megaupload.com says the max file size is 250mb, and Gmail won't work because mail servers generally won't take attachments larger than 8 or 10 mb.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
what she is saying about gmail is to save the email message in drafts with the huge attachment and then give the person the password to retrieve the draft.

I wasn't saying that, but good idea.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does sending gmail to gmail also work?

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
I think the 10 MB limit on attachments will still foil you if you're trying to attach it to a draft.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I can't remember the name of it, but isn't here a program named "Gmail drive" or the like where you can create a drive on your account?
ah yes: [link]

Yes, but
The Inbox of a Gmail account is used to store the files. Consequently, GMail Drive cannot accept files sized greater than 10 MB
I had thought that people used yousendit.com to exchange 350MB files. Where's the root of the lack of love?

Is there a file size limit on transfer by IM client?
eta: Yahoo!Messenger Help [link]
If the files you drag-and-drop are all image files (like JPEG or BMP files), an inline notification will give you the option of starting a Photo Sharing session. If you choose this option, your friend will be invited to photo sharing. If your friend accepts, your image files will appear in a side panel, and you will have access to additional features that make photo sharing more fun.
There is no limit to the size of files you can transfer, as long as neither you nor your friend are behind a firewall that prohibits peer-to-peer transfers. In that case, the file will be sent through Yahoo! servers, and file size is limited to 100 MB.
No idea whether sending 700Mb this way would be faster than sending a CD by USPS.

Otherwise, you could set a machine up with FTP on an odd port, and enable your router to allow passage to that port for the duration of the gets or sends.
