In addition to Dropbox’s website, users can now also use the Dropbox desktop and iOS app to transfer files according to their plan. People typically use Dropbox for collaborative sharing, but sometimes you need more of a “send-it-and-forget-it” solution,” the company announced. “Transfer is designed for times when you need to turn over large collections of final files to clients and other people outside your company.
When files are sent using Dropbox Transfer, the recipients receive a link with the sender’s name, a list of file names alongside their sizes, and the date when the shared files will expire. Users can also password-protect their transfers and send a link that can be accessed by non-Dropbox users too. The feature also brings more control for the owners of the files as the recipients can not edit these files, the owner will be able to see how many times a transfer was downloaded or viewed, these shared files won’t appear in the recipients Dropbox and will automatically expire after seven days. WeTransfer and Mozilla's Firefox Send both offer similar functionality to Dropbox Transfer but the new service already has a leg up on the competition by being directly integrated into one of the world's most popular cloud storage services.The new Dropbox Transfer feature allows the highest tier of their paid users to send up to 100GB of files at once. Users can now start a transfer from within Dropbox's desktop and iOS app as opposed to just via the web and iPhone and iPad users can now access transfers they've been sent directly from their mobile devices. Since unveiling Dropbox Transfer over the summer, the company has made several changes to how the service works. Users with a Dropbox Plus (opens in new tab) or Business Standard subscription can transfer up to to 2GB of files at a time though they still have the same seven-day expiry limit. The expiration date can also be extended to up to one year while the link is still active. Dropbox Transfer is a great solution for anyone who needs to create and send large filesfreelancers, production companies, music producers, graphic designers, creative and digital agencies, publishers and podcasters, video creators, architects and construction companies, data scientistsand more. Paid users on either the Professional, Business Advanced, Enterprise or Education plans can set the expiration limit for their files to seven, 30, 60 or even 90 days and they will also be able to share files up to 100GB. For instance, the free tier allows users to share files up to 100MB which will expire after seven days.
