Is there a limit to the size of a file that I can upload?

Is there a maximum file size that we can upload? me and my friends record videos, for youtube, they upload their footage and I download it to edit it, I choose Dropbox because it didn't seem like there was a file size upload limit unlike other file sharing sites. but my friend ran into a problem where the file wouldn't upload because it was too big....

    20 GB through the web interface. Unlike Rich, I do it routinely, it works fine.

    That has changed since my reply from over a year ago. It was previously 10GB (and 1GB before that), and problematic at best. Now it's not much of an issue.

    When using the Dropbox client on your computer the file size is limited only by the size of your account. Uploads through the Dropbox website are limited to 10GB (but personally, I would NEVER upload a file of that size through a browser).
