Send files of any size,
instantly & free.
No account. No upload wait. No size limit. Your file streams peer-to-peer, end-to-end encrypted, and nothing ever touches a server.
Sender tab must stay open: their screen must stay awake, the file streams live from their device.
Only connect to people you trust: files arrive directly, we never scan or store them.
When email says
"attachment too large."
Gmail and Outlook both cap email attachments at 25 MB, a limit that hasn't moved in years while file sizes have grown enormously. The moment your attachment bounces, you're stuck choosing between a cloud-storage detour or a transfer tool with its own set of limits.
TransferFiles.net skips both problems. There's no 25 MB ceiling, no 3 GB ceiling, no ceiling at all, and instead of attaching a file, you just send a link that streams it directly to whoever needs it.
Built different. Actually free.
Files never touch our servers. That eliminates our costs and your limits.
End-to-End Encrypted
WebRTC's mandatory DTLS-SRTP encryption. On by default, cannot be disabled. Nobody reads your files in transit.
No Upload Wait
Files stream instantly the moment the receiver connects. No waiting for an upload to complete first.
No Size Limit
Most free transfer plans cap you at 2 to 15 GB. We cap nothing. Send 4K videos, project folders, 50 GB archives.
Any Device
iPhone to Android, Mac to Windows, tablet to desktop. Any combination, any modern browser.
No Account Ever
No sign-up, no email, no password. Open the page, pick a file, share the link. Done.
Always Free
No bandwidth bill means no pricing tiers. We cover costs through display ads. No paywall, ever.

Questions about files too big for email
Email was designed for short messages, and most providers cap attachments to keep mail servers from being overwhelmed by large binary files. 25 MB has been the de facto industry standard for years across Gmail and Outlook.
Generate a link with TransferFiles.net and paste that link into your email instead of attaching the file directly. The recipient clicks it and the file streams to their device.
No. Any modern browser, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari, can open the link and receive the file with no extra software or app.
No. Whether it's 30 MB or 30 GB, the same link-based process works because the file streams directly rather than being attached to anything.
