## Pages

- [BetterFileTransfer vs WeTransfer](https://betterfiletransfer.com/compare/wetransfer): WeTransfer is the name most people mean by "send a big file". It is also the one that has changed most in the last two years: a monthly transfer quota on the free tier, three days on a link, and ads paying for it.
- [BetterFileTransfer vs Dropbox Transfer](https://betterfiletransfer.com/compare/dropbox-transfer): Dropbox Transfer is a good send button attached to a storage product. That is its strength if you already pay for Dropbox, and its whole cost if you do not.
- [BetterFileTransfer vs Google Drive](https://betterfiletransfer.com/compare/google-drive): Google Drive is not a transfer service, and most of the trouble people have sending files with it comes from using it as one. Here is where the line actually falls.
- [BetterFileTransfer vs Smash](https://betterfiletransfer.com/compare/smash): Smash advertises no file size limit, which is true in a narrow sense: anything over 2 GB goes into a queue. It also advertises end-to-end encryption, which its own technical documentation contradicts.
- [BetterFileTransfer vs SwissTransfer](https://betterfiletransfer.com/compare/swisstransfer): SwissTransfer gives away 50 GB per transfer, with no account, no ads and no paid tier at all. It is the most generous free offer in this category, and it is worth being straight about that.
- [BetterFileTransfer vs Send Anywhere](https://betterfiletransfer.com/compare/send-anywhere): Send Anywhere's six-digit key is the best device-to-device idea in this category. Its share links are a different, much smaller product, and its encryption is not what people assume.
- [BetterFileTransfer vs Filemail](https://betterfiletransfer.com/compare/filemail): Filemail has real zero-knowledge encryption, and it is on the Business plan, in the desktop app only. Everywhere else, its own help centre says data at rest is not encrypted at all.
- [BetterFileTransfer vs TransferNow](https://betterfiletransfer.com/compare/transfernow): TransferNow gives away password protection, unlimited recipients and unlimited downloads on a free tier that most of this category charges for. It pays for that with advertising.
- [BetterFileTransfer vs MASV](https://betterfiletransfer.com/compare/masv): MASV is not competing with us. It is a pay-per-gigabyte delivery pipe for film and broadcast, priced and certified for people whose contracts specify how their footage moves.
- [BetterFileTransfer vs Tresorit Send](https://betterfiletransfer.com/compare/tresorit-send): Tresorit Send is the closest thing here to a like-for-like rival: genuinely end-to-end encrypted, no account, and the decryption key carried in the link rather than stored on a server.
- [BetterFileTransfer vs Wormhole](https://betterfiletransfer.com/compare/wormhole): Wormhole is properly end-to-end encrypted, free, and beautifully made. It also keeps files for 24 hours, has never shipped a paid tier, and above 5 GB it needs your browser tab left open.
- [BetterFileTransfer vs pCloud Transfer](https://betterfiletransfer.com/compare/pcloud-transfer): pCloud Transfer is a free 5 GB send with no registration, run as a shop window for pCloud's storage product. Its optional encryption comes with a limit almost nobody notices.
