KPN File Transfer
A free, no-frills large-file transfer tool operated by KPN, the Netherlands' incumbent telecom, running on Dutch infrastructure under EU data-protection law.
Quick facts
It's a genuinely free, no-account file transfer tool backed by a major incumbent telecom, so there's little risk of it disappearing overnight the way a small startup service might.
It's a bare-bones utility rather than a full product – no password-protection tiers or advanced features the way dedicated transfer services offer.
Why does it score 83?
Incorporated in Rotterdam, Netherlands – a full EU member state.
Publicly traded and majority Dutch-held, though as a listed telecom subsidiary it doesn't score as a fully independent company.
Runs on KPN's own Netherlands-based infrastructure rather than a third-party cloud.
GDPR-compliant, but the tool isn't open source and there's no independently published security audit specific to it.
