Free
No Download/Install required

Super convenient file sharing system, encrypted from end to end.

Upload any of your big file you have to share with a customer or supplier (if your company policy is OK with that), and you’ll get the simple link you can share.

Up to 5Go: your file is uploaded to their server and you can close your browser
5 to 10 Go: this is a peer to peer between your browser and other peer clients = you must let your browser open during that time, but nothing to install nor any registration.

And you decided the parameters:

how long to let on their servers, up to 24h
how many times it can be downloaded (from 1 to 100 times)

Very convient for your next big project or CAD file.

Disciplines: Journalism, Cybersecurity, Software engineering, Legal, Design.

Free alternative to WeTransfer, Dropbox, Send Anywhere.

Encryption: Files are encrypted in the browser with 128-bit AES-GCM before upload. The main key sits in the URL fragment, which browsers do not send to the server, and the server stores ciphertext and an encrypted file list. The service states that it cannot see the files.		Encryption: The free plan page states protection in transit between apps and servers and at rest, with optional two-step verification. It does not describe end-to-end encryption.
Size limits: Files up to 5 GB are stored on the servers. Above 5 GB the file goes directly from your browser to the recipient, so the page must stay open until the download finishes.	Size limits: Free plan: up to 10 transfers or 3 GB in any 30-day period. The Ultimate plan allows up to 1 TB per transfer.	Size limits: The free Basic plan offers 2 GB of storage for one person, on up to 3 devices. The plan also includes file sync and backup.
