File sharing is getting easier and easier nowadays, thanks to ever-evolving technologies, especially cloud services like Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, or Google Drive. If you are using one of these cloud services, congratulations, you already have a very powerful and easy-to-use file sharing tool at your fingertips that you can use right out of the box.
But if you have limited cloud space and just want a casual file sharing tool to share the files that are large and don’t need to be saved in the cloud for future use, here are 5 free file sharing tools that are free, no account sign-up, and are all capable of sharing files over 1 GB.
File Dropper
It’s just like what it shows, upload and share the link. Easy-peasy. And it uploads a file up to 5GB.
WeTransfer
It’s a very stylish but reliable file sharing service that shares files up to 2GB.
DropCanvas
It makes almost the whole page as a file drop zone for your uploading files. You will get a link for sharing once you dropped the files. The tool has a built-in compressing feature that automatically compresses the selected files to reduce the file load. It has the limits at 1GB but with free registration, it bumps to 5GB.
Send
Brought to you by Mozilla, Send is a pilot project that lets you upload and encrypt large files (up to 1GB) to share online. When you upload a file, Send creates a link to pass along to whoever you want. Each link created by Send will expire after 1 download or 24 hours, and all sent files will be automatically deleted from the Send server.
You can use the service on any modern browsers without any add-on required.
MyAirBridge
MyAirBridge is a free online file sharing tool that lets you send and share files up to 20 Gb with a few other useful features like storage, context menu, multi-thread file sending, forwarding, self-destruction, etc.
Just Beam It
Unlike any of the other tools listed above, JustBeamIt works like a bridge between sender and recipient. You drop the files into JustBeamIt site and create a sharing link for others to download. The upload process won’t start until the recipient opens the link and starts to download. Because it works like a Peer-2-Peer service that doesn’t require fixed cloud storage space, you can almost share files in unlimited file size. In cases where the instant file sharing is required, JustBeamIt could be a perfect fit.
