Quick answer: SwissTransfer allows larger free transfers than Share Large Files Free (20 GB per transfer). Choose SwissTransfer for very big files, and this site for a quick link or email with no account and no compression.
Where SwissTransfer is stronger
We will say it plainly: at the time of writing, SwissTransfer offers a much larger free limit per transfer than we do, up to about 50 GB, and lets you choose how long the link lasts, up to about 30 days. It is run by a Swiss hosting company, needs no account and includes a password option for free.
If you regularly send files bigger than 20 GB, or you need a link to stay live for weeks, SwissTransfer may be the better tool. Limits change, so check their site for the current figures.
Where we differ
- Built around video: our guides cover sending 4K video, iPhone and Android footage without it being compressed first.
- Link, QR code and share sheet: after upload you can copy the link, show a QR code or hand it straight to your phone's share sheet.
- Manage after sending: the Transfers page lets you extend the expiry, resend the email, see download counts or delete the transfer early.
- Delete after first download: useful when only one person should get the files.
