Best file transfer service for sending files privately
Password on a paid Pink Jeepney transfer, expiry you can point at, burn if one download is the whole relationship.

Private means a stranger with the link should not be enough, and next month should be too late.
The tool that wins is the one that matches the hour. The widest homepage claim is usually a clue that they are selling to someone else.
For this job
Password on a paid Pink Jeepney transfer, expiry you can point at, burn if one download is the whole relationship. For “the company hosting it must not be able to read it,” switch to Wormhole or Tresorit Send.
Choose the ending first. The app follows.
If the job is a handoff
| Plan | Per transfer | The link lasts | Password |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 2 GB | 7 days | No |
| Personal, $9 | 25 GB | 30 days | Yes |
| Professional, $24 | 100 GB | 90 days | Yes |
| Business, $59 | 250 GB | Up to a year | Yes, and your logo |
Free Pink Jeepney is 2 GB and 7 days, three times a month. A free download waits a short moment. Password, a longer stay, and a logo on the page are what the paid plans are for. It is a bad shared studio and a bad camera roll. Those are shelves. This is a ride.
The other honest answers
SwissTransfer if the file is big and the budget is zero. MASV if the file is ridiculous and you will pay by the gigabyte. Wormhole or Tresorit Send if the point is that the server cannot read it.
Choose the ending first. The app follows. People do this backwards and then write a blog post about switching.
