File size limits vary depending on several factors:
- Your device's memory and processing power
- Available browser memory
- Internet connection speed and stability
- Whether you're on mobile or desktop
Note: While our service can theoretically handle files up to 10GB, actual limits depend on your device capabilities. Mobile devices typically have lower limits than desktop computers.
For reliable transfers, we recommend:
- Mobile: Files up to 1GB
- Desktop: Files up to 5GB
- Testing with a small file first
You can select and transfer multiple files simultaneously, but there are some considerations:
- The total number of files depends on your device's capabilities
- Each file is processed individually but transferred in parallel
- Large numbers of files may take longer to process initially
- Consider compressing multiple files into a ZIP archive for easier transfer
Recommendation: For optimal performance, we suggest:
- Mobile: Up to 10 files at once
- Desktop: Up to 50 files at once
- Using ZIP files for large collections of small files
You can transfer any type of file, including:
- Documents (PDF, DOC, etc.)
- Images (JPG, PNG, etc.)
- Videos (MP4, MOV, etc.)
- Audio files (MP3, WAV)
- Archives (ZIP, RAR)
- And any other file type
- End-to-end encryption for all transfers
- Direct peer-to-peer connections

If connection is lost during transfer:

Transfer speed depends on several factors:
- Your internet connection speed
- The recipient's internet connection
- Physical distance between devices
- Network conditions and congestion
- Device processing power
For best performance, both parties should have stable internet connections.
