Sharing Large Audio Files

Post by RoamingFrancis »

Hey everyone,

I'm currently trying to share a long voice memo (about a 1 hr conversation) from the iOS Voice Memo app to my Google Drive or email it to myself. Currently it says that it's too large of a file to send. Any tips?

Thanks!

Free soundcloud has a limit of 60 min of total upload so if it's under an hour that would work.

Dropbox is another possible option, but don't remember what the limits are before you have to pay. The limits are size rather than minutes. Depending on the original format, it may be possible to convert it to a more compressed audio format if the goal is to have it playable online as opposed to just downloading.

When I've sent big video files for interviews, it's usually been wetransfer (the easiest) or dropbox. With wetransfer, you just upload it and the receiver(s) get a link to download it (within X days). With dropbox (like googledrive), you have to manage access to the account and delete files yourself.
