Step-by-step guides
Best practices for sending, requesting and receiving files
TransferNow is the service for transferring large files: send up to 5 GB for free with no sign-up (up to 500 GB with an account), with AES-256 and SSL/TLS encryption.
Email attachments top out at around 25 MB: as soon as a file exceeds that limit — a 4K video, a folder of photos, a design mockup, a heavy PDF export, or a ZIP archive — your inbox rejects it. That’s where a file transfer service takes over: you drop your documents, get a download link or send them by email, and your recipients retrieve everything in a few clicks, with no software to install and no sign-up.
Our tutorials cover the three main file transfer intents: sending and sharing (by email or via a download link), receiving and requesting (email file requests, secure upload links, receiving in your account, or a widget embedded on your website), and even selling your files with payment before download. Every guide is step by step and designed to get you there fast while keeping you in control: password, expiration date, download tracking, and encryption. Pick your scenario below.
Receive & request
Collect files: by email, upload link, in your account, or through a widget.
Sell your files
Monetize your files: payment unlocks before the download.

Frequently asked questions
How do I send a file that’s too big for email?
Email providers (Gmail, Outlook…) cap attachments at around 25 MB. Beyond that, use a transfer service: drop your files on TransferNow, then share a link or send them by email — up to 5 GB for free, no sign-up required.
Can I send large files for free?
Yes. TransferNow lets you send up to 5 GB per transfer for free, with no sign-up and no limit on the number of transfers.
Do I need an account to use TransferNow?
Not for occasional sending or receiving. An account unlocks transfer tracking, custom branding, centralized reception, and larger sizes (up to 500 GB per transfer).
How do I receive files from someone else?
Create a secure upload link or send a request by email: your contacts upload their files without having to create an account. See the "Request and receive files" guide.
Are transfers secure?
Yes: SSL/TLS encryption for transfers and AES-256 for storage, free password protection with no account required, and automatic antivirus scanning of every file.
