TransferXL
Verdict: TransferXL is a great service for sending large files or folders with multiple components to other people. I like that the program archives all files automatically, which surely simplifies users’ life.
Another advantage of this document sender is a very straightforward operation, so even first-time users will cope with the task. Besides, you can share files with other people very quickly, which is paramount for establishing good business relationships.
TransferXL offers users a super-fast and secure method of sending files of different formats to other people. Thanks to top-tier encryption algorithms, your data is kept safe along the route and only users, who know a password, can get access to the content.
When it comes to data transfer, the process can get a bit confusing. However, this is not the case with TansferXL, which stands out with remarkable simplicity. Besides, most operations are performed automatically, taking up little time.
Though the service is accessible from all modern browsers, I recommend opening it in Chrome. Thus, you will manage to import files by dragging and dropping them instead of finding them in folders on your computer.
If you need to send several docs, the program will automatically archive them, eliminating the need to use third-party zip programs. After uploading files, you need to choose the sending method (via email or other platforms), define recipients, and click “Transfer”. If you want, you can add an accompanying text.
Those involved in the photography or videography sphere are typically snowed under with multiple large-size files for sharing with their clients. With TransferXL, you can do this very quickly. The platform allows sending thousands of high-res images without delays. The best part is that the quality of photos and videos won’t degrade.
Today, professional videos are rather heavy and experts usually resort to video compression software to reduce their size before sending them to other people. However, such manipulation drastically affects their quality. The good news is that TransferXL allows sharing media up to 200GB without compromising quality.
Depending on the plan you choose, you can send files to several recipients simultaneously – from 5 to an unlimited number. This is a really fantastic feature considering that most photo transfer apps impose limitations on the range of recipients. Besides, the transferring procedure is fast since you don’t have to create a separate email for every person, you’re sharing your files with. Thanks to the extensive network of servers, the upload and download speeds are on point.
With this bulk email sender at hand, you can send files without being subject to security risks. It uses end-to-end encryption, which means that your files are protected from the get-go to the final stage of the transferring process. Besides, only people who know a password can get access to the transferred files. Even the developer of the service can’t see the content of the archive since the data is encrypted on your computer.
The option that is much feted in TansferXL reviews is the possibility to keep tabs on the status of files transferred. There is a dedicated function, using which you can learn whether your recipient has received the files. Besides, when a person opens an archive and downloads files to his/her device, you receive a notification.
TransferXL is a well-developed file sharing service, allowing users to manage sent and received files. All data transfers are displayed in a straightforward timeline, so you can immediately see which images, videos, and docs you got and which you have sent to other people.
Locating a particular file in your email folders is a no-brainer task, as the program generates thumbnails for all images and most videos. Besides, your recipients get emails with files and their thumbnails for simple navigation across the content. What’s more, you can set a specific background color for every transfer, so your documents will instantly stand out against the rest of the files.
If you have sent the wrong files, you can cancel a transfer, and if they have been already delivered, take advantage of the “Delete” feature and your recipients will never learn what was in the archive.
This app to share large files doesn’t require singing in and anybody can use it for free. However, in this case, you have to put up with some limitations. If this is unacceptable for you, make sure to study available subscription options.
The first variant is the free use of the provided functionality, but after signing into the system. Selecting this option, you can transfer up to 10GB of files on a daily basis. Also, you can keep track of your files and choose up to 5 recipients. However, you will see lots of ads that are likely to hamper your work.
Alternatively, you can spend $9.99/month on the PRO plan. The transfer size maxes at 200GB daily and you can share files with as many people as you need. Nice bonuses include customizable backgrounds and a subdomain.
The Enterprise plan is ideal for businesses that need to send multiple files (up to 400GB/day) all the time. It contains all the features of the PRO plan and some time-saving goodies.
