Quick answer: Share Large Files Free is a browser-only Filemail alternative: send up to 20 GB per transfer by link or email with no app and no account. The link works for 1 day, and files arrive in original quality.

What Filemail offers

At the time of writing, Filemail's free plan lets you send a few gigabytes per transfer without an account, with links that last around a week. Paid plans raise the limits considerably and add features such as passwords, branding and longer storage. Filemail also offers desktop and mobile apps designed for very large uploads, which can help if you send huge files every day.

Plans change over time, so check Filemail's own site for current limits.

Why you might choose us instead

  • Nothing to install: everything works in a modern browser on a computer or phone.
  • Free password: add an optional password, or delete the transfer after its first download.
  • No account for you or your recipients.
  • Original quality: no compression, re-encoding or resizing.
  • Manage links: extend the 1 day expiry, resend emails, see download counts or delete early from the Transfers page.

When Filemail may suit you better

If you send very large files every day, want a dedicated desktop app, or need company branding on your download pages, a paid Filemail plan may be the better fit. For quick, free sends in a browser, a link from us is usually enough.
