How to Request and Receive Files ?
Requesting and receiving files is quick and easy, and we offer multiple options to suit different needs:
From the homepage of our free service, you can select and use the "Receive" mode (located at the bottom right of your screen) or go directly to this link.
The "Receive" mode allows you to request files via email from one or multiple recipients. Once you've created a file request, your recipients receive an email notification containing a secure link, allowing them to easily upload files.
When files are uploaded in response to your request, you’ll receive an email notification with a secure download link.
Alternatively, you can choose to create a secure file upload link, which allows you to share a deposit link broadly to receive files from multiple sources.
Need a permanent upload link that doesn’t expire and allows you to collect information while receiving files?
With a TransferNow account, you can generate a "push" link that can be shared as needed to receive files. You’ll be notified by email whenever new files are available for download.
For example, you can add this link to your email signature to let your contacts know they can send you files directly.
This feature provides you with:
A secure, permanent, and identifiable link
The ability to customize the appearance of your file upload page
A customizable form with text fields, dropdown lists, radio buttons, checkboxes, and more
For TransferNow account holders, we also offer a fully customizable widget generator.
A widget allows you to receive files directly from a website (e.g., a contact page). Once customized (language, form fields, etc.), you'll get a simple HTML code snippet ( <iframe> tag) that can be easily integrated into your website or other platforms.
You can create multiple widgets as needed, which is especially useful for multilingual websites.
