TransferNow
Send large files via link or email from a French provider, with password protection and expiry controls. GDPR-compliant with data hosted in the EU.
Quick facts
Sending via link or direct email both work smoothly, and password protection with an expiry date is built into the free plan rather than reserved for a paid tier.
The free tier is ad-supported and caps file size lower than some rivals like WeTransfer, and there's a limit on how many transfers you can send per day.
Why does it score 86?
Incorporated in Paris, France – a full EU member state.
Independently owned, with no outside investors.
Runs on a mix of infrastructure, all hosted within France.
GDPR-compliant, but the platform isn't open source, which keeps the accountability score modest.
