WeTransfer limits the size and number of transfers on its free plan and still requires an email address to get started. With MegaFile, you can upload and share large files completely anonymously, without creating anything: simply choose how long to keep them online, from 3 days to 6 months.
* subject to our fair-use policy and technical network limits.
Sharing large files should be simple, secure and free of unnecessary steps.
WeTransfer is one of the best-known file-sharing services, but its free plan comes with concrete limits: 3 GB per transfer, a maximum number of transfers per month and advanced features reserved for paid subscriptions. For anyone working with 4K videos, large ZIP archives, RAW photo libraries or project backups, these limits quickly become a daily obstacle.
MegaFile was created specifically to meet this need: no account to create, no predefined file-size limit and genuine encryption applied directly on your device before the file even leaves your computer or smartphone. All we ask is that you accept the Terms of Use and choose how long the file should remain online — from 3 days to 6 months — after which it is automatically deleted from our servers.

WeTransfer sources: wetransfer.com/pricing — Free: 3 GB per transfer, 10 transfers within a rolling 30-day window. Starter: up to 300 GB per transfer, 10 transfers every 30 days (300 GB total). See also help.wetransfer.com.
No rigid thresholds and no registration forms: send 4K videos, ZIP archives and large projects without worry, subject to fair use.
Every file is encrypted with AES-256 directly on your device before upload. The key exists only in the link: not even we can read your files.
You choose how long the file remains available: 3, 7 or 14 days, or 1, 3 or 6 months. When the period expires, it is deleted automatically.
Drag files into the upload area or select them from your device. No account to create.
Decide how long the file should remain online, from 3 days to 6 months, according to your needs.
The file is encrypted locally and uploaded securely. You immediately receive a link to share.
The file is fully encrypted on your device before leaving your connection, so it reaches the server already encrypted. You immediately receive a unique link that you can copy and share with anyone by email, chat or any other channel.
Anyone who opens the link can download the file without creating an account. If you set a password, they will be asked for it before downloading. The file is automatically decrypted only at the time of download.
When the selected duration expires (3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 1, 3 or 6 months), the file is automatically deleted from our servers and the link stops working. No manual action is required from you.
No. MegaFile does not impose a predefined size limit on the files you upload. You can easily send large files such as 4K videos, ZIP archives containing hundreds of documents, RAW images, or very large CAD projects and renderings. Unlike services such as WeTransfer, whose free plan is limited to 3 GB, MegaFile gives you the freedom to transfer files without an artificial cap, subject to the Terms and Conditions and technical network limits.
No. MegaFile requires neither an account nor registration: there are no usernames, personal passwords or profiles to create. Upload the file, choose how long to keep it online and accept the Terms of Use — that is all. The entire service is designed for completely anonymous use.
You decide at the time of upload: choose 3, 7 or 14 days, or 1, 3 or 6 months. When the selected period expires, the file is automatically deleted from our servers and the link is no longer valid. This lets you adapt the duration to quick sharing or projects that require more time.
Absolutely, and genuinely so: every file is encrypted with AES-256 directly on your device before the upload even begins. The key required to decrypt it is never stored on our servers; it exists only within the link you share. This means that not even the people operating MegaFile can open or read your files — only someone with the link has the key to do so.
Once the upload is complete, MegaFile automatically generates a unique and secure link. You can send the link by email or share it through WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack or any other channel. Recipients do not need to register: they simply click the link to download the files immediately.
Certainly. Architecture firms, creative agencies, videomakers, photographers, developers and anyone handling very large files can use MegaFile as a practical solution for high-resolution renderings, photo libraries, video campaigns or entire databases, without expensive subscriptions or corporate accounts to manage. For longer projects, simply choose a longer retention period, up to 6 months.
Unlike WeTransfer, whose free plan imposes a maximum of 3 GB per transfer, 10 transfers per month and still requires an email address, MegaFile applies no artificial cap and requires no registration: you can send files of any size free of charge and completely anonymously. In addition, encryption is applied client-side from the moment of upload and the key remains only in the link, while WeTransfer reserves many features for premium plans.
Yes. Drag the files into the upload area above, choose an optional password and retention period, accept the Terms of Use and press "Upload and generate link": there is no need to create an account or return to another page.
Simply drag and drop your files; we will take care of the rest. No account, no waiting.
