TransferFiles.net vs Filemail
which should you use?
Filemail is a genuinely no-signup option with a respectable 5 GB free cap, well ahead of WeTransfer or Dropbox. The trade-off is that your file is still uploaded to and stored on Filemail's servers for the full 7-day window, scanned for viruses there, rather than streamed directly to the recipient.
Filemail's free plan: 5 GB per transfer. Files available for 7 days. Account: Not required. Encryption: TLS 1.2 (AES-256) in transit; files are antivirus-scanned on Filemail's servers; not end-to-end.
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.

iPhone to Android, Mac to Windows, tablet to desktop. Any combination, any modern browser.
No Account Ever
