Thunder Lips Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 hi everyone  i filmed a 17 minute video on my iphone a few days ago, now ive put this on my laptop, but whats the best way/site to use to upload this so a friend of mine can download the video its 1.26gb in size, i spent about 8 hours yesterday uploading it to megaupload on for a message to come up when it was done to say i need to buy a premuim account for this upload to count, any advice would be great thanks!
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted June 28, 2011 Awards Moderator Posted June 28, 2011 I'd recommend using Dropbox. You can copy the file as you would do to a folder on your PC, only in to the public folder which your mate can then access and grab the file.
Thunder Lips Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 brilliant thank you how do i do this? sorry im abit rubbish on the old techno side of things  sorry just seen you linked it cheers
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted June 28, 2011 Awards Moderator Posted June 28, 2011 No worries. Just click the link in my post above yours and download Dropbox. Once it's installed (doesn't take long), there's a public folder in there which you can save the file in. When you open the public folder, there's a setup document provided as standard which tells you step-by-step how to share the file. It's a doddle, even for those not the best with computers. Â EDIT: never mind!
Thunder Lips Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 ive installed it, added my video to a public folder right clicked and copyed link but the link is saying 404 error, am i doing something wrong? cheers
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted June 28, 2011 Awards Moderator Posted June 28, 2011 It sounds like you've done it correctly. I've just made sure it works and had no problem opening a public link. It might be worth asking your friend to install Dropbox, too, so then you don't need to copy public links but instead can create a shared folder which you can both access and drop files in to without using the link option.
Thunder Lips Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 Thanks again mate I realised I had not given it enough time to sync it was neally done then had a power cut so will atempt again in the morning!
