Quick answer: Share Large Files Free is a free Smash alternative: up to 20 GB per transfer, no account, original quality and links that last 1 day. Smash sets no fixed size cap, so it can suit much larger transfers.
What Smash does well
Smash is known for not setting a fixed file size limit on its free plan, which is a real advantage if you regularly send very large projects. At the time of writing, very large free transfers may be processed more slowly than paid ones, free links last around a week, and paid plans add longer storage, branding and other extras.
If you need to send one enormous file for free and do not mind waiting, Smash may be the better choice. Check Smash's own site for current plans and limits.
Why you might choose us instead
- No account: neither you nor your recipient signs up for anything.
- Original quality: files are delivered byte for byte, with no compression or re-encoding.
- Link, QR code or email: copy a link, use your phone's share sheet, or have us email recipients after you verify your address with a 6-digit code.
- Free extras: an optional password and delete after first download.
- Stay in control: the Transfers page lets you extend the expiry, resend emails, see download counts and delete early.
Our limit is 20 GB per transfer with up to 1000 files or a folder, and links last 1 day. For most videos, photo sets and project folders that is plenty.
