Best file transfer service for sending files to clients
One link, one sentence, your name if you are on a paid workspace, your logo if you are on Business.
David KrugManila · @realDavidKrug
A client is not a collaborator unless you invited them to be one. Most of the time they are a recipient.
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
One link, one sentence, your name if you are on a paid workspace, your logo if you are on Business. No seat for them to accept. No folder they will still have in 2028.
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.
