Password
Content under lock
A password on the download, shared through a separate channel — on top of transfer encryption (SSL/TLS) and, depending on the plan, passphrase-based SSE-C encryption.
File transfer built for legal professionals
A legal file doesn’t get entrusted to just any link. TransferNow delivers deeds, pleadings and exhibits under password, with proof of receipt — encryption in transit, link deactivation at any time, hosting in Europe.

Your day-to-day
What gets in the way today
Professional secrecy vs. the attachment
Sensitive pleadings and exhibits leave as unprotected attachments — an ethical risk the firm carries alone.
Trial bundles too heavy for email
Scanned exhibits, expert reports, photos: the complete file exceeds the mailbox — and France’s Télérecours e-filing system caps each submitted document at 32 MB. Splitting it up breaks the numbering.
Transmission without proof
Opposing counsel, client, court: without a record of receipt, every sensitive send comes with a confirmation phone call on top.
With TransferNow
Your workflow, in three steps
- 1
Send complete case files
The exhibit bundle leaves in one link, numbering and folder structure preserved — up to 500 GB, password-protected.
- 2
Receive documents from clients
The firm’s upload link: clients drop off their documents in their browser, nothing to install — and every drop is notified to you.
- 3
Stay in control after sending
Per-recipient download tracking, a limited availability period, and immediate link deactivation if needed.
Built for you
Legal: the features that matter
Notifications
Proof of receipt
A notification by name for every download: who retrieved the file, and when — the time-stamped history speaks for itself.
Deactivation
The link can be revoked
Sent an exhibit by mistake? Disable the transfer immediately — the link stops working, unlike an attachment that’s gone for good.
Europe · GDPR
Hosting under control
Files hosted in the nearest region — in Europe for European users — with a choice of storage region depending on the plan. Personal data stays in the EEA, with GDPR compliance and a DPA available for the firm.
Whole folders
The numbering survives the transfer
The exhibit bundle leaves organized: folder structure and file names preserved — opposing counsel or the court finds their way instantly.
No account
Nothing to install on the other side
Clients, fellow lawyers, experts: they download and drop off via a link, from any browser.

And against WeTransfer?
For a law firm, an account-free password and control over availability matter more than raw size — and that is precisely where the two plans part ways.

Frequently asked questions
How do I send a confidential file to another lawyer?
Create the transfer with a password (shared by phone), send the link: your colleague downloads without an account, you receive the notification by name confirming receipt — and you can disable the link afterwards.
What happens if a link reaches the wrong person?
Disable the transfer immediately from your dashboard: the link stops working. The password, shared through a separate channel, acts as a second barrier.
Are exchanges compliant with the GDPR and professional secrecy?
Transfers are encrypted (SSL/TLS), files are hosted in Europe, a DPA is available, and passphrase-based SSE-C encryption (depending on the plan) makes files unreadable without the key — including to our own teams.
How do I receive documents from an elderly or less tech-savvy client?
Send them your upload link: a simple page in their browser, they drag in their documents, done — no sign-up, nothing to install.
Does a large trial bundle fit in a single transfer?
Yes: up to 5 GB for free and 500 GB with an account, with the bundle organized and numbering preserved.
