Sending big files online can be tough. Discord limits you to 25MB (now lowered to 10MB). Email can’t handle big files. WeTransfer caps you at 3GB. Google Drive seems messy and invades privacy.
Finally, a solution:
Send files free with no size limit using Transfer.zip
Transfer.zip lets you send files of any size, for free. It’s open-source and on GitHub here. You can even host it yourself to ensure privacy. The official version uses the same verifiable code, ensuring safety.
Struggling to send large files? Try this! It’s different and might be exactly what you need. The key feature is Quick Share. It sends files with no size limit.
Here’s how it works:
Quick Share uses WebRTC for peer-to-peer transfer. Files stream directly and aren’t stored. No data is saved on Transfer.zip’s servers. Files are encrypted using a client-side key, and data is safe even if traffic is intercepted. With direct peer-to-peer streaming, there are no size or bandwidth limits.
How to use Quick Share
1. Visit the site and choose your files
Go to Transfer.zip. Select your files or even a folder. The file name appears in a box once selected.
2. Click send
After choosing files, hit Send. A QR code and a shareable link appear. The link includes a unique file ID and an encryption key. Transfer.zip never sees the key.

3. Scan the QR code or share the link
Let others scan the QR code or send the link. Devices try to connect peer-to-peer. If blocked by firewalls, files relay through servers. They’re still secure and encrypted.
4. Wait during the transfer
Once connected, transfers start. They’re in real-time. If someone closes the browser, the transfer stops. This is a Quick Share limit but allows big file sizes. Speed depends on internet connections. Large files need patience!
5. Done!
Transfer complete! If issues arise, report them on GitHub.
