How it works

How the TransferNow extension works in Gmail

You drag your files into your message as usual. Past 20 MB, the extension catches them before Gmail does and offers TransferNow: the side panel opens with your files already loaded, the transfer runs, and the download link lands in your message — without leaving Gmail.

  1. 1

    Drop your files into your message

    Write your email in Gmail and drag your files in as usual. Above 20 MB, the extension intercepts them before Gmail attaches them.

    A banner offers to send them with TransferNow: it is a suggestion, you stay in control.

  2. 2

    Send from the side panel

    The TransferNow panel opens in Chrome with your files already loaded. Add a subject, a password or download tracking if you like, then confirm.

    The files are uploaded to our servers and scanned by our antivirus before the link becomes available.

  3. 3

    The link lands in your email

    Once the upload is complete, the download link is inserted into your message in place of the oversized attachment.

    You can also start a transfer at any time from the TransferNow icon in the toolbar, on any tab.

Why the app?

The extension instead of a new tab?

In Gmail, the extension keeps watch while you write: if you drag and drop files of more than 20 MB into the compose window, it offers to send them via TransferNow — the files are imported directly into the extension and a download link replaces the oversized attachment, without leaving your message.

It’s a suggestion, never an obligation: you stay in control. You can also start a transfer manually in one click from the Chrome toolbar, from any tab — with the same limits and options as the website (up to 5 GB, password, download tracking, and notifications).

Frequently asked questions

Is the Chrome extension free?

Yes, the extension is free on the Chrome Web Store, with up to 5 GB per transfer with an account.

Do I need to use Gmail for it to be useful?

No: the extension also works on its own, from the toolbar, to create a transfer from any tab. The Gmail integration adds the detection of oversized attachments while you write.

What happens if I attach a large file in Gmail?

If you drag and drop files of more than 20 MB into the Gmail compose window, the extension offers to send them via TransferNow: they are imported into the extension and a download link replaces the attachment. It’s a suggestion, never forced on you.

Do my recipients need to install the extension?

No: they receive a standard link and download the files from their browser, without any extension or account.

Are the files scanned before the link is sent?

Yes: an antivirus security scan runs before the download link becomes available.
