    Hey Geeks, I need your assistance.

    Can you tell me of the best way you know how to transfer larger files over the internet. Maybe a couple of gigs large.

    Do you know of any file transfer system which which will allow you to transfer large files over the internet and give then transferee, confirmation of file transfer / delivery?

    Thank you fellow Geeks!:major

    I use Drobox myself, but I'm not using large files. The free version gives you 2gb to start with, and the more devices you link to it the more you will be able to use. I upload to dropbox, send the link to the receiving person to download it, then delete off of Dropbox and upload something else. There may be better services out there, but this has served me well and the people receiving don't need to learn new routines every few months (which is why I stopped using Microsoft's Skydrive, things kept changing).

    Some services limit you on size per file. Dropbox doesn't. If you have 3gb of space and have a 3gb file, you can use Dropbox.

    I put large files on goggle drive. It has a 7GB limit for storage and this includes email. I never keep much email so my drive has lots of room to upload a few large files. I then select who I want to share the file(s) with and send them a link so they can download the file(s). I ask that they let me know when they have gotten the file so I can remove it and gain back more storage.
