No upload step. They download straight from your device.

How to send large files

Three steps, no account.

  1. 1

    Add your files

    Drop, choose or paste any files. Add a password if you like.

  2. 2

    Share the link

    Copy the link or let them scan the QR code. Keep this page open.

  3. 3

    They download

    Straight from your browser to theirs, one file or all as a zip.

Send Large Files: what to know

Most file-sending services make you upload the whole file to their server, then the receiver downloads it again. JustYourFiles skips the middle: the receiver downloads straight from your browser while you send, so a transfer takes about as long as the upload alone would.

JustYourFiles doesn't set a size limit. What limits a very large file is the receiving browser: Chrome, Edge and Firefox on a computer, and Chrome on Android, save the file as it arrives, so any size works, while Safari and iPhone browsers keep it in memory until it's complete, which suits files up to a few gigabytes.

Popular uses

  • Video projects, raw photos and design files
  • Backups and disk images
  • Datasets and exports too big for email
  • Game mods and installers

Tips for the best result

  • Keep this page open, and the computer awake, until the receiver's download finishes. Your browser is doing the sending.
  • The speed is set by the slower of the two connections. Wired or strong Wi-Fi helps on both ends.
  • Several files of more than 4 GB in total download one by one instead of as a zip.

Frequently asked questions

JustYourFiles doesn't cap the file size. The receiver's browser can be the limit: Chrome, Edge and Firefox on a computer, and Chrome on Android, save the file as it arrives, so any size works there. Safari and iPhone browsers hold the file in memory until it's complete, which suits files up to a few gigabytes.

There's no upload step. The receiver starts getting bytes as soon as they open the link, so the whole transfer takes about as long as the upload alone would have.

No. Files go straight from your browser to the receiver's over an encrypted peer-to-peer connection. They're never stored on a server, and JustYourFiles never sees them or their names.

Your browser is the one sending the files. Close the tab, or let the computer sleep, and the link stops working. Keep it open until the receiver's download finishes.

Yes. No sign-up, no limits we set and no watermark. Clearly labeled ads keep it that way.
