Two ways to send a file
Upload-based services work like a locker: you put the file in, the service keeps it for a while, and the recipient picks it up later. That is handy when you can't be online at the same time, but your file sits on someone else's servers, and free plans have size and storage limits.
ShareUrFiles works like a direct handover: your device gives the file to the recipient's device through an encrypted connection. Nothing is stored, so nothing is capped.
When ShareUrFiles is the better choice
- Very large files: videos, raw photos, backups, disk images.
- Confidential files you don't want stored on a third-party server.
- Urgent transfers: the download starts while you send, with no upload step first.
- Sharing with people who don't have an account anywhere.
When cloud storage is the better choice
If you need the file to stay available for weeks, or the recipient will download it at a time when your device is off, a cloud storage service fits better. Many people use both: ShareUrFiles for fast, private transfers, cloud storage for long-term sharing.
Questions on this topic
Is ShareUrFiles free like other transfer services?
Yes. The Free plan has no time limit and no file size limit. Paid plans add speed, more recipients and protection.
Does the recipient need to sign up?
No. Recipients open a link or type a code in their browser, nothing more.
Can I send a file to someone who is offline?
Not with a direct transfer. Both devices must be online at the same time, which is what keeps your file off the cloud.

Drop a file and share a 6-digit code. No size limit, even for free.
