Today, video recording quality is improving daily and the size of video files is also increasing. We thus end up with files as large as several Gbs. Luckily TransferNow enables you to share videos of every size.
Once your files are uploaded and your transfer is available for download, your users can preview and stream the videos, audio or other files such as PDF documents. For example, it is very useful before downloading hefty videos.
Facilitate recurring file sending to the same contacts and recipients by adding or importing the contacts from your address book. In this way, you will save time by no longer having to systematically enter your contacts' emails.

We neither sell nor share email addresses or personal data of our users with third parties. With due regard for the proper functioning of our service, we send an email to users that have made a recent or repeated transfer in the two following cases: unavailability of service or major changes in service (important updates, changes in terms of use, limits, etc.).
Your personal data is encrypted in transit using SSL/TLS (https) protocol, as well when at rest, according to the 256 bits advanced encryption norm, and each encryption key is itself encrypted through a set of main keys in regular turnover.
Safety, confidentiality as well as integrity of the files you upload is our absolute priority. Thus, we are doing everything we can to guarantee their safety.

I have used Filemail for several months and find it very easy to use. It solved problems we have here at the bank when we need to send large files. The platform also provides a secure way to send confidential information back and forth between the bank and our customers.

Filemail has solved all my file transfers problems I have had in the past. Fast reliable, friendly to use. Very happy with the service. We send our shows all over the world, Filemail is a great help.
I have tried to upload a 300GB file to dropbox (I have 1TB capacity) using the Mac desktop application and I am being informed that there isn't enough free space. I bought this extra memory as dropbox write:"Files uploaded to Dropbox via the desktop application or mobile apps have no file size limit". Am I doing something wrong?
If you're trying to upload the file through the website you won't be able to as it has a file size limit of 10GB. For files larger than 10GB you need to download and install the Dropbox client. This will create a local Dropbox folder on your computer and sync everything in your account. Simply place your file in that folder and wait for it to sync. Be patient, because a 66GB file will take a long time to upload.

Dropbox is a real life local folder that resides on your machine. That means it takes up space. Once things are uploaded you can remove them locally via Selective Sync but they MUST go in the Dropbox folder first if they are large.
I need to upload 300GB of photos and other very large files DIRECT to dropbox from an external hard-drive, where the drive on my Mac has only around 90GB of free spaces. Hence the files would need to go from Hard-drive direct to dropbox. Once in dropbox I can select sync the files I want copied on my mac.
I am using dropbox desktop to upload a bunch of files for clients. Each client has a folder created for them, and in that folder are files that are up to roughly 10gb in size. The client and I are not sharing back and forth, all they need to do is download the files in that folder once. I would assume that most of my clients are not dropbox members, and are trying to download with the web client.
On the web client, there is a download button so they can download the contents of that folder. However, everyone who tries to download the files get the same message: "file is too large to download".
The File is too large to download message is referring to the limits for downloading a folder of files, which is 1GB in size or containing 10,000 files. Anything above those limits will produce an error if they try to download the folder whole. Instead they would need to download the individual files within the folder.
An alternative solution would be for you to Zip the folder ahead of time and providing a link directly to the Zipped file. Share links to a file have no size limitations (other than the size of your account) like those for a folder. Also, if they have a Dropbox account with enough available space to hold the folder, they can select the Add to my Dropbox option to have the folder automatically saved to their Dropbox account.
Another limitation to be mindful of is the amount of bandwidth used daily for your share links. Basic accounts have a total of 20GB of bandwidth and Plus accounts have 200GB. This is per day on a 24-hour sliding window.
