The report card
Best for one-off encrypted file sends
Tresorit Send is a free web tool for sending files up to 5 GB through encrypted links with no sign-up. It sends and does not store, and the page we could read does not say how long a link lasts.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Free outright, with 5 GB a transfer and no account. |
| Free plan and trial | A | Free with no sign-up and no cap a normal person reaches for the sends it is made for. |
| Features | C | One job: send an encrypted link, with optional password and a Chrome extension. It does that fully, but it is a smaller job than storage. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record. No sign-up and nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web and a Chrome extension only. No apps or integrations. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Tresorit Send is for
- Fits if you send the odd large file and want it encrypted
- Works for people who do not want to register
Who it is not for

- Skip it if you need files over 5 GB a transfer
- Watch out: link expiry and download limits are not published on the page we could read
- Not for you if you need apps or integrations, as only a Chrome extension is listed
