TransferNow

File transfer designed for AI and data teams

Collecting a corpus from contributors, delivering an annotated dataset to a client, exchanging training sets between teams: TransferNow moves the data — up to 500 GB per transfer, hosted in the closest region, and never used to train AI models.

Your day-to-day

What gets in the way today

Datasets that don’t fit in a drive

Hundreds of thousands of images or audio clips: office tools hit their ceiling, sync poorly, and mix everything up.

Multi-contributor collection that scatters

Annotators, clients, field partners: everyone sends through their own channel, and the data team spends its time pulling files back in.

Doubt about how the data is used

Entrusting a corpus to a service that uses it to train its own models is a contractual risk — and often a client red line.

With TransferNow

Your workflow, in three steps

  1. 1

    Collect the contributions

    One drop link per collection campaign: contributors upload their files from a browser, no account needed — every upload is identified and notified.

  2. 2

    Exchange training sets

    The dataset goes out in one link, directory tree intact (train/test/val included) — up to 500 GB per transfer, with no splitting.

  3. 3

    Deliver to the client, tracked

    Password, controlled availability window, download notification: the delivery of an annotated dataset is documented end to end.

Built for you

AI & data: the features that matter

Zero AI

Your data trains no model

TransferNow never uses your files or your data to train artificial intelligence models — a written commitment, see our personal data commitments.

Folders

The dataset’s structure, preserved

Splits, classes, annotations: the directory tree arrives exactly as sent — the pipeline consumes it with no reassembly.

500 GB

Sized for corpora

Up to 5 GB per transfer for free and 500 GB with an account: image, audio, or video corpora go out in a single link.

Drop link

Collection, centralized

A permanent drop link (or the widget on your website) gathers contributions in one place, with no account on the contributors’ side and a notification at every upload.

Hosting

Hosting under control

Files hosted in the closest region — in Europe for European users — with a choice of storage region depending on the plan. Personal data stays in the EEA: a frequent prerequisite in DPAs and data RFPs.

API

Automate your flows

The TransferNow API brings file sending and receiving into your pipelines — on a pay-as-you-go model, with full documentation.

And against WeTransfer?

A single dataset exceeds WeTransfer’s free 3 GB on its own, and multi-contributor collection requires file receiving — something its free plan doesn’t have. The table opposite sums up what matters for a data team.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files used to train AI models?

No, never: TransferNow uses neither your files nor your data to train artificial intelligence models. It’s a written commitment in our terms and our personal data commitments.

How do I collect files from many contributors?

Share your drop link (or embed the widget on your website): each contributor uploads their files from a simple browser, with no account to create, and every identified upload is notified to you.

What’s the maximum size per transfer?

5 GB per transfer for free, 500 GB with an account — and the dataset’s directory tree (splits, classes, annotations) is preserved at download.

Where is the data hosted during the transfer?

In the region closest to you — in Europe for European users — with a choice of storage region depending on the plan. Personal data stays in the EEA, transfers are encrypted (SSL/TLS), and a DPA is available.

Can sending and receiving be automated in a pipeline?

Yes: the TransferNow API exposes file sending and receiving on a pay-as-you-go basis, with full documentation — everything you need to bring transfers into your data workflows.
