Dropbox Transfer is a great way to share large files that you don’t need to collaborate on or don’t want recipients to edit. You can send any file stored in your Dropbox account—or you can skip adding files or checking that you have enough space. Your recipient doesn’t need an account to receive the files you’ve transferred. And, you can confirm delivery with notifications and see exactly how many times a file is downloaded.

Dropbox Transfer: Send files hassle-free

Securely transferring a large file or collection of files in real time—for example a finished design project or set of high-resolution photos—is simple with Dropbox Transfer. Easily drag and drop files without uploading them to the cloud first, worrying about storage space, permissions, or managing file access.

Quickly and easily deliver any large file

Transfer up to 250 GB* of files to anyone—even if they don’t have Dropbox accounts. You can deliver your large file transfers by sending an email or copying a download link to share with your intended recipients.

Ensure your files get delivered

Confirm delivery of your file transfers with download notifications, control access with password protection, and set link expiration to encourage immediate downloads.

Make a strong impression

Choose a background image or add your logo to customize your transfer download page. And, coming soon, you’ll be able to customize the links for your file transfers.

*The maximum file transfer size varies depending on your Dropbox plan. Up to 250GB Transfer is available with the Dropbox Replay Add-On.
