    Hi,

    I am looking for a form that includes a 'Upload File Button' so I can receive files from my users. Also I wondered what is the best way to receive/store these files "Gaming Videos".

    I looked at DropBox and other similar services but all seem to be for personal use up to 100GB.

    If you may know how I could do this, Please PM me :)

    Thanks,

    Not to go off topic, but noticed Help Den in your sig, you own or operate it? I use it for a site of mine so was wondering.

    As for file uploading, it's not just a button. You need good code behind it. You have to:

    Define what files you'll accept.
    Verify they are legit on upload for security.
    Rename files or check for dupes.
    Have a protected directory they are stored in.
    Etc.

    Ah ok, Do you know any services which offer this as found a Cloud Sharing Business which said had a 'Form' which you insert into your website and you could receive files. I am only wanting to receive Video format videos ?

    yeah, use a cloud hosting system like Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). And use a php script to upload files. Very simple.
