Dropbox alternative for video file requests

[Dean Butler]

I'm working with a big company who needs to send out a link or file request for employees to send auditions to, so that they can't see one another's auditions. The files aren't huge as they're just recorded on their phones. Dropbox has exceeded it's bandwidth (I'm not actually sure how as barely anything has been uploaded)... Anyone have any suggestions of what service to use? Much appreciated if you do.

Look into Pcloud. My company uses it for this same type of file request, and it works great for that purpose.

Not for sure if it’s the right set up for what you’re looking for but you could look into WeTransfer.

You can try SENDGB which gives you up to 5GB free file uploads with links that last 7 Day before they are deleted and no longer functional.

We typically use WeTransfer.

We use WeTransfer, DropBox/Box, and Google Drive, depending on the client. We also are all too familiar with overnighting hard drives, which can sometimes be more cost effective if you calculate in the opportunity cost of spending time uploading, etc.

Another tip I will throw out there is that Vimeo allows you to make your source file downloadable to the viewer, which allows us to deliver that link as the final download deliverable. Can be nice is you have a larger ProRes final product.
