Send Anywhere alternative
A Send Anywhere alternative for links that outlive the moment
Send Anywhere is useful for direct device-to-device transfers. FileFast is for a browser link a client can still open tomorrow, and a record of whether they did.
A practical difference
Browser-first links
Share a clean URL that recipients can open without installing an app.
Email delivery
Send directly to recipients and get download feedback.
Collections and API
Group repeated sends and automate uploads with tokens.
Longer-lived links
When both people are not ready at once
Client work is asynchronous
Direct device-to-device transfer needs both ends present. A client opening the link on Monday morning is the normal case, not the exception.
The link carries its own rules
Expiry, password and access belong to the transfer, so a link that outlives the moment does not have to outlive its usefulness.
Free is 5GB, seven days
Long enough for a handover, short enough that nothing lingers by accident.
Links with a longer life
A link the client can open tomorrow
Device-to-device is quick when both people are ready at the same moment. Client work rarely is, so the link has to outlive the moment.
Comparison
FileFast vs Send Anywhere
Send Anywhere is stronger for direct device exchange and short-lived large links. FileFast is built around longer-lived browser delivery, verified sender history, Collections, and client-oriented email tracking.
Advantages are marked only where the difference is measurable. A different workflow is not automatically better or worse.
