Best Way to Share Video

[godslamb]

I am trying to decide what the best way is to share videos and photos with my friends back home. They are going to be expecting videos and photos regularly. I looked into dropbox, but I only get 2 GB of space. Would the iCloud be better (I will be using my iPod)? I don't have it connected to my phone service provider, so I am not able to use Verizon's cloud storage.

Thanks for your help!

Have you had a look at tumblr? It's more of a blog and works with text, pics, vid, links and so on. I'll be using it on my camino soon.

But maybe you wanted something more private.

Why not throw them onto facebook?

Dropbox works for me but if there are easier options, I'm all ears

I tried putting Dropbox on my iPod, but it won't work. My software is iOS 6, not 7. Ugh! I really would like to keep my phone turned off most of the time, so I want a way that will work with iOS 6. Is using email efficient?? Or is there a better way?? iCloud maybe????

You could use a file-sending site like sprend.com but then you need someone "on the other side" downloading. The posh solution would be buying a NAS (a hard drive attached to your home network) and making your own cloud.

I think photos expire on iCloud after a while. Could be wrong but I'd check before depending on it for storage. I think of it mainly as a way of getting photos and documents from one device to another. Don't use it for video transfer.
