Past 100MB
Big enough that the tools start refusing it
At a hundred megabytes email is already out, and chat apps either refuse the file or quietly shrink it. A link sidesteps both.
A clearer transfer
Fast to send. Simple to receive.
Nothing is re-encoded
The download is the file you uploaded, byte for byte. No quality setting sits between you and the recipient.
One link for many files
A hundred megabytes is often twenty files rather than one. They travel as a single transfer with one progress state.
No permissions to hand out
Recipients need no account and no access request. The link is the permission, and it expires when you said it would.
What is actually in the way
Where a 100MB file stops
Email is already behind you
The usual mail ceiling is 25MB, so at this size the attachment route is closed regardless of provider.
Chat apps compress rather than refuse
Video and photos sent as media get re-encoded for whatever phone they land on. The same file attached as a document is not, which is why two people report different sizes.
Cloud drives make you manage permissions
A drive link works, then asks the recipient to request access, or asks them to sign in. That is a second conversation you did not want.
Uploading twice is the usual hidden cost
Attaching, failing, then uploading somewhere else means sending the file twice over a connection that was already the slow part.
Recipients on phones need a plain download
A 100MB file behind a sign-in wall is a poor experience on mobile data. A direct browser download can be paused and resumed like any other.
The quiet failure
Worse than a refusal is a silent resize
A file that is rejected at least tells you. A file that is recompressed on the way looks fine until somebody tries to print, edit or cut from it.
Quick answers
Before you send
The essentials, without another wall of feature cards.
Will the file be compressed?
No. FileFast stores and serves what you uploaded.
How long does a transfer stay up?
Free transfers stay for seven days. Paid plans can hold them considerably longer, and you set the expiry when you send.
Can I password protect it?
Yes, on the transfer, before you share the link.
Can I send several 100MB files at once?
Yes. They become one transfer with one link, and the plan limit applies to the transfer rather than to each file.
Does the recipient need to install anything?
No. They open a browser page and download.
Can I stop the link working later?
Yes. Set an expiry when you send, or delete the transfer, and the link stops resolving.
Try it with the next thing you have to send
Choose the files, share one link, and see what happens after it lands.
