Is there a limit on file size?

No — it is file transfer without a limit. You can send large files of any size, because the file goes straight to the person you are sending to instead of being uploaded to a server first. For very large files, it is smoothest when the person receiving uses a desktop Chrome or Edge browser.

How do I send a large file for free?

Pick your file, then share the link, QR code, or 6-digit PIN it gives you — or send it straight to a friend. The file transfers directly to them, at any size, with no account and nothing to install — so even big files send free, with no limit.

What happens if my connection drops during a transfer?

It resumes on its own. Dove Transfer picks up from where it left off instead of starting over, so a dropped Wi-Fi signal or an accidental page reload will not cost you the whole transfer.

Can I send a file straight to a friend?

Yes. Add someone as a friend once, and after that you can send a file to them in a single tap. They are notified the moment it arrives — even if their tab is in the background — and can accept it right away.

Are my files private?

Yes. Your file goes directly to the person you send it to and is never stored online — we cannot see it or keep a copy. The transfer itself is encrypted end to end.

Do I need an account or sign-up?

No. There is no sign-up, email, or app to download — just open the site and send. Your identity is created privately in your browser the first time you visit.

Can I send files between my phone and my computer?

Yes. Open Dove Transfer in any modern browser on both devices, pick a file, then scan the QR code or type the PIN on the other device — phone to computer, computer to phone, or laptop to laptop.

How is Dove Transfer different from WeTransfer or Google Drive?

Those upload your file to their servers first, with size caps unless you pay, and the recipient downloads it later. Dove Transfer sends the file straight to the other person with no size limit, no account, and nothing stored online.

What is the easiest way to transfer a large file?

Send it directly between devices instead of uploading it to a server. With Dove Transfer you pick the file, share a link or QR code, and the file transfers straight to the recipient — no account, no upload wait, and no size limit.

How can I transfer large files without a size limit?

Use a peer-to-peer transfer. Because the file streams directly from your device to the recipient rather than being stored on a server, there is no cap — a 5GB, 50GB, or larger file transfers the same way a small one does.

Can I transfer large files for free?

Yes. Dove Transfer is free with no size limit and no sign-up. Nothing is stored on a server, so there is no storage cost to pass on.

How to transfer large files (free, no size limit)

The simplest way to transfer a large file is to send it directly from your device to the recipient instead of uploading it to a server first — that skips the upload wait and removes the size cap. Email bounces files over ~25MB and free cloud tiers fill up fast; a direct peer-to-peer transfer like Dove Transfer has no size limit, needs no account, is encrypted in transit, and resumes if the connection drops.
