I have a couple 100mb files that I reference from my unit tests. They won't fit in Git Hub, so I was thinking of posting them to my Google Drive or Dropbox account. Is there a way to download these files as a part of the AppVeyor PreBuild?

    Hello,
    You can use PowerShell or appveyor command line to download files from outside. Please look at http://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/download-file.
    You can make them as part of before build script in Settings > Build > Before build script. Or I you use YAML, script would be under before_build.
    Thank you,
    Ilya.
