I and my friend have an android phone .Actually he live miles away from my house but due to our studies i need a zip format file of nearly 500 mb from him but i have only 100 mb net pack left so is their any method to share that file with less internet data ......

Please respond fast as our exams are going to start in nearly 27 days from today
 
Share the file with Dropbox , or Box, and give him access to your account.
 
With only a 100 MB limit there's just no way you can be interactively share 500 MB files over the Internet in any way. On the outside chance you're referring to a 500 MB collection of text files then if they are compressed into a zip file archive, the resulting file would be well under that 100 MB limit. But other than that, copying that 500 MB to a USB flash drive and mail/courier is the only solution I can think of.

But send anywhere works for me

The OP is trying to send an almost 500MB file, but only has 100MB of data available, which is presumably a pre-paid cellular package.

Solution; find some WiFi, like McDonald's, KFC, Starbucks, hotel lobby, etc.

Lol .... Not that emergency i need that file from a well known android foroums agent "jfalls63" (u might knew him).Its a 484mb zip file to flash samsung galaxy granc neo plus but i dint have enough data and time to download thats why i an trying to get a new option for it
 
Well I'm in China, and I pay 68 yuan CNY a month about $10 USD a month and it includes 1GB of data, 4G LTE with China Unicom. I could pay more and get additional GB if I need it. But on the other hand WiFi is quite ubiquitous in many places I go, like at home or the office, and many restaurants and hotels.

Offline option is easy.

USB stick, just put the thing in the post and mail it :thumbsupdroid: ....you said you got 27 days?

Done that as well, needed to send 800GB of data to a friend, put a USB hardrive in the post, problem solved. :) It's quite amazing how much low-cost data bandwidth snail-mail has.


My father sent me 2TB of data from the UK to China, online that would actually be quite difficult to do, UK to PRC.

A DATA PACKET!

Dad phoned me up, saying you left your movie disk behind my TV, I found it still plugged into the USB. Ok, put it in the post. :)

OK, international air mail, e.g. United Kingdom to China, took 6 days. cost £5 GBP.

Problems can always be solved by practical means, when online and clouds fail. :thumbsupdroid:

Here's the thing, Dropbox is not available in China. And Baidu Pan is not available unless you can verify yourself with a +86 phone number, which is rather difficult for my father and anyone else in the UK. As I said, when online and clouds can fail.

Good night! :)
