Technology

Why HeftySend Is Blazing Fast

Our advanced infrastructure and clean user experience make file sharing faster, simpler, and more enjoyable than ever before

Served from the nearest server, wherever your recipient is.

Built for speed, everywhere

Modern edge network

Every download runs on Cloudflare's global network — the same edge infrastructure that powers a large share of the internet — over HTTP/3 and TLS 1.3, the newest generation of web transport, not the decade-old stacks legacy services still run.

Servers on every continent

Your files are served from data centres in 300+ cities, so a recipient in Tokyo, São Paulo or Berlin downloads from a server a few milliseconds away instead of one continent over.

Videos that play right away

Large videos stream from the nearest server the moment your recipient presses play — no waiting for the whole file, no buffering from a far-away data centre.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our service

Q

Do recipients need an account to download files?

No, recipients don't need to create an account or install any software. They simply click the download link to access and download the files.

Q

How long are my files available?

This depends on your plan. Free transfers are available for 3 days, Premium transfers for up to 365 days (you choose the expiry per transfer), and Ultra and Lifetime transfers never expire unless you set a shorter expiry yourself. Premium and Ultra users who connect their own S3 storage also get unlimited expiry.

Q

Is there a file size limit?

Yes. Free users can upload files up to 100GB total, Premium users get 1TB, and Ultra users can upload up to 4TB worth of files.

Q

Can I password-protect my files?

This feature is coming soon for Premium and Ultra users, allowing you to add an extra layer of security to your shared files.

Q

How secure is HeftySend?

Very secure! We use modern infrastructure unlike the old school apps out there.

Q

Can I cancel a transfer after sending it?

Yes, if you have an account, you can delete any transfer from your dashboard, which immediately removes access to those files.
