Frequently asked questions

How much can I send for free?

You can send large files up to 5 GB in a single transfer without signing up. The limit is based on total size, not duration or the number of files. If 5 GB isn’t enough, SendGB Extra supports up to 500 GB per transfer, and SendGB Exceed supports up to 1 TB in a single transfer.

Are files compressed or converted during transfer?

No. SendGB doesn’t alter your files. Recipients download the video, RAW file, PDF, or archive you uploaded without changes. Resolution, layers, and audio stay the same.

How long does the download link stay available?

Free transfers up to 250 MB stay available for up to 90 days. Free transfers over 250 MB stay available for up to 7 days. SendGB Extra keeps files for up to 1 year. SendGB Exceed transfers stay online for 7 days. Once that period ends, the files can’t be downloaded.

Do I need an account to download?

No. Open the link in your browser and download. No sign-up, app, or SendGB account is required.

How do I get around the 25 MB limit in Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo?

Don’t attach the file to your email. Create a transfer and paste the link into your email. Gmail doesn’t accept attachments over 25 MB. Corporate mailboxes in Outlook often have an attachment limit of around 20 MB. SendGB has no extensions for these email services.

Can I send multiple files in one transfer?

Yes. Videos, photos, PDFs, and archives can go in the same transfer. The free transfer limit is based on total size, not the number of files.

Are folders or ZIP files unpacked and repackaged?

No. ZIP, RAR, and 7z files are sent as they are. Files within folders aren’t converted either. Recipients download the structure you uploaded.

Can I password-protect the link?

Yes. You can add a password when sending. Anyone with the link needs the password to download the files. Send the password separately from the link.

Do WhatsApp, Instagram, or Messenger alter the original file?

If you attach a file to a chat or post, the app compresses it. If you paste a download link, the file doesn’t pass through the app, and recipients download the original.

What’s the difference between SendGB Extra and SendGB Exceed if 5 GB isn’t enough?

SendGB Extra is suitable if you send large files often: 1 TB of storage, 500 GB per transfer, starting at €29.90 per year. SendGB Exceed is enough for occasionally sending a single very large file: no membership, €9.99 for a 1 TB transfer. The code can be used once and is valid for 1 year.

What file types can I send?

You can send videos, raw footage, photos, RAW files, audio, PDFs, office documents, archives, designs, CAD files, 3D files, disk images, and installation packages. SendGB doesn’t convert files to another format.

Is there a Chrome, Gmail, or Outlook extension?

No. Create your transfer at sendgb.com. Then paste the link into Gmail, Outlook, WhatsApp, Slack, or social media yourself.
