WeTransfer alternatives
Last checked
WeTransfer Free allows 3 GB and 10 transfers a month, keeps files for up to 3 days and is for non-commercial use only. The alternatives below fall into two groups: services that upload your file and give the other person a link to pick it up later, and peer-to-peer tools that send it straight to the other device and keep nothing. Every limit comes from the product's own site, checked between 2026-10-28 and 2026-10-30.

Upload now, the other person downloads later
Pick one of these when the receiver is not online at the same time as you.
- SendGB: up to 5 GB per transfer without an account, kept for up to 7 days, up to 5 email recipients and a free password. SendGB compared with tosstome.
- Send Anywhere: a 6-digit key that works for 10 minutes, with no cap on key transfers, or a share link that lasts 48 hours, with 10 GB of link downloads a month on a free account. Send Anywhere compared with tosstome.
Send device to device, nothing stored
These send while both sides are online, so there is no monthly allowance and no copy left on a server. The trade-off is that the receiver cannot pick the file up tomorrow.
- ToffeeShare: WebRTC with end-to-end encryption (DTLS 1.3), no size limit, available while your browser tab stays open.
- FilePizza: open source; share a link and keep your tab open until the download finishes. Good for one file to several people.
- JustBeamIt: a link for a single transfer that expires after 10 minutes.
- tosstome: this site. Nearby devices on the same Wi-Fi appear on their own, a 6-digit code connects devices on different networks, and
tosstome listenkeeps an always-on inbox on a computer. If a direct connection fails, a relay forwards the bytes without storing them; that relay is not end-to-end encrypted yet. WeTransfer compared with tosstome.
How to choose
- The receiver will download it later: WeTransfer, SendGB or a Send Anywhere link.
- You send more than 3 GB a month for free: a peer-to-peer tool, which has no monthly allowance.
- The file must not sit on someone else's server: ToffeeShare, FilePizza, JustBeamIt or tosstome.
- Between your own phone and computer: tosstome, which finds the other device without a link. For very large files see sending large files.
Questions
Is there a free WeTransfer alternative without a monthly limit?
Peer-to-peer tools such as ToffeeShare, FilePizza, JustBeamIt and tosstome have no monthly allowance, because nothing is stored. Both devices must be online during the transfer.
Which WeTransfer alternative does not keep a copy of my files?
ToffeeShare, FilePizza, JustBeamIt and tosstome send directly and store nothing. WeTransfer, SendGB and Send Anywhere links keep the file on their servers for a few days.
