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.
Send large files,
straight from your phone.
Phones generate huge files constantly, 4K video clips, burst-mode photo sets, screen recordings, but most mobile transfer tools were built around tiny attachments. Messaging apps compress everything, and email apps choke well before you reach a few hundred megabytes.
TransferFiles.net works directly in your phone's browser, no app install, and there's no size ceiling whether you're sending a single video or an entire camera roll's worth of files in one go.
Send large files from your phone: what to know
Picking files on iPhone
Tap "Send a file" and you'll get the full iOS share sheet: Photos, Files, or any app's documents. Multiple files can be added afterward with "Add more files" without starting over.
Picking files on Android
The Android file picker lets you browse Photos, Downloads, or any app that exposes files to the system picker, same multi-file flow applies.
Keeping the transfer alive on mobile
Phones are aggressive about pausing background tabs to save battery. Keep the browser in the foreground and the screen unlocked for the whole transfer, screen timeout settings can be temporarily extended in your phone's display settings if you're sending something large.
Built different. Actually free.
Files never touch our servers. That eliminates our costs and your limits.
