A SwissTransfer alternative for big video
SwissTransfer is a good free way to send up to 50 GB once. When the video is bigger, has to stay available after 30 days, or you send every week, a project with share links fits better.
The short version
No 50 GB ceiling
One send can be as big as your storage: 100 GB on the trial, 1 TB and up on a plan. A single file can be hundreds of gigabytes.
Files stay while you need them
Links last 30 days, but the files stay in the project while your plan has room. Make a new link any time, with nothing to upload again.
Uploads that survive a dropped connection
Big files go up in parts. If the connection drops, the upload carries on from where it stopped instead of starting again.
How to send a large video fileWatch before downloading
The person can play the video in the browser first, then download the original. Or make the link view only.
