Is there a mechanism to provide access to audio files over 15 MB.
I have a patron who has an audio interview of her mother that runs over an hour and is much more than the 15 MB limit for Memories. Is there a way she can upload a file somewhere (eg. perhaps to Dropbox) and then post a link in the Memories App for others to follow? I didn't think Dropbox would work because the patron would need to grant access to anyone visiting the site. Has anyone run into this? Do you have suggestions for other ways she might be able to share the audio? eg. Are there ways to compress the file to under 15 MB?

I would split the audio file into 2 or more different files. Then you can upload each of those files onto the person page.
Check out this article:

It talks about different options for splitting up file.

You could use audacity-a free program, to split up the recording

If the file is bigger than 15 MB, break it into smaller files.

NO choice ... 'them's the breaks' ...

IF, the "Audio" File is BIGGER than 15 MB; THEN, break it into SMALLER Files.
