Been using this on and off for a couple of years to shift design files between studio machines and it has never lost a file. The encryption gives me peace of mind for client work. UI feels slightly dated and the settings are a bit buried, but functionally it's rock solid.
Dependable, encrypted, handles huge files
Slightly dated interface
The 6-digit key is neat for real-time sharing, but I didn't realise at first that the direct transfer needs both people online at the same time. For async sharing you have to use the link upload which has caps. It does the job, just had to adjust how I use it. Speed is good when it works.
Quick real-time transfers, no account
Direct mode needs both devices online simultaneously
The direct device-to-device transfer is genuinely fast and the key system is clever. But when I use the link option instead, free links expire in 48 hours and the storage cap is tiny unless you pay. I'm torn because the core idea is great, I just wish the free tier retention was more generous.
Fast P2P transfers, simple key system
Short link retention and small free storage
For sending one large file quickly to someone, this is excellent and the 6-digit key never failed me. As an actual storage solution it falls short, the free space fills up fast and premium pricing felt a bit steep for what you get. Decent tool but I keep switching back and forth depending on the task.
Reliable for one-off large transfers
Limited free storage, premium feels pricey
I bounce between a Mac, an Android tablet and a Windows desktop daily and this is the one tool that just works across all three. The key pairing is instant and direct transfers fly on the same network. Bought a year of premium to skip the ads and remove caps, totally worth it for the speed alone.
Flawless across Mac, Android and Windows; fast direct transfers
Love that I can fire off a transfer in seconds without an account. The web version is handy when I'm on a borrowed machine and don't want to install anything. The only thing pulling it down is the ad clutter on the free download page, feels a touch much at times.
No-install web option, very quick to use
Ads on the download page
A 6GB presentation was too big for email and our company Drive was full. Typed a key, sent it to my colleague in another city, done in minutes. No sign-up, no fiddling with sharing permissions. This is exactly how file transfer should work.
No limits, no signup, fast and effortless
Snapping a key code on my phone and grabbing the files on my desktop is so much faster than emailing them to myself. Cross-platform works flawlessly between Android and Windows for me. Wish the mobile app were a little lighter though, it eats battery during long uploads.
Seamless cross-platform, fast key-based pairing
Mobile app drains battery on big uploads
I had to move a massive RAW photo archive to a client and this handled the whole 22GB without splitting or compressing anything. The receiver just typed the key and the download started immediately, resumable when their wifi dropped halfway. No registration, no nagging, end-to-end encryption on the direct transfer. Easily the smoothest big-file tool I've used.
Truly no size limits, resumable downloads, encrypted P2P
Tested it with a 40GB game backup expecting it to break and it just kept going, resuming cleanly after I paused overnight. The receiver only needed the key. After years of fighting upload caps elsewhere this felt like magic. Highly recommend for anyone moving genuinely large files.
Handles enormous files, resumable, simple key sharing
Tried to send a 9GB folder of documents and the transfer dropped three times around the 60% mark, forcing me to restart from scratch each time since the resume didn't kick in. Single files were fine but anything with thousands of small items choked. Disappointing because I specifically chose it for the no-size-limit claim.
Single-file transfers were fine
Large folder transfers dropped and wouldn't resume
Moving a 4GB video project from my laptop to a friend's PC took one 6-digit code and no account setup. Speeds were solid on a direct transfer and there were no size limits like the usual cloud services impose. Only gripe is the free version pushes you toward the app pretty hard and the download page has a few ads.
No size limits, instant 6-digit key sharing, no account needed
Ads and constant nudges to install the app
What sells me is the end-to-end encryption on direct transfers plus the speed, I sent a 12GB folder of videos and it finished faster than uploading to any cloud. The 6-digit key means I never expose a public link. Set it up once, recommended it to my whole team, everyone is hooked.
Encrypted, very fast, key-based privacy
