How do I transfer a folder worth 45.4 GB through email, dvd burning, or other methods?

This folder has movie,music, and programs. Best ways to transfer this folder.

Answer
Forget email - you're 1,000x too large for that.

If you're talking about transferring files between PCs that aren't on the same local network, the ideal method would be BluRay - which can hold 25-50GB per disk. But not too many PCs have BD. A more practical method would be loading a small, portable hard drive with the files and shipping it.

If the PCs are on the same local network, file sharing would be the way to go. That will take over an hour at good network speeds. Trying to move that much data over the internet at a typical upload speed of 1 mbps is going to take roughly 100 hours - shipping will be faster.

Any good FREE storage websites like the cloud?

Anna

I need good FREE storage websites for my music and i have a bunch of music. Over 13GB, and my flashdrive isn't large enough.

Answer
My advice: Buy a 32GB flashdrive. Or a portable hard drive. Uploading and downloading 13GB to "the cloud" will take ages on all but the fastest internet connections. But, if you really want to:
https://www.mediafire.com/upgrade/ - 50GB for free.
https://www.dropbox.com/pricing - up to 18GB for free if you get enough friends to sign up.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/skydrive/download - 7GB for free, so if you make 2 accounts, it should be enough.
