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.

How can I share big files for free?

Pick your file in Dove Transfer and share the link, QR code, or PIN. The file goes straight to whoever opens it, at any size, with no account and nothing stored online.

Can I share large files with anyone, anywhere?

Yes. Share large files free with anyone on any device — phone, tablet, or computer, on any platform — anywhere in the world, as long as they can open a link.

Is there a size limit when sharing files?

No. There is no cap, because the file is never uploaded to a server — it transfers directly, so sharing big files works the same as sharing a photo.

How to share files online, free

Share files online free with anyone, on any device, anywhere. Pick a file, then share a link, QR code, or 6-digit PIN and it goes straight to whoever opens it — no account, no size limit, and nothing stored online. Share big files and large files the same way you'd share a photo, or add a friend once and share to them in a tap.
