Just a quick tip today:  I have to send large video files over the web all the time and in the last five years I’ve tried pretty much every method you could imagine.  There are a lot of file transfer sites that will let you send one small file, one time for free but those can get pretty frustrating.  After years of trial and error I think I have finally found my go-to transfer system:  Dropbox.  You can put up to 2GB of files into your personal Dropbox and other people can then download those files.  I even have a little icon in the top corner of my iMac so I can access my files at any time.  Like I said, you can store up to 2GBs so this method is perfect for transferring video contest entries.  Even in full HD, a 60 second video should be under 2GB.  But the best thing about Dropbox is the price; it’s free.  If you want to store more files you can pay to upgrade your account but I’ve just been sending my files and deleting them once they get picked up.  So next time you win a contest and the sponsors ask for the original video file, head here and give dropbox a shot.
