    (assuming you're on a Mac [or linux/unix box], and so is the recipient)

    Split the file up into smaller chunks, several hundred megabytes in size using the split command:

    split -b300m filename chunk
    (chunk will be the naming scheme)

    Upload all file chunks to dropbox. Download them on the other end, and then put them back together using the cat command:

    cat chunka chunkb chunkc... chunkx > output_filename

    - - -

    Think I remembered all of that correctly, give it a try.
