"Boxed in" :(

[Beemer]

I use a free account at box.com for uploading audio and images and these can be previewed by those to whom I email a link.   I thought I would be able to upload my PTE AV Studio MP4 files and that I could similarly give links to others.  Not so it seems, as my account does not allow anyone to preview or download a MP4 or any video file.

Would anyone else using box.com confirm if my understanding is correct?

Hi Ian

I have no experience with BOX.COM, but can advise using the free service of www.grosfichiers.ch (4 GB max) or www.WeTransfer.com (2 GB max), provided the short retention period (1 or 2 weeks) is long enough to allow downloading by your correpondants.

Thanks for the link to grosfichers.  I'm also trying to use my NAS to allow those with access rights to preview or/and download MP4.

I had a very large file to transfer and I found 'myairbridge'. I think it has a max of 20Gbs. (free)

Gary,

Wow! 20GB was that you that made "Parasite" 

Thanks for the tip

Ian, just another idea.

When I need to send *.EXE files, I often have to rename the file as a gentle *.TXT file to fool the mail system. Once received, the *.TXT file has to be renamed to what it actually was with the original filename extension.  You probably could do the same with your *.MP4 files, as long as there is not a stringent file size limitation with BOX.  Worth a try?

Interesting!  I'll give it a try,

Ian
