File-Sharing Programs for Sending Movies with Large File Sizes

If you made a home movie for your cousin's birthday party, you can directly upload it in Youtube, Vimeo, or Facebook. However, there are times that you want to keep your videos private and unavailable in any online video platform. At the same time, your family members, relatives, and friends may each want a copy of the actual video file without having to both download and convert a file coming from a video-sharing website like Youtube.

In such case, a free file-sharing program that can handle large files becomes handy for you. This way, any recipient, techie or not, can readily download videos without the hassle of doing file conversions, which may result to downgraded video resolution after these files are converted. This is also an ideal way to send and receive original files when in between different places without resorting to publishing the videos online.

Pando
