European file sharing tools
Share and collaborate on files with colleagues without routing them through US cloud providers.
These tools let you send big files that are too large for email. The files pass through the provider's servers on the way. European tools keep them under EU law. WeTransfer is a well-known Dutch service, and SwissTransfer, from Switzerland, is free for large files. Tresorit Send encrypts your files, so only the person you choose can open them. Your files reach the other side without a detour through the US.
Carefully selected European alternatives, some links may earn us a small commission.
Send up to 50 GB for free with no account, no ads, and end-to-end encryption. Run by Infomaniak on its own renewable-powered Swiss data centres – the standout WeTransfer replacement.
