Title: Site to upload large files (13GB)?
Post by: SgtSpike on April 17, 2012, 10:32:17 PM
I'm looking to upload a number of large files to be available for public download to those whom I give a link. I need to host files up to 13 GB. Mediafire is limited to 200MB, yourfilelink.com is limited to 5 GB, etc. I haven't yet found any free services for files over 5 GB. Any suggestions?

I haven't used it myself but I heard that adrive.com is good for a large amount of data.

Sorry, I should have specified - I am looking for a free solution.  This isn't for a business purpose, really, just a hobby, so I don't want to spend anything on it.

Only one of the files is over 10 GB... can split that up into two, but several of them are between 5GB and 10GB, so I'd prefer to not have to split those ones up.

scratch that - it looks like it has a 2gb size limit.

There does seem to be some sites that have larger limits though:

only 5GB there, for the time being anyway.

if you have an adequate upstream connection from a non-asshole ISP, you might just host it yourself.

I'm not splitting a 13GB file into 65 different files, but thanks for the suggestion.  ;)

Like I said, I did find a free service that allows files up to 5 GB, so I am currently splitting the files that need it into 5 GB portions, and will give that service a shot.
