need is the recipients e-mail address :thumbup:

i use bulletproof ftp server and client so you can send files as large as you like,but its not free,there is a few ftp programs out there though,the one ive tested and found to be good and easy to use is filezilla,here is the link to both server and client http://filezilla-project.org/

Cool beans. Is it any quicker if you pay for it? like I said 2GB takes an age but it is free so you can't complain. Me and Colley have used wetransfer a few times to send each other pictures and vids of our last laneing trip. Very useful

If I wasn't that lazy boss I would do just that :lol:

I use this ... no file size limit ... free (ignore the adverts) and no sign up.

Just enter the respondants email address and he will get a notification email and all he has to is hit the link to download the file. I use it all the time at work to send mega huge CAD drawings.

Hi,

Just a couple of points.. All good methods of transfer, though bare in mind :-

These are public servers/services. Do not use them to transfer sensitive/personal information unless you encrypt it first or are happy to have it "in the public domain" / open to all. Just because you have to login does not secure the data.
