20 GB transfer guide
How to send a 20 GB file for free
Send one very large file—or a group of files totaling up to 20 GB—with resumable browser uploads and no paid plan.
Upload files for free · Up to 20 GB · No account required.
The short answer
Twenty gigabytes is the maximum size of one SendFile transfer. A single file can use that allowance, or you can combine up to 100 files as long as their total stays within the limit.
Check the total size
Confirm the selected files add up to no more than 20 GB and that your device can keep the originals available.
Use a stable browser session
Start the upload on a reliable connection, keep the tab open, and let the resumable chunk process finish.
Copy the expiring link
Choose one or seven days, optionally add a password, and send the link after the transfer is ready.
Useful details
Know what happens before you upload.
Prepare a transfer near the limit
A file reported as 20 GB by one app may be measured slightly differently by another. If the upload panel says the transfer exceeds the limit, remove an extra file or create a slightly smaller archive.
Keep the source file available and avoid editing or moving it until the upload completes.
How resumable upload helps
SendFile uploads large files in chunks rather than sending the full 20 GB in one request. That makes retries smaller and allows an interrupted pending upload to continue when you reselect the exact original file.
Resume support reduces wasted progress, but upload time still depends on your upstream speed; 20 GB can take hours on a slow connection.
Free limits and expiry
The transfer service costs €0 and has no subscription tier. Each transfer can be up to 20 GB, an account is optional, and the available expiry choices are one day or seven days.
The 20 GB limit applies to the whole transfer. Signed-in users also have a 20 GB active storage allowance, so removing an older active transfer may be necessary before creating another full-size one.
