Is this possible to do without a thumb drive or burning to a disc? It's too big for my Dropbox.

You'll probably have to pay for a service like dropbox or box.com. Their basic free service usually goes up to 100 MB per file. If you pay the subscription fee you can load larger.
BUT, you can load it up to YouTube for free and anybody can click on it and view it. You have to have a gmail account first (which is free). Then when you're in your gmail account, you can set up a YouTube channel. Could be VillageIdiot, if that's what you want (and it isn't already taken). Once you've set up a YouTube channel, you can upload any video up there (I'm sure there are limits. But a typical song length video with 150 MB or so in size will fit fine). Then you get a link to the video and you can post it here or email it to a friend.

Oooh. I see now you say it's a 9.87 GB file. Wow, that's big. That might exceed YouTube limit. What is it of?

Google Drive and just share the link?

Is this to share with an individual or is it for public consumption? If it's the former, you're probably better off with a thumb drive or DVD. There are pay options like dropbox to send it through the ether, but the upload and download time for 10 gig is pretty hairy.
There are also software options to reduce the file size... but there will be sacrifices to the quality of the video.
By the way, if it's a video of CATS, save yourself and the recipient a lot of time and trouble, and just tell them about it.

I haven't checked youtube limit, because it involves a student using a computer. Even though it just shows the computer and his hands and I have a video release, I'd feel uncomfortable putting it up on public.

I just thought that if I could get it to my supervisor a different way, she would be wowed. I can't increase my Dropbox space because work pays for it.

There are options on youtube regarding who can see the video. There is a setting where only the people who have the specific URL can view it. For the rest of the world it will not exist.

Nearly 10 gig is quite large (a single-layer DVD holds only 4.7 gig)--I watched an hour-long YouTube HD documentary that didn't hit a gig, though our Tivo files have gone to 10 gig or even larger. I suspect it's possible to compress that video down to a manageable file size without compromising quality, though one of our video experts would have to point to the appropriate application for the job.
On the other hand, a 16-gig thumbdrive costs less than $10 these days. (It might take a while to dump the file onto it, though--they're not the fastest devices around.)

Now that you mention it, 10 gig of video seems awfully excessive. How was it recorded, what format is it, how long is it, etc.? There's got to be a way to make it smaller, unless it's every minute of footage that George Lucas ever shot.

Out of curiosity, I wonder how much space I've got on my photobucket account. But most likely I'll be picking up a flash drive on my way home tonight.

Google Drive and just share the link? Bingo. Our internet at home has been slow for the past few days, but I changed the computer to never sleep and eventually it uploaded. What disappoints me is that videoing something on an iPad takes up more space than other means, as indicated by others here being surprised by the space it took. Regardless, I was able to get the thing to my supervisor with a wow factor, and for that, I appreciate everyone's help.

VI:
Next time, before you start to make the video, I'd suggest first adjusting your camera settings for what kind of video you are about to make.
When I say "settings," I mean the resolution that you are about to start shooting at.
The ipad's highest resolution and frame rate may be the default setting, when there's a good chance that (for the internet and normal use) you could get along with a something much, much smaller than that, and that would result in a far smaller file.

Ah. I had no idea. Thanks for that.
