    I need to send a 733 MB video through email. I see some sites where I can buy a code to do that for a few bucks. Are these safe? Could someone post a link to one they have used, or show me a better way, Thanks Very Much.

    Unless it’s confidential, stick it in a Dropbox and email the link to people. Or if it’s really not private, upload it to YouTube.

    Thanks, I thought about Youtube, don’t have a channel and it’s a bit sensitive.
    I’ll try the dropbox.

    You probably have a cloud account somewhere you don’t use, like with your ISP or Amazon. Put it on there then give the password to the other party.

    With Dropbox, you don’t need to send a password — just share it and send a link, and the long link acts as a password.

    Yes, spd.
    I assumed that the OP is sharing with family like an in-law. If that’s the case, it’s convenient to use a cloud account that is otherwise sitting idle for that purpose. Easy to share back and forth.

    I assumed it was more of a business pitch or something 🙂

    Ok drop box actually appears to have worked fine.
    It wouldn’t upload to youtube without corrupting .

    The side of AWS (amazon) that I was on, opened a free account, is not for my skill level. Brian must have been referring to some amazon cloud-lite version.

    This is where I went and registered at Amazon

    Thanks again.

    Or Google Drive if 2GB of storage space is not enough.

    Yep — and you can use Link to Share so people don’t have to create a Scroogle account to view.

    With Amazon prime (not AWS), you get 5GB cloud.
    I share a prime account with friends and family, so when we have large file, we just put them on the cloud for people to fetch, then delete.

    Your ISP (cox/time warner) also gives free cloud storage. So you can use that too.

    Microsoft has onedrive. Apple has icloud, etc…
