Sharing big files

[mikebell]

I have lots of Mobi files for Kindle Ebooks.  How do I share with family friends.  They won't attach to emails.  Dropbox (free version) doesn't work.  I don't want to pay - I am trying to do a favour.  I am a bit computer illiterate (at 80) so please write slowly.  Free books for the most efficacious method.

Give them your Kindle log in details.

Try Mail Big File which has a free option

However, if you do a bit of sharing then it might be an idea to set up your own ebook server on a small low powered computer like a raspberry pi.

 

I guess you know calibre, there is another app called calibre-web which is a web GUI for your calibre library, both my parents have access, they send me requests and I grab them,  put them in my calibre library, then they download them straight to their kindles at their leisure.

If they all have gmail accounts then you can create a folder in your free Google Drive allocation (15 Gb) and share it with them.  Just enter their gmail addresses to do so.

Google drive offers 15GB free

I think Onedrive offers 100GB free

They work in the same way as dropbox. Why does dropbox not work?

Because I am stupid!  I just persevered on your say-so & uploaded a book to a public folder.  https://www.dropbox.com/s/7mgs85penic9k7x/Crais%2C Robert - Joe Pike 01 - The Watchman.mobi?dl=0  Please accept this for your help.
