    Is the dropbox(very slow) the only way of sharing a large file.I have to send a folder to a freind in Finland and its 1GB.Its taking ages to upload

    Then I am going to give him my dropbox details to logon to download on his side.

    Advice please? :)

    Never give your username and password for any service that might contain personal information to anyone else. If you are using Dropbox, better to move the file to the Public folder and give him the URL for the file to download directly without logging into your account.

    It's still easier to give him a public link rather than asking him to login into your account and browse to the file.

    Its no slower and it doesn't give anyone else access to your account, family or not.

    Why didn't you just email the file bit my bit ;)


    btw, are you uploading 1GB on mobile data. Most likely not, but just on case you are. Be careful with mobile usage.

    Why doesn't he have Dropbox and you simply share a folder?
