WeTransfer vs Google Drive: Which Is Better for Large Files?
WeTransfer and Google Drive both get big files from one person to another, but they are built for different jobs. Here is a fair comparison, with a third option for sending without any account.
What is Share Large Video Files?
Share Large Video Files is a free website for sending large files and videos. You upload up to 20 GB per transfer (up to 1000 files or a whole folder), then share a download link, show a QR code, or have the link emailed to your recipients. Neither you nor the people you send to need an account, and files are delivered exactly as you uploaded them, with no compression or re-encoding.
Links expire after the time you choose, up to 1 day by default, and the files are then deleted. You can add a password, delete the files after the first download, extend or cancel a link, and see when it was opened and downloaded. For work that needs more control there are free NDA signatures, view-only links, forms, download limits and country rules, and 158 free in-browser tools to compress, convert and edit files first.
It runs in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers, and can be installed as an app. Who runs it and how it works · All guides
Is it safe to send files here?
Encrypted in transit
Uploads and downloads use HTTPS. Add a password for anything private and send it separately.
Deleted on schedule
Files are removed when the link expires, or after the first download if you choose.
You decide who opens it
Require a confirmed email, list who may download, or cancel a link at any time.
Never altered
No compression or re-encoding, and your files are never used for advertising.

Up to 20 GB per transfer, with up to 1000 files or a folder at once.
Will my videos be compressed?
No. Every file is delivered as-is, in original quality, byte for byte.
What file types can I send?
Any file type, including MP4, MOV, MKV, ProRes, RAW photos, ZIP, PSD and WAV.
How do I share my files?
Copy a link, show a QR code or use your phone's share sheet, or send by email to recipients after verifying your address with a 6-digit code.
How long do download links last?
Links expire after 1 day and the files are then deleted. You can extend the expiry or delete a transfer early from the Transfers page.
Can I protect a transfer with a password?
Yes. Add an optional password, and choose delete after first download if only one person needs the files.
Can I send from my phone?
Yes. The site works in any modern browser on iPhone and Android, as well as on desktop.
What happens if my connection drops during upload?
Uploads are sent in chunks. If the connection drops, the upload pauses and continues when you are back online. If the tab closes, open the page again in the same browser and add the same files to continue where it stopped.
Is it secure?
Transfers use HTTPS, links are needed for access, and passwords add another layer. See our security page for what is and is not offered.
Will I know when my files are downloaded?
Yes. Tick "Email me when it's downloaded" when sending. Your Transfers page also shows every open and download, with a stats page per transfer.
Can I make recipients sign an NDA before downloading?
Yes. Under More options, tick "Require an NDA before download". Recipients confirm their email, sign by typing their name, and you both get a PDF certificate.
Can I share files as view only, without downloads?
Yes. Tick "View only (no downloads)": photos, PDFs and videos open in the browser with a watermark showing the viewer's email and the time.
Can I limit who and how many can download?
Yes. Set total and per-person download limits, allow only listed emails or domains, limit countries and devices, and set times the link opens and closes.
Can clients pick favourites and approve photos or videos?
Yes. Tick "Client review": clients heart favourites, comment on photos or at an exact second of a video, then approve or request changes.
How do I send a 10 GB video?
Drop it on the upload box and share the link when it is ready. Anything up to 20 GB per transfer works, and the recipient downloads the original file.
Can I send a whole folder?
Yes. Choose "Select folder" and up to 1000 files are sent together; the recipient can download them all as one ZIP or one by one.
Can I send files to someone in another country?
Yes. The link works worldwide, and you can also do the opposite and allow downloads only in the countries you choose.
Can I collect files from several people by a deadline?
Yes. Choose Request files, add a checklist, a due date and the people you need files from. Each gets a personal link and automatic reminders, and you see who has sent what.
Can I send large files from Gmail or Outlook?
Yes. The free browser extension adds a Large files button to Gmail and Outlook on the web, and the Outlook add-in does the same in Outlook. The download link goes into your email.
Can my team share files with different permissions?
Yes. Create a team and give each person a role: Admin, Editor, Uploader, Reviewer or Viewer. Teams share contact groups, branding, rules and an activity log.
Can recipients preview Word, Excel and PowerPoint files?
Yes. The download page shows a PDF preview of Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, so people can read them without downloading or installing Office.
Can I send files over Wi-Fi to a device on another network?
Yes. Open Send via Wi-Fi on both devices and pair them with a 6-digit code or QR code. If the networks block a direct connection, our encrypted relay links them automatically.
Is there an app?
Yes. Install the site from your browser menu. On Android it then appears in your gallery's Share menu, so videos go straight to a download link.
