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, optionally set a password or expiry date, and share the generated link. The whole process takes under a minute.

No. Anyone can send files up to the displayed limit per transfer on EveryTransfer without creating an account. A free account adds higher limits, download notifications, and transfer management.

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 any number of files into the EveryTransfer uploader; 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.

Guest transfers on EveryTransfer allow up to the displayed limit per transfer without an account. Free and paid accounts raise the ceiling significantly — 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, with chunked uploads that survive connection drops.

The sender chooses the expiry date per transfer, within their plan's retention window. Paid EveryTransfer plans offer longer retention, and some allow transfers that 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, senders can add password protection and expiry per transfer, and paid plans add file encryption at rest. Details: https://everytransfer.com/feature/security

Enable the password option when creating a transfer on EveryTransfer; 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. EveryTransfer supports all of these per transfer: https://everytransfer.com/blog/safest-way-to-send-sensitive-documents

Only people with the link — plus the password, if set. 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 notifications and analytics on EveryTransfer also show you exactly when and from where files were accessed.

Auto-expiring links, automatic deletion, encryption, 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 transfer sizes, more storage, longer retention, password protection and encryption everywhere, custom domains and branding, file requests, teams, tracking pixels, and API access. Comparison: https://everytransfer.com/plan

Paid plans come with a 14-day money-back guarantee — full refund, no questions asked. Where enabled, trials require no credit card.

Major credit and debit cards, PayPal, and a wide range of regional payment methods depending on your country.

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

Yes. Per-transfer analytics show views, downloads, referrers, countries, devices, and browsers. Details: https://everytransfer.com/feature/analytics

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, any length. Guide: https://everytransfer.com/blog/how-to-send-long-videos-on-whatsapp

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

No size cap, no inbox bloat, password and expiry control, and you can see when files are downloaded. 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 — a REST API for creating transfers, uploading files, and managing projects, domains, pixels, and notification handlers. Documentation: https://everytransfer.com/api-documentation

Yes. 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.
