Large File Delivery
Send Large Files Without Email Limits or Cloud Fees
Break free from 25 MB email attachment caps and paid cloud storage tiers. Stream high-bitrate video, archive files, and datasets directly device-to-device.
Why Sending Large Files Online Is Difficult
When you need to deliver a 1 GB video recording, a multi-hundred megabyte ZIP archive, or an uncompressed audio album, standard communication channels fail:
- Email Attachment Limits: Major email providers (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo) enforce a hard limit of 20 MB to 25 MB per email.
- Cloud Storage Paywalls: Cloud storage services offer limited free tiers and gate larger transfers behind monthly recurring subscriptions.
- Slow Upload Queues: Traditional cloud transfers require waiting for the entire upload to finish before the recipient can begin downloading.
Direct WebRTC Streaming: The Zero-Fee Solution
ShareOnline bypasses remote cloud servers entirely by streaming your file directly from your computer or phone to the recipient's device:
- No Cloud Storage Middleman: Because your file is never stored on our servers, ShareOnline imposes no arbitrary application-level file-size limits.
- Line-Speed Transfers: On local Wi-Fi networks, files transfer at direct local network throughput, easily transferring hundreds of megabytes in seconds.
- No Subscriptions or Credit Cards: ShareOnline is completely free to use without billing details or hidden trial periods.
Practical Tips for Best Performance
Because WebRTC transfers stream in real time:
- Both the sender and receiver must keep their browser tabs open until the transfer reaches 100%.
- Ensure the receiving device has adequate available memory and disk space to save the file.
- When transferring multi-gigabyte files between devices in the same building, connect both devices to the same high-speed 5 GHz Wi-Fi network.
