Tresorit Send is a free, end-to-end encrypted file transfer service developed by Tresorit, a Swiss-Hungarian company renowned for its secure cloud storage solutions. It allows users to securely share large files (up to 5 GB per transfer) with anyone via a unique, temporary link, ensuring that the content remains private and accessible only to the intended recipient. This service is perfect for professionals, businesses, and individuals who need to send sensitive documents, large media files, or confidential information without the need for an account and with the highest level of privacy. Users simply upload their files to the Tresorit Send website, which then generates a secure, shareable link that can be immediately sent to recipients, bypassing email attachment limits and insecure transfer methods. Tresorit Send is a web-based service accessible from any modern browser on desktop or mobile devices.

Why It’s Useful

Tresorit Send offers a significantly more secure alternative to popular services like WeTransfer or even standard email attachments. It wins by providing true end-to-end encryption, meaning even Tresorit cannot access your files, a level of security often lacking in competitors. A lawyer needs to send confidential client documents, including contracts and personal data, to a colleague. They use Tresorit Send with a password-protected, expiring link, ensuring compliance and data security. A freelance designer needs to send a large, uncompressed video file (e.g., 3 GB) to a client for review. Tresorit Send handles the size and ensures the file is transferred securely without quality loss, and the link expires after 7 days. Tresorit Send is a completely free service, designed to showcase Tresorit's core encryption technology; there are no paid tiers for the Send service itself, though Tresorit offers paid secure cloud storage plans. The ability to set custom expiration dates (e.g., 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days) and track when a file has been downloaded provides an extra layer of control and auditability for sensitive transfers. While highly secure, its focus on simplicity means it lacks advanced features like recipient tracking beyond basic downloads, or persistent cloud storage, which some users might seek in a comprehensive file-sharing solution. As part of the Tresorit ecosystem, it benefits from the company's continuous security research and infrastructure updates, ensuring it remains at the forefront of encrypted data transfer.
