Transfer.zip is an open-source, self-hostable file-sharing service and website, an alternative to WeTransfer, with stored transfers (S3 or disk) and end-to-end encrypted peer-to-peer 'Quick Transfers' via WebRTC. It uses the tus protocol for reliable uploads and supports email delivery, transfer request links, and custom branding.

Use cases

• send large files to clients without size limits
• self-host a WeTransfer alternative
• transfer files peer-to-peer in the browser with end-to-end encryption
• create upload links so others can send files to me
• send files to multiple email recipients
• share files with custom branding on a download page

When to choose

• you want a self-hosted, open-source file transfer service with encryption
• you need reliable resumable uploads of very large files
• you want branded download pages and email delivery for clients

When to avoid

• you only need simple one-off anonymous file drops without hosting anything
• you need a managed service and don't want to run your own infrastructure
• your network blocks WebRTC peer-to-peer connections for quick transfers
