## Good for

- One-off sharing of large files without signing up
- People who want files kept in Switzerland

## 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** The paid offers add branding, history and unlimited downloads, but their prices could not be read, so there is nothing to compare.
- **Free plan and trial: B.** 50 GB a transfer, up to 250 downloads and links of 1 to 30 days, with no account. Files are deleted when the link expires.
- **Features: C.** One job: send files by link, with paid extras. It does that job fully, but it is a smaller job than storage.
- **Ease of use: B.** No store rating on record. Add files, send, done, with no account.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iOS and Android, with kDrive from the same maker.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could not: Storing and serving files for other people.
- You could not: A file manager working directly on your disk.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
