6 Of The Best And Amazing Ways To Send Large Files Online by TrillionBrains(m): 12:46pm On Jan 26, 2017
There are some people who still think that sending or sharing files to other instantly is quite troublesome and difficult. Well, they are definitely wrong because developers have created some amazing apps for file-sharing these recent years, and each of these mobile apps is so amazing that you’ll get confused as which one to choose.
After trying lots of them, We've come to conclusion on some of the best file-sharing platforms which you should have in your phone. Of course, we rated these apps based on the ease of usage as well as some pros and cons that come with them. So, let’s dig into the list to know more about these apps. Shall we..
WeTransfer

"WeTransfer" has become one of the leading file-sharing mobile apps to date. One of the main reasons why you should use this app is due to the simplicity of its file sharing/sending procedure. Yes, as soon as you get to the official site, you can start sending files to your friends without even registering.
However, remember that the file you send will be available for a week. Also, there is a 20gb file size limitation per transfer, which is actually quite enough. But if you need more expiration time and sending file capacity, you can purchase the plus version which lets you choose your own expiration time for the file you send. The file limitation? Unlimited!
As for the receiver, they will get an email notification which will direct them to the main site to get the file. Yes, as easy as that. It is available for Android, as well as iOS phones. WeTransfer is also ‘kind’ on your phone because the size of the app is small, and it doesn’t even take much RAM when you are using it.
Pros

Easy to use, no need to register
Also very easy for the receiver to download the file
Big size limitation (even for the free user)
The size of mobile app is small
Attractive background and sound during downloading and uploading

Cons

There is a time expiration (7 days) for the free users before the file can be downloaded by the receiver.

Pibox
Pibox is one of the most unique file-sending platforms out there. Aside from the ability to share or send files, this app lets you chat with your friends in a messenger-like mode. So, if you are a great fan of chatting, you will definitely love Pibox.
However, you have to register first before you can start sending files or chatting with your friends. Also, you have to invite your friends using their phone numbers to start chatting and sharing files.
Anyway, after registering, you will be given a free 3 GB storage to use. You can keep increasing the storage up to 1000 GB by inviting your friends to register in Pibox. So far, there is no paid version for Pibox, so every user is treated the same here. Pibox is currently available for Android and desktop. The developers of the app say that the iOS version will be developed soon.
Pros

No quality loss upon sharing files between users
3 GB free cloud storage after registering for the first time. You can increase it up to 1000 GB by inviting your friends to join Pibox
You can chat with your friends in a private or group chatroom
Fast uploading speed
The app is free for everybody, means that everybody gets the same services
You can change your profile picture as you prefer

Cons

No browser bookmarklet available yet
You can only invite your friends via their phone number
Currently, Pibox is only available for Android users

Filemail
Filemail is quite similar to WeTransfer in term of sharing/sending simplicity. You can stay as a free user if you want, and don’t even need to register to start sending files to your friends.
However, unlike WeTransfer, Filemail offers 30 GB size limitation for file sending. The receiver has 7 days time limit to download the file you send before it’s gone forever. However, the pro and business version lets you send unlimited file size as well as controlling the time expiration for the file you send.

Filemail also has other awesome extensions to use for free, i.e., Filemail downloader and receiver (to increase download speed) and Filemail API (for developers). This app is available for Desktop, Mac, Android, iOS and Linux.
Pros

Very easy to use for both the sender and receiver
No registration needed (if you are a free user)
The files shared maintain their original quality
30 GB size limit to send files if you are a free user, and it’s unlimited if you buy the pro/business version
Supports almost any major platforms, such as Android, iOS, Mac, Windows and even Linux
Fast-response and helpful customer service
There is free Filemail Downloader and Receiver extension to make your uploading or downloading process faster
Filemail API is also available for developers

Cons

The uploading speed is rather slow compared to the other file-sharing program
There is a bug that says ‘no mobile data allowed, rescheduling transfer’ before you send files via mobile app. Filemail team hasn’t done anything to fix the bug or even answered the complaints from mobile users
Upon uploading, if you close the page, means your process will be lost and you have to start over
There is a 7 days time expiration for the free user
