How to Share HD Movies from the iPhone

Tap Dropbox
For many users the iPhone is their main way of taking photos and videos, due to its compact size. While having the iPhone for all of your media is convenient, it is somewhat of a pain to transfer your HD videos from the iPhone and share them with friends and family.
Unlike photos, the videos on the iPhone are too large to send over email, so users need another way to share them with friends. Luckily there are several different ways to transfer and share HD movies from the iPhone.
Some of the easiest ways to share videos from the iPhone are with Dropbox or Google Drive, syncing the video to a computer or publishing the video to Facebook or YouTube. Follow the post below to learn how to use each of these methods with your own HD movies on the iPhone.

Dropbox:

For those users who already have a Dropbox account an easy way to share the videos on your iPhone is by uploading them to Dropbox. If you do not already have an account, go to the Dropbox website and make a free account. After creating an account, get the Dropbox iPhone app by downloading it from the app store and sign into your account.
After installing the app Open Dropbox.

Select Options.
Tap Options
By creating a folder it is easier to organize and keep track of the video files you are sharing. To make a folder Tap Create Folder.
