Do files in My Files expire?

Paid My Files do not have a fixed six- or twelve-month timer. They stay while your account is active and has enough space. Public links expire separately.

Can I charge for a download?

If your account is eligible, you can set a price in US dollars. The file stays locked until payment is confirmed.

Does TransferSize compress my files?

No. The other person downloads the original file you uploaded. A browser preview may look different because it is shown separately.

Can I upload through WebDAV?

No. WebDAV is read-only. It can list and download files on an eligible paid plan.

Does Live Relay change video quality?

No. It passes through an approved HTTPS HLS stream without transcoding it.

What if my upload stops?

TransferSize retries the failed part and keeps the parts that already finished while the upload session is still open.
