Dropbox gives you up to 2 GB. and it's free.
Use the link below and we both get an extra 500 MB.

There is a 300MB limit for web based uploads. If you use their desktop "app" to establish a dropbox folder on your local system the only limit is whatever the account has available.

Have registered, so we should both get the extra space. :-) Playing with the app now, doesn't seem to be syncing the on-line folder to my Dropbox folder on my laptop.

If you have a website, create a folder in there and use FTP. However most servers have 4GB single file size limits.
That said, I also use Dropbox, 4Shared and SkyDrive .

Although folks are starting to use Dropbox more, an awful lot of folks have traditionally used YouSendIt, which comes in free and not free versions, but is not very expensive per year for the non-free version......which I use frequently for fairly big audio files.

Just realize that uploads will be double "CD file real time", while downloads will be one third, so there is roughly a 6 to 1 ratio between the two on a normal cable or DSL line.. "CD file real time" is roughly 600 megs per hour, so do the math.......2 hours up, 20 minutes down. If you have fiber, you can get better times on the upload, of course.

The positive thing about YouSendIt is that recipients need no software whatsoever....they just click a link that comes to them in an email. I started using YouSendIt when my recipients kept having trouble dealing with my ftp server, which was also not that expensive. It is possible to send them links that way as well, but I never knew how to do it, so.......

People have just been assuming what you mean when you said "Large file"

What is "large" to you may not be to someone else .. or visa-versa.

How large are you talking about?

Clicked on the Google drive link, and apparently I'm already registered! No explanation of how to use it though. I'm talking about files of up to half-a-Gig.
Ideally, I'd like to have a folder on-line that clients could upload to.

DB does this too.

I believe an app. is needed to access Google Drive. Unlike DB, 4S and SD, can be accessed directly though your favorite browser.
Google probably wants access to ALL your digital info,

Thanks Arthur. I got the notification from Dropbox.
