About

FileFast

Features

FileFast sends files that are too large for email. Upload from your phone, get a link, and share it however you like. The person receiving it opens the link in a browser and downloads. No account, no app, no extension on their side. A free account sends up to 5GB in one transfer. Plus handles single files up to 300GB. Nothing is re-encoded, so a video arrives as the file you sent rather than a compressed copy. Folder structure is preserved, so zipping first is not necessary. Set a password and an expiry on any transfer, and ask for an email when someone downloads. Uploads are checked against known malware before a transfer is released. The same account, limits and history work on the web, iPhone, Android and the Mac menu bar app. The File transfers screen keeps sent and received deliveries together. Search and sort your history, and group transfers into private Collections. File selling, seller setup, and custom domains stay on the web.
