Have you ever wanted to share some music, photos or files online ? Say for example, you have some birthday videos and photos and you want to share with your selected set of friends and not with the whole internet by uploading large files, then what is the easiest solution to share large files with selected set of friends ?
There are many tools for sharing large files, but I have selected the best around the web, which is easy to use, having a great support and all together awesomeness.
1. Opera Unite -
Opera Unite is a technology platform allowing you to share content directly with friends, without having to upload anything to a Web site. Opera unite is nothing but a web server which is running inside your web browser. Opera Unite is free, and you can instantly share directories of any size.

Dropbox is an excellent way to share files across computers, has a 2GB limit of storage for free accounts. All you need to do is, just create a dropbox account, install drop box on your computer (Free for Windows, Mac, Linux, and iPhone). Put your files into Dropbox folder.

File size limit on FilesOverMiles is not unlimited. The application is based on flash and flash itself limits file transfer to the size of RAM. So if the sender has a GB of ram, he can only send a GB. A receiver however can only receive files half the size of the available memory. This applies only to Adobe Flash and in turn, to FilesOverMiles.
I’ve been using DropBox in the past and loving it. The fact that it automatically syncs with your version in the computer is the best part of all
All methods listed here are browser based ones, which is not a good option for larger files. Well, depending on what you call large file, i don’t call 100MB a large file.
For example i take a photo session with a 8MP panasonic. Each photo has 2,5MB. IF i have 400 photos this means 1GB. It is very hard to upload that amount with the browser.
I always edit files before to get their size at around 500KB so i can hardly send the 200MB file.
You can use Opera unite for transferring bulk photos, it is the best method
I will definitely give it a try.
