Securely transferring a large file or a group of files is easy with Dropbox Transfer. Whether it's a design project or a set of high-resolution photos, you can simply drag and drop your files and then they’re ready to send.

Transfer is available to all Dropbox users—even Basic subscribers with a free plan.
The file size you’re allowed depends on the plan you have.
“Dropbox definitely helps our productivity. It saves us 40 percent of the time when we’re trying to collaborate with large files.”
Jonathan LottEngineer, AudioShakeOnce you create a Transfer, your recipients can download it immediately. Your speedy file transfer will create a shared link or email that you can send to anyone to collect the file transfer.
You can password-protect file transfers, so whoever receives the transfer must enter a password to collect their files. When you create your file transfer in Dropbox Transfer, you’ll have the option to add, edit, or remove a password before you complete the process.
By default, transfers automatically expire after 7 days. It is possible to set a longer expiry date with different plans. Dropbox Professional and Advanced users can set an expiry date of up to 90 days, with the ability to extend that up to one year while the link is still ‘live’. Expired transfers are only visible to the sender, and are no longer accessible to anyone with the link.
