I would like to share a file which is a large file about 4GB. Which free file sharing option is best for my criteria: Google docs, sky drive, mega cloud or drop box?

Just attach it to an email:D (Don't do that, really)

4G is a rather large file. Can it be compressed, or reduced? All the site you mentioned are OK. I would check if they have limits on the files size.

We use dropbox within our office & have never had an issue :)

Your own FTP!

I've used MediaFire and DropBox. I prefer DropBox

I would say Dropbox as well. If you go that route, check the settings to make sure your upload pipe is maxed out. I recently did a large file and it took forever, only to realize I wasn't using all of my available bandwidth to upload.

I use Dropbox regularly, ftp on certain occasions. I also have started using Skydrive more often because when I upload a Word file from my PC, I can continue to work on the file within Skydrive. Can't do that with Google Drive.

I also just discovered that large Excel files with several worksheets get saved in Skydrive with all worksheets intact. Google Drive only saves the first sheet.
