Capabilities
Everything you need
Here's how EveryTransfer delivers on receive files from anyone with features designed for professionals.
One Link, Unlimited Senders
Create a single receive link and share it with as many people as you need. Each person uploads independently through their browser — no account required, no app to install, no technical knowledge needed. Works on every device and every browser.
Chunked & Resumable Uploads
Senders get the same enterprise-grade upload experience as your own transfers. Large files are automatically split into chunks, uploads resume after interruptions, and real-time progress tracking keeps them informed. Even multi-gigabyte files upload reliably.
Password Protection
Optionally lock your receive link with a password so only authorized people can upload. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text. Share the password separately for an extra layer of security — perfect for sensitive document collection.
Submission Limits
Set a maximum number of submissions per receive link. Once the limit is reached, the link automatically deactivates. This gives you precise control over how many people can upload — ideal for limited-slot applications, contest entries, or one-time document requests.
Auto-Expiring Links
Set an expiration date and time on any receive link. Once expired, the link is deactivated and no further uploads are accepted. Perfect for time-sensitive requests like project deadlines, event submissions, and seasonal campaigns.
Project Organization
Assign receive links to projects to keep incoming files organized alongside your outgoing transfers. Filter, search, and manage everything from a single dashboard. No more lost files or scattered uploads across email threads.
Simple Process
How it works
Get started in three simple steps. No complicated setup, no learning curve.
Create a Receive Link
Give your receive link a title and optional description. Set a submission limit, expiration date, or password if needed. Your unique link is generated instantly — ready to share in seconds.
Share with Anyone
Send the link via email, Slack, WhatsApp, or embed it on a webpage. Recipients see a clean, branded upload page where they can drag and drop files and add a message. No sign-up required.
Get Notified & Download
Receive an email notification when someone uploads files. Every submission creates a transfer in your account with full download access, analytics, and management controls. Review, download, or forward — it's all in your dashboard.

Got Questions?
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about receive files from anyone.
Do people need an account to upload files to my receive link?
No. Anyone with the link (and the password, if you set one) can upload files directly through their browser. They don't need to create an account, install an app, or log in. It works on any device — desktop, tablet, or phone.
Does receiving files count against my storage and plan limits?
Yes. All files uploaded through your receive links are stored in your account and count toward your plan's storage limit, transfer size limit, and files-per-transfer limit. This ensures you maintain full control over your usage.
Can I set a limit on how many people can submit files?
Yes. When creating a receive link, you can set a maximum number of submissions. Once that number is reached, the link is automatically deactivated and no further uploads are accepted. Leave it blank for unlimited submissions.
What happens when a receive link expires?
When a receive link reaches its expiration date, it is deactivated. Anyone who visits the link will see a message that the request has expired. Files that were already uploaded remain in your account and are not affected.
Can I password-protect my receive link?
Yes. You can set a password on any receive link. Visitors must enter the correct password before they can upload any files. This is useful when you want to share the link publicly but restrict actual uploads to authorized people.
How do I know when someone uploads files?
You receive an email notification each time someone submits files through your receive link. You can also check your dashboard at any time to see all submissions, including the sender's email, their message, and the uploaded files.
Can I create multiple receive links?
Yes. You can create as many receive links as your plan allows. Each link can have its own title, description, password, submission limit, and expiration date. This is useful when collecting files for different projects or from different groups of people.
Is this similar to WeTransfer's file request feature?
Yes, the concept is similar — you create a link and others upload files to you. However, our implementation includes additional features like submission limits, project organization, password protection, and full integration with your existing transfer dashboard and analytics.
