Frequently asked questions

EveryTransfer (https://everytransfer.com/) is a secure file transfer service for sending large files. You upload files, get a shareable download link, and send it to anyone — no software to install on either end.

Go to https://everytransfer.com/, drag your files into the upload box and share the generated link. Links expire automatically; paid plans can add a password or keep links forever. The whole process takes under a minute.

No. Anyone can send files up to 1 GB per transfer on EveryTransfer without creating an account (up to 5 files, links last 3 days). A free account raises that to 2 GB and 10 files per transfer with 15-day links, and adds download stats, 1 file request, and a dashboard to manage your transfers.

No. Recipients just open the link (and enter the password if one was set) and download. EveryTransfer never requires recipients to sign up.

Yes. Drag entire folders or multiple files into the EveryTransfer uploader (up to 5 files per transfer as a guest, 10 with a free account, and 100 to unlimited on paid plans); they are delivered together under one link, and recipients can download everything at once or pick individual files.

Any file type — documents, images, RAW photos, video, audio, archives, design files, code. EveryTransfer also previews common formats (images, video, audio, PDFs) in the recipient's browser.

Yes. EveryTransfer works in any mobile browser for both sending and receiving — recipients just tap the link. No app installation is required.

Guests on EveryTransfer can send up to 1 GB per transfer, and free accounts up to 2 GB. Paid plans raise the ceiling to 20 GB (Essential), 40 GB (Professional), or unlimited (Enterprise) — current limits are listed at https://everytransfer.com/plan.

Email providers cap attachments around 20-25 MB. Upload the files to EveryTransfer instead and email the download link — guide: https://everytransfer.com/blog/send-files-too-big-for-email

Use a transfer link instead of an attachment. EveryTransfer handles files far beyond email limits — 1 GB free, up to 40 GB on Professional and unlimited on Enterprise — with chunked uploads that survive connection drops.

Guest links last 3 days and free-account links 15 days. On paid EveryTransfer plans the sender chooses the expiry per transfer, and links can be set to never expire.

The download link is deactivated and the files are permanently deleted from EveryTransfer's storage. Expiry is a privacy feature — files don't linger forever.

Yes. Account holders can delete any transfer early from the EveryTransfer dashboard, which immediately disables the link and removes the files.

Yes. EveryTransfer supports per-transfer download limits — after the cap is reached, the link stops serving files. Useful for licensed deliveries and one-recipient sends.

Yes. All transfers use TLS/SSL encryption in transit and links expire automatically; paid plans add password protection, custom expiry, and file encryption at rest. Details: https://everytransfer.com/feature/security

On a paid EveryTransfer plan (Essential and above), enable the password option when creating a transfer; recipients must enter it before viewing or downloading. Share the password through a separate channel — guide: https://everytransfer.com/blog/how-to-password-protect-files-before-sending

An encrypted transfer link with a password, an expiry date, and a download limit — with the password shared separately. Paid EveryTransfer plans support all of these per transfer: https://everytransfer.com/blog/safest-way-to-send-sensitive-documents

Only people with the link — plus the password, if one was set on a paid plan. Transfers are not listed publicly or indexed by search engines, and files are deleted on expiry.

Use a password and a download limit so a leaked link is useless on its own. Download stats (free account) and notifications (paid plans) on EveryTransfer also show you when and from where files were accessed.

Auto-expiring links, automatic deletion, encryption in transit (and at rest on paid plans), and download logs map directly to GDPR principles like storage limitation and security. Practical guide: https://everytransfer.com/blog/gdpr-compliant-file-sharing

Yes. Account holders can enable 2FA for login, adding a one-time code on top of the password.

Every public download page links to a report-abuse form. Reports are reviewed and offending transfers are removed.

Sending files as a guest is free, and the free account is free forever. Paid plans add bigger transfers, longer retention, branding, and integrations — current pricing: https://everytransfer.com/plan

Larger transfers (20 GB to unlimited), more storage, links that never expire, no ads, password protection and file encryption, download notifications, custom domains and branding removal, more file requests, projects, teams, tracking pixels, and API access. Comparison: https://everytransfer.com/plan

Every paid plan (monthly, annual or lifetime) has a 14-day money-back guarantee — full refund, no questions asked. The Professional plan also includes a 7-day free trial.

PayPal worldwide, and UPI, cards and netbanking via Razorpay in India.

Yes. Upgrades are prorated, downgrades apply at the next billing cycle, and cancelling keeps paid features until the period ends — then the account reverts to free with data preserved.

Yes, on paid plans. EveryTransfer sends download notifications by email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, or webhook the moment files are picked up.

Yes, with any account. Free accounts get 15 days of download stats and paid plans keep up to a year; per-transfer analytics show views, downloads, referrers, countries, devices, and browsers. Details: https://everytransfer.com/feature/analytics

Yes. Paid plans support custom domains so download pages live on your own brand, e.g. files.yourcompany.com. Details: https://everytransfer.com/feature/custom-branding

Yes. Every paid plan removes the EveryTransfer branding, and Professional and Enterprise white-label download pages entirely — your logo, your colors, optional custom CSS and JavaScript.

Yes. File requests give you a link where clients upload files directly to you, no account needed on their end. Free accounts get 1 request; Essential 100, Professional 500, Enterprise unlimited. Details: https://everytransfer.com/feature/receive-files — guide: https://everytransfer.com/blog/how-to-collect-files-from-clients

Yes. Paid plans let you choose a custom URL slug per transfer, and every transfer can generate a QR code for instant mobile sharing.

Yes. EveryTransfer can email the transfer to recipients directly, or you can copy the link and share it anywhere yourself.

Yes, on paid plans. Essential includes 1 team with 1 member, Professional 3 teams with 5 members, and Enterprise unlimited teams and members; each member gets their own permissions, and projects keep client work organized. Details: https://everytransfer.com/feature/teams

Upload full-resolution images to EveryTransfer, enable gallery preview, add a password (paid plans), and send one link — with download tracking so you know the client got them. Guide: https://everytransfer.com/blog/how-to-deliver-photo-galleries-to-clients

A chunked, resumable transfer link — 4K files are too big for email and chat apps compress them. Workflow guide: https://everytransfer.com/blog/best-way-to-send-4k-video-footage

WhatsApp compresses video heavily. Upload the original to EveryTransfer and share the link in the chat instead — full quality, up to your plan's size limit. Guide: https://everytransfer.com/blog/how-to-send-long-videos-on-whatsapp

Through branded transfer links on a custom domain, organized by project, with download notifications when the client picks files up — all standard on paid EveryTransfer plans.

Create a file request link on EveryTransfer; clients drag their documents in without creating an account, and everything arrives in your dashboard.

Yes. EveryTransfer offers no-account sending, plus password protection, custom expiry, notifications, analytics, custom domains, and an API on paid plans. Comparison: https://everytransfer.com/blog/best-wetransfer-alternatives

Cloud drives are built for storing and syncing; EveryTransfer is built for delivering — one-off transfers with expiry, no permission headaches, and no storage quota juggling. Comparison: https://everytransfer.com/blog/dropbox-vs-wetransfer-vs-everytransfer

Far bigger files (1 GB free, up to unlimited on Enterprise), no inbox bloat, auto-expiring links, and download stats with a free account — plus passwords on paid plans. Attachments offer none of that.

For most teams, yes — browser-based links need no server, client software, or credentials, and the REST API covers automated workflows. Guide: https://everytransfer.com/blog/ftp-alternatives

Yes — on paid plans (Essential and above), a REST API for creating transfers, uploading files, and managing projects, domains, pixels, and notification handlers. Documentation: https://everytransfer.com/api-documentation

Yes, on paid plans. Use the API to create transfers programmatically and webhooks to react to downloads — suitable for delivery pipelines, client portals, and internal tooling. Details: https://everytransfer.com/feature/api

Uploads are chunked and resumable, so a dropped connection resumes where it left off instead of starting over — important for multi-gigabyte files on unstable networks.

Upload speed is limited by your internet connection's upload bandwidth. EveryTransfer uploads chunks in parallel to use your available bandwidth efficiently; on slow links, large files simply take time.

No. Expired transfers are permanently deleted as a privacy measure. Ask the sender to re-upload and send a fresh link with a longer expiry.
