    Sending Video Files

    Video files are quite large and I need to forward these to another rescue group. I cannot send them by gmail because they are too large.

    I thought that if I uploaded the video to my Flickr site that he could download the video by hitting the download arrow bottom left of the screen. Apparently this doesn't work.

    How can I send about 2-3 minutes of video to someone via email.

    The files need to be 1080P and editible so that he can add these to the YouTube video he is making.

    I am attempting to use Google Drive but it is taking an eternity to upload. One file is 103.13MB and the other is 970.05MB

    Why not load it via You Tube (send link for it in the email..) for a certain period of time until he can get it at his/her end, then pull it down after he acknowledged receiving it. That is what I do with the videos that I made that I want certain people to get from me..

    I use Dropbox for this type of issue. You can sign up and get a free account.

    Upload the video there and send the link to the person that needs to download it. Works quite well.

    I use Dropbox too. It is way better than trying to send large files via email.

    Richard I use box.com 10GB free. Also check your setting on your Flickr account you have the ability to allow or block people downloading your files.

    We have tried Dropbox (we use dropbox.com for storage of our rescue records so that the info will be accessible to all players).

    However when we tried to put a video (shot in AVCHD) it gets changed to MT2S and the quality is downgraded.
