Before you choose
Which platforms should the service work with?
Start with where you send and receive files. The list covers availability on the web, through an API, on Windows, in self-hosted setups, and on macOS and Android.
What file size and access period fit my needs?
Choose a service whose size ceiling suits the files you plan to send, and whose link duration gives recipients enough time to access them.
Would download monitoring or custom branding be useful?
When visibility into link use or a branded presentation is important, check for activity tracking on downloads and options to customize branding.
Can I try it before paying?
Compare free plans, free trials and paid starting prices where those details are available. SendSafely has a free plan, a starting price of $10 per month and a 14-day trial; rclone has a free plan.
Are API access and a desktop app available?
For software integrations or computer-based work, review whether API access and a desktop app are available.
Questions
What features and costs are worth comparing among file transfer services?
Consider whether a service has a free plan, its paid entry price, file-size and link-duration limits, download tracking, API access, branding options and a desktop app.
Which file transfer services support Android?
Android availability is one of the compared platform details. Look at each service's entry to see whether Android is listed.
Can I use a file transfer service without paying?
A free plan is listed for services such as rclone and SendSafely. The comparison also indicates which services include a free plan.
Do file transfer services offer API access?
API availability is among the features compared. Review an individual service's entry to see whether it has API access.
What is the difference between a free plan and a free trial?
A free plan is listed separately from a free trial. SendSafely lists both, including a 14-day trial.
