Best for sending large files for free from Switzerland
SwissTransfer sends files up to 50 GB a transfer by link or email with no account, and files are stored in Switzerland. Links last 1 to 30 days, that is temporary sharing, and paid prices could not be read.
Who SwissTransfer is for
- Fits if you send big files now and then and want them stored in Switzerland
- Works for people who do not want to make an account
Who SwissTransfer is not for
- Not for you if you want files kept, as they are deleted when the link expires
- Tight if a link must last longer than 30 days or past 250 downloads
- Watch out: the paid prices were not readable, and swisstransfer.com refused access from our location
Why SwissTransfer gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyThe paid offers add branding, history and unlimited downloads, but their prices could not be read, so there is nothing to compare.
- BFree plan and trial50 GB a transfer, up to 250 downloads and links of 1 to 30 days, with no account. Files are deleted when the link expires.
- CFeaturesOne job: send files by link, with paid extras. It does that job fully, but it is a smaller job than storage.
- BEase of useNo store rating on record. Add files, send, done, with no account.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iOS and Android, with kDrive from the same maker.

Keep SwissTransfer, or make your own?
Keep it
Nothing SwissTransfer does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 62 of the 91 other file storage and sync services we grade.
What you could not
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- A file manager working directly on your disk.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. SwissTransfer’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is SwissTransfer?
SwissTransfer is Infomaniak's file transfer service for sending files up to 50 GB per transfer by link or e-mail, with no account needed. Files are stored in Switzerland and deleted when the link expires. Paid offers add branding, history and unlimited downloads.
Worth knowing
- It is temporary sharing, not archiving: files are deleted when the link expires.
- Free links last 1 to 30 days and 250 downloads; longer validity and unlimited downloads need a paid offer.
- Paid-offer prices could not be read from Infomaniak's prices page, so none are listed.
- The swisstransfer.com site refused access from our location as unavailable in the region.
