Frequently asked questions

  • How large a file can I send?

    With a free account you can send files up to 3 GB per transfer. With Pro up to 100GB, no quota.

  • Does the recipient need an account to download?

    No. The recipient just clicks the link and downloads. If you turn on recipient verification — the recipient gets an email with a code they have to confirm. But no account is created.

  • What is recipient verification?

    A Pro feature that requires the person clicking the link to verify their email with a one-time code before they can download. Three levels:

    • Off — anyone with the link can download
    • Exact email — only the address you sent to
    • Domain — all addresses on domains you have whitelisted

    It's a nice protection if you don't want recipients to forward the link to others who also want to download the file.

  • What is burn on delivery?

    A Pro feature that permanently deletes the file right after the first download. The link stops working. Good for one-off documents you don't want to be downloadable multiple times or forwarded.

  • Do I get notified when someone downloads?

    Yes, if you have it turned on. Under Account → Profile → Notifications you can toggle four different email notifications:

    • When a transfer is confirmed sent
    • When the recipient downloads
    • Reminder 24 hours before expiry if the file hasn't been downloaded
    • When the file expires without having been downloaded

    You can also override these per individual transfer under "Advanced options" before you press Send.

  • What's the difference between a sponsor seat and a domain seat?

    Both are ways you as a business customer can cover Pro access for others, at the same price with volume discount.

    • Sponsor seat — you add each individual user you're going to pay for. You have 100% control. You're the sponsor for these users for as long as you want.
    • Domain seat — for companies with many employees who need access to the service. First you verify the domain they'll have access from (@yourcompany.com). Employees register from this domain and you get an email where you choose yearly/monthly access or decline. Very simple.
  • Where are my files stored?

    All files are stored on servers in the EU. As of today we do not use US-based cloud services for file storage. Files are encrypted at-rest, data transfer is encrypted with TLS. After expiry the file is permanently deleted within 1 hour.
