Send Anywhere is a versatile file transfer service that enables users to send files of any type and size across multiple platforms quickly and securely. It works by generating a unique six-digit key that the recipient uses to receive the files, with the key being valid for 10 minutes to ensure security
. Key Features:
- Cross-platform compatibility: Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, and even as browser extensions and plugins for Outlook and Gmail
- No file size limits: The service supports sending very large files, with the desktop app allowing transfers up to 20GB, and the web version up to 1GB per transfer. The free version supports files up to 10GB
- Secure transfers: Files are protected with end-to-end encryption, and the six-digit key system prevents unauthorized access
- Ease of use: Files can be sent by uploading them to Send Anywhere's servers or directly via device-to-device transfer on the same Wi-Fi network. Users can send files by selecting them within the app or sharing from other apps via the share menu
- Additional features: Creating an account unlocks cloud storage and link-sharing capabilities, eliminating the need to input the code every time
- Integration: There are add-ons for Outlook and Gmail to facilitate sending large attachments without ads and with enhanced link management
How it works:
- The sender uploads the file(s) to Send Anywhere or selects them within the app.
- The app generates a unique six-digit key or QR code.
- The recipient enters the key or scans the QR code within their Send Anywhere app or web interface.
- The file transfer begins directly or via the server, depending on connection and device setup
Send Anywhere is ideal for individuals and businesses needing fast, secure, and easy file transfers across different devices and operating systems without the typical size restrictions of email attachments or cloud storage limits
