Uploading a large voice memo from iphone to Dropbox

I have a large voice memo that I recorded on my iphone. I want to copy it to Dropbox but can't work out how. The file it too big to save to Dropbox on my phone - it just stops. If it helps, I can see and hear the voice memo when I plug my phone into itunes, so if there is a way of moving a large file from itunes to Dropbox that would help. 

Thanks.

    Hi Claireful, thanks for posting today!

     

    Let's see if we can get this file uploaded, I have the following questions about this matter:

     

    • How large is the voice memo file?
    • Do you have enough quota on your account to store it?
    • What steps are you taking to upload it to the Dropbox mobile app?

    Keep me posted!

      Thanks for your reply, Jay. I managed to do it over the weekend, by exporting all my voice memos to iTunes, and then moving the one I wanted to DropBox.
