We built a free, secure file transfer tool - would love your feedback
Hey Product Hunt community,
We just launched TransferSecure - a file transfer service that lets you send files up to 5 GB for free, no account needed on the recipient's end.
A few things we focused on that most transfer tools skip:
Every file up to 200MB is virus-scanned before the download link activates
Files are encrypted in transit and at rest
Links auto-expire and files are permanently deleted after expiry
No forced sign-ups - just verify your email and send
We're actively building and would love honest feedback on:
What features are missing that you'd expect from a file transfer tool?
Would you use this over WeTransfer or similar tools? Why or why not?
Any security concerns we haven't addressed?
Try it for free at https://transfersecure.ai/ - no credit card, no catch.

Just tried it out and I really appreciate the focus to security without the hassle of creating an account!
@david_nelson8 Glad you liked it, Feel Free to provide suggestions and feedbacks!!
Just tried it, super smooth, no friction at all. One thing I noticed though, what happens if a file fails the virus scan? Does the sender get notified?
@farrukh_butt1 Great catch! Currently the infected file is quarantined immediately and recipients won't be able to download those files. Sender notification on virus detection is on our roadmap, it's something we want to add so senders have full visibility. Thanks for flagging it, genuinely useful feedback!
@rudra_bhairav Good to know it's on the roadmap, that visibility will make a big difference. Good luck with the launch.
@farrukh_butt1 Thank you so much, really appreciate the kind words and the feedback!
Used this for a client delivery. The no-account download experience is exactly what I needed, my clients are non-technical and the last thing I want is them struggling with a sign-up flow just to get a file.
@agilineni_lokesh_babu Glad you liked it!!
The password-protected transfer feature is super useful. I work with sensitive files regularly and being able to add a password without paying for a premium plan is genuinely useful.
@jeevan_kumar_k That's exactly what we have added the password feature for, glad you found it useful.
Appreciate that they're upfront about the 200 MB virus scan limit and explain why. That kind of honesty builds more trust than just claiming "100% secure" like most tools do. Refreshing to see.
@varada_raj_a That means a lot, thank you. We debated whether to mention the 200 MB limit at all but decided hiding it would be worse. Every file transfer service has technical constraints, the honest thing is to be upfront about them and explain the reasoning rather than just claiming blanket security. Appreciate you noticing that.
Hey, I went through the tool, and it's really clean and easy to understand what it does. While the functionality is clear, it's a bit harder to immediately see why I should choose this tool over the file transfer tools I already use.
It feels like the real strength is around sending large and sensitive files with more control, which doesn't fully land upfront yet. What's been the main reason users switch so far?
