DropBox Alternative To Transfer Large Files

Share More, Share Faster, Share Securely

DropBox alternative to share files using any platform

Filemail is a DropBox alternative to share large files of any size. DropBox is a huge name in the industry. They first appeared in 2008, which is the same year Filemail started, so both of us are established brands.

They, just like us, offer a number of paid plans, free trials, and an enterprise level offering. However, since its inception it has gradually branched into collaborative capabilities, whereas we haven't.

Stand-Out Filemail Features

Various apps for major platforms

Apps For All Major Platforms

We have apps available for platforms including Windows, iOS, Android, and iPhone. We also have a plugin for Outlook that let's you share large files without leaving the email client. Of course, you can also use our website if you want to. Whatever way you transfer files, we've got you covered.

Various apps for major platforms
UDP for faster transfer rates

UDP Transfer Acceleration

Our desktop apps for both Windows and iOS, utilise UDP transfer acceleration which gives you transfer rates that are much faster than TCP based solutions. There is no other solution on the market that offers you UDP transfer at the cost-effective prices we charge.

Filemail uses anti-virus protection for your peace of mind

Anti-Virus Protection

With countless reports of malware infesting devices world-wide, and the many other tactics used by the scrupulous kind, having no anti-virus protection for any account type is a risk not worth taking. At Filemail, anti-virus protection is one of our ever-present security features.

We don't do collaboration, we do file transfers, fast

Focused On Transferring Files

We are purely focused on providing a stellar cloud-based file transferring experience. We don't offer collaborative apps, and other things that lead us astray from our primary purpose, which is to send your files fast.
