Free file sharing service using hybrid P2P and cloud technology. Send files instantly without waiting for uploads. Direct computer-to-computer transfers.
Terashare is a hybrid peer-to-peer and cloud file transfer service that combines direct BitTorrent-style delivery with server backup to share files of unlimited size for free. Small files are cached on Terashare's servers for persistent access, while multi-gigabyte and terabyte transfers stream directly from the sender's machine to the recipient.
The sender installs a lightweight client that turns any folder or file into a secret shareable link. Recipients download through the browser without installing anything, and the hybrid model means files under roughly 10 GB remain available even when the sender is offline, while larger shares resume as long as the sender's computer is online.
Key benefits:
- Unlimited file and folder sizes through hybrid P2P + cloud delivery
- Free, ad-supported service with no account required for sharing or receiving
- Folder sharing covers entire project trees, not just single files
- Browser downloads need no client installation on the recipient side
- Persistent server backup keeps smaller files online when the sender is offline
- Secret link access simple enough for non-technical collaborators
Developed in Belgium, Terashare operates under GDPR with European infrastructure and transparent handling of transient server cache. Its hybrid architecture minimises the amount of data actually held server-side, which is itself a privacy benefit.
Ideal for designers, researchers, and distributed teams that need to move entire project directories or terabyte-scale datasets for free without the artificial size ceilings and retention concerns of mainstream transfer services.
