Steps

Steps to send a large file by email

  1. 01

    Choose your files

    Add the files, check the list, and select Continue.

  2. 02

    Choose Send by email

    Enter your name and each recipient's email address. Check the spelling.

  3. 03

    Write a clear subject and message

    Name the project and say what the recipient needs to do.

  4. 04

    Set any access options

    Add a password or expiry if needed. A password is not included in the email.

  5. 05

    Send and wait

    Keep the page open until Transfer ready appears.

What the recipient sees

The recipient opens the transfer link in a browser, enters the password if one was set, previews supported files when enabled, and downloads without creating an account.

Good to know

A few things that matter

The file is not an attachment

The email contains a link. The file is downloaded from TransferSize, so normal attachment limits do not apply.

Recipient limits

Free supports up to three email recipients per transfer. Paid plans support up to ten.

Tell people what to expect

For an important send, message the recipient so they know which email and title to look for.
