SamFileTransfer vs Send Anywhere
Send Anywhere works the way we do: a short code pairs two devices and the file moves. It is the closest comparison on this page, and a fair one — 10 GB free is generous. The differences are quieter: how much of your transfer touches their servers, how long a link lives, and whether you can do the whole thing without being nudged into an app.

Where SamFileTransfer wins
- Everything happens in the browser, with no app on either side to get the full behaviour.
- You choose how long the code lives — up to thirty days — rather than accepting a fixed window.
- The share is closed when you say it is, from your account page, and nothing is retained after.
Where they win
- 10 GB in a free transfer is more than our free 5 GB.
- The mobile apps are mature, with device history and transfer records if you want them.
Which one should you pick?
Send Anywhere is a solid choice, especially if 10 GB free settles it. Come to us if you would rather stay in the browser and keep control of when the link dies.
