Large file transfer
Send large files without fighting email
Most mailboxes stop somewhere between 10 MB and 25 MB, which is less than a single burst of phone photos. Drop the file here instead and you get a private link you can paste into the same email — no attachment, no bounce, and no waiting on a confirmation message.

Why email is the wrong tool for a big file
Mail providers cap attachments to keep their servers healthy. That limit — usually somewhere between 10 MB and 25 MB — is smaller than a short video clip, so an oversized attachment tends to fail at the send button rather than arrive late.
The failure is also confusing, because it often happens at the far end. Your provider may accept the message while the recipient's provider rejects it, leaving you with a bounce hours later and no obvious explanation.
An attachment is also a copy. It lands in every recipient’s mailbox, sits in your Sent folder, and usually gets swept into at least one backup. A link is a reference instead: the file stays in one place and you can revoke it whenever you want.
What happens when you upload 200 MB
The file is split into chunks and sent in parallel, so a large upload does not depend on one long-lived connection staying perfect. If your wifi drops at eighty percent, the transfer resumes from the last confirmed chunk instead of starting again.
That matters most in exactly the places large uploads tend to happen: hotel wifi, mobile data, a laptop running low on battery. Starting the whole transfer over is the difference between a two-minute job and a twenty-minute one.
When it finishes you get two links. The download link takes the recipient straight to the file, and the preview link opens it in the browser so they can look before saving anything.
Your recipient does not need an account either
Nobody has to sign up to receive a file. Anyone holding the link downloads directly from storage, with no waiting page, no download manager to install and no survey screen in between.
You keep control after sending. Set how many times the file may be downloaded, add a password, restrict which websites are allowed to embed the link, or turn the link off entirely from the dashboard.
Sending a large file, step by step
There is no onboarding and no confirmation email. The whole path is four steps:
- Drop the file onto the upload area, or choose it from your device.
- Wait for the transfer to finish — large files resume automatically if your connection blinks.
- Set an expiry, optionally add a password, and choose a download limit.
- Copy the link and send it however you like. The recipient needs nothing but the link.
Questions
- What is the largest file I can send?
- A single file can be up to 200 MB. Uploads are chunked and resumable, so the cap comes from storage cost rather than the reliability of your connection.
- Do I need an account to send a large file?
- No. There is no registration form and no email to confirm. Your files and links are tied to the browser you uploaded from.
- Will the link stop working?
- Every link expires, and one hour is the default. You can choose a longer window before or after sending, and you can revoke a link early at any time.
- Can I send video files?
- Yes. Videos, images, PDFs, archives and documents all work. A preview link lets the recipient open the file in the browser without saving a copy.
- Is there a daily limit?
- Each browser gets a daily upload allowance so one person cannot consume all the storage. It is generous for normal use and resets daily.
- Do I have to send the link by email?
- No. The link works anywhere — chat, a project tool, a text message, or pasted into a document. The link itself carries no personal information.
