Fast, secure file transfer service with no size limits. Send large files up to 5x faster with password protection, temporary links, and eco-friendly ephemeral storage.

Smash is a French file transfer service with no size limit, designed for creative professionals, post-production houses, and enterprise teams that routinely push files far beyond WeTransfer's 2 GB ceiling. Transfers of 100 GB and above move as easily as a 10 MB attachment, with no signup required for the sender or the recipient.

Beyond raw capacity, Smash adds password protection, expiry controls, email notifications, Outlook integration, and a developer API that lets teams embed large-file transfers into their own products and workflows. A dedicated iOS and Android app covers on-the-go uploads, and files are encrypted in transit and at rest on Smash's European infrastructure.

Key benefits:

  • No file size limit removes WeTransfer's 2 GB ceiling for real large-asset workflows
  • Developer API at api.fromsmash.com embeds transfers inside custom applications
  • Encrypted storage at rest and in transit keeps files protected server-side
  • Password and expiry controls tighten access on top of link sharing
  • Outlook plugin and mobile apps extend uploads into native email and mobile
  • Low CO2 footprint β€” Smash reports 90 percent less emissions than email attachments

Founded in 2017 and headquartered in France, Smash hosts data on European infrastructure, operates under GDPR, and is increasingly referenced as the go-to EU-hosted WeTransfer alternative for French and European agencies. French jurisdiction places it outside US CLOUD Act reach.

Ideal for advertising agencies, post-production studios, architects, and developer teams that need unlimited-size transfers on sovereign European infrastructure with a clean API for automation.
