SwissTransfer
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.
Quick facts
Transfers up to 50GB with no account and no ads, and files can be password-protected and end-to-end encrypted for anything sensitive.
Files expire after a set number of days rather than staying available indefinitely, so it's built for one-off sends rather than long-term storage.
Why does it score 98?
Incorporated in Geneva, Switzerland – an EFTA country rather than a full EU member state, so it scores just below EU-based rivals here.
Run by Infomaniak, fully independent and employee-owned with no outside investors.
SwissTransfer runs on Infomaniak's own ISO 27001-certified data centres in Switzerland, powered entirely by renewable energy.
The mobile apps are open source and the infrastructure is independently ISO-certified, though the core web service itself isn't fully open source.
