Why people switch
- More room for free. 10 GB in a single transfer, where many free plans stop at 2–5 GB.
- No sign-up to send. Drop files in, watch one short ad, and share the link.
- Files that clean themselves up. Links expire on their own and the files are deleted, so nothing lingers.
- Straight to encrypted storage. Uploads go from your browser to encrypted Backblaze B2 cloud storage over HTTPS, in parallel chunks that retry on their own.
- Honest paid plans. From $9 a month with no ads for you or your recipients, and extra storage when you want to keep files longer.
Is TransferNode free like WeTransfer?

How is TransferNode different from WeTransfer?

Do my recipients need to install anything?
No. Recipients open the link in any browser and download the files one by one or as a single zip. They do not need an account.
