Free to send under 3GB, then one clear rate per GB: no surprises.
Your recipient watches it arrive in real time, and downloads are available before your upload has even finished.
Four steps, most of them instant.
An instant quote appears before anything uploads: free under the threshold, priced above it.
Files go straight to storage from your browser: no queue, no bottleneck on our end.
A live progress bar, visible to you and to your recipient, on both sides of the transfer.
Recipients pull finished parts as they land: no waiting for the whole upload to complete first.
RAW stills, video masters, camera-raw folders: not just documents.
Free under the threshold, one clear rate per GB above it. No subscription required to send files.
Your recipient sees the upload arriving before it's finished: not just a spinner on their end.
Streaming download means the wait for large files is roughly halved, not doubled into two waits.
Files expire on download by default, or hold for 7 or 28 days for a small add-on.
Under the free threshold, there's nothing to sign up for: just send.
Enterprise-grade cloud storage underneath: fast and reliable, not a bottlenecked upload queue.
