Send huge files & folders
between any two devices — free.
No 2 GB cap, no cloud upload queue, no “upgrade to send more.” Pair two browsers with a short code and stream multi-GB videos, disk backups, or whole project folders directly — phone to PC, Mac to Android, or anything in between — over an encrypted peer-to-peer link. Your files never sit on our servers; that’s how we stay 100% free with no size limit.
Most file sites upload your data first — that’s why they cap size and charge for big transfers. FileTransferFree doesn’t store your files at all.

Drop files or a whole folder here
Drag a folder from your file manager, or tap Folder — on Chrome / Edge we use the system folder picker first (no old-style “trust” banner). Other browsers may show a short security check before reading a folder; that is normal for every site, not spam. Or use Choose files. No size limit.
Files go straight to the other device (peer-to-peer); we do not upload your folder to our servers.
Connect to a peer first using the code on the left.

Why people choose FileTransferFree
A modern alternative to email attachments, cloud links, and clunky USB cables.
Huge files and full folders — direct between devices
Move multi-GB videos, disk images, or an entire folder with hundreds of files between phones, PCs, and Macs in one session. Other “free” sites cap uploads and make you wait in a queue; FileTransferFree streams peer-to-peer in your browser — no server copy, no artificial ceiling.
No upload, no waiting
Files stream directly from your browser to the receiver over an encrypted WebRTC tunnel. Nothing is queued on a server, so transfers start instantly and finish at your full link speed.
Works on every device
PC to PC, iPhone to PC, Android to PC, Mac to Linux, tablet to phone — anywhere a modern browser runs. No app to install on either side.
End-to-end peer-to-peer
Files travel directly between devices in a DTLS-encrypted channel. They never touch our servers, so there is nothing for us to scan, log or sell.
No account, no email, no ads in the way
Open the page, share a 6-character code or QR, and send. We never ask for an email, a credit card, or a verification code.
Privacy by design
No tracking pixels, no transfer logs, no file copies left behind. Your files leave your device only to land on the recipient's — then the connection closes.
Built for every transfer scenario
- • PC to PC — drop a folder of project files between two laptops on the same desk or across the world.
- • iPhone to PC — send Live Photos and 4K videos without iCloud or a Lightning cable.
- • Android to PC — move screen recordings and APK builds to your dev machine in seconds.
- • Mac ↔ Windows — finally a true AirDrop replacement that works cross-platform.
- • Phone to Phone — share contacts, photos, or large videos with friends nearby or remote.
Quick FAQ
Is FileTransferFree really 100% free with no size limit?
Yes. Unlike WeTransfer (2 GB free cap), Smash (paid above 2 GB / 7 days), or Send Anywhere (free quota then paid), FileTransferFree imposes no file-size limit, no daily limit, and no monthly quota. There is no paid tier — it is free for personal and commercial use.
How can it be free and unlimited when other sites charge?
Other services charge because they upload your file to their servers and pay for storage and bandwidth. FileTransferFree never stores your file — it streams directly from your browser to the receiver's browser over WebRTC, so our cost per transfer is essentially zero. That is why we can keep it free.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Only a tiny 'signaling' message is exchanged through a public broker so the two browsers can find each other; the file itself flows peer-to-peer in a DTLS-encrypted tunnel.
Can I send an entire folder or huge projects between my phone and PC?
Yes. On desktop, drag a whole folder from your file manager onto the transfer area (or choose many files at once). On phones, select multiple items or send a ZIP. Everything streams browser-to-browser; nothing is pre-uploaded to our servers, so there is no WeTransfer-style size cap on what we will accept.
The fastest way to transfer files for free
FileTransferFree.com lets you send individual huge files or whole folders — photos, videos, documents, backups — directly from one browser to another using WebRTC peer-to-peer. There is no intermediate upload step, so sizes that break email (25 MB) or free cloud tiers simply work here. Use it on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, or ChromeOS with a modern browser.
Your files travel in a direct, encrypted tunnel between the two devices. Nothing is uploaded to a server, stored in the cloud, or visible to anyone else. Once the transfer is complete, the connection closes and nothing is retained. It’s the privacy-respecting way to move files in 2026.
Send full-resolution photos and 4K videos without compression or quality loss.
Transfer large design files, presentations, spreadsheets, and ZIP archives instantly.
Move game saves, ISO files, and large media collections between your PC and other devices.
FileTransferFree vs. paid file-sharing services
Most “free” file-sharing sites are really paywalled trials — small free caps, short link expiry, then a monthly subscription. Because FileTransferFree never stores your file, our cost per transfer is essentially zero, so we can stay 100% free with no size limit at all.
| Service | Free size limit | Daily / monthly cap | Sign-up | Paid plan needed for big files? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FileTransferFree | No cap | None | Never | No — always free |
| WeTransfer Free | 2 GB | Yes | Email required | Yes — Pro from ~$12/mo |
| Smash | 2 GB “fast”, slower above | Yes | Email required | Yes — Pro for speed & long expiry |
| Send Anywhere | ~10 GB free, then quota | Monthly quota | For large links | Yes — paid plan above quota |
| Dropbox / Google Drive link | Plan-dependent | Storage quota | Account required | Yes — paid storage |
| Email attachment | ~25 MB | Mailbox cap | Yes | N/A — too small for big files |
Limits and pricing for third-party services are based on their publicly advertised free plans and can change at any time — check their site for the latest. FileTransferFree has no paid tier and no plans to add one.
FileTransferFree vs. the old ways
Tired of hitting attachment caps, signing up for yet another cloud service, or hunting for the right cable? Here is how FileTransferFree compares to the most common ways people send files today.
| Method | Size limit | Sign-up | Files on a server | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FileTransferFree | No cap | Never | No — direct P2P | Up to your link speed |
| Email attachment | ~25 MB | Yes | Yes (mailbox) | Slow upload & download |
| Cloud share link | Plan-dependent | Yes | Yes (often 30+ days) | Round-trip via cloud |
| USB cable | No cap | No | No | Fast — but you need the cable & a free port |
| Chat / messenger | 100 MB – 2 GB | Yes | Yes (compressed) | Compressed & queued |
How to send a file in three steps
- 1. Open this page on the device that has the file. A short room code appears immediately. No installation, no account.
- 2. Open this page on the other device. Type the code or scan the QR. The two devices connect peer-to-peer.
- 3. Drop your files onto the page. They stream directly to the other browser, end-to-end encrypted, with a real-time progress bar and speed indicator.
That’s it — your file arrives on the other device. You can also send a quick text snippet (a Wi-Fi password, a URL, or a code) using the built-in chat box.
Real-world use cases
- Move iPhone photos to a Windows PC without iTunes, iCloud, or a Lightning cable — just open the page in Safari and Edge.
- Send a 10 GB video to a colleague without uploading to a cloud bucket and waiting hours.
- Share a PDF with a friend across the room when AirDrop refuses to connect or the receiver is on Android.
- Hand off a project folder (zipped) between two laptops on the same Wi-Fi at gigabit-class speeds.
- Push an APK or installer from your dev machine to a test phone without a USB cable.
Why peer-to-peer is better for big files
Cloud-based file sharing services have to upload your data to a server first, store it somewhere, and then let the receiver download it. That round trip wastes time and bandwidth — and it puts a copy of your file on a third-party server you don’t control.
FileTransferFree skips the server. The file leaves the sender’s browser and arrives at the receiver’s browser through a direct, DTLS-encrypted WebRTC channel. There is no upload queue and no download wait — the transfer starts the moment both devices are paired and ends as soon as the last byte arrives. For a large video or a folder of RAW photos, this often means finishing in a fraction of the time.
Privacy is the other big win. Because nothing is stored on our infrastructure, there is nothing for an attacker to steal, nothing for a subpoena to surface, and nothing for us to mine. The file exists only on your device, briefly in transit, and then on the recipient’s device. That’s it.
