A Dropbox Transfer alternative without the storage subscription
Send any size, track downloads for free, and brand your pages — without paying for a full storage plan.
Dropbox Transfer is handy if you already pay for Dropbox, but transfer size and features scale with your storage subscription. EasyFileUpload is purpose-built for sending: no per-file size limit, free download analytics and password protection, and a focused $9/month Pro plan with branding and receive pages — no storage bundle required.

Why people switch
Pay for sending, not storage
You don't need a full cloud-storage subscription to send big files. Pro is $9/month and focused on transfers, branding, and analytics.
No size limit
Send any single file regardless of size. Only your monthly quota applies, and Pro raises it to 500 GB.
Branded, trackable links
Recipients see your brand and you see the download analytics — on a link built for sharing, not a storage folder.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Dropbox account to use EasyFileUpload?
No. EasyFileUpload is independent. You can send files with no account, and a free account adds quota, password protection, one-time links, and download analytics — without buying into a storage ecosystem.
Is EasyFileUpload cheaper than Dropbox for sending files?
For sending and tracking files, yes — Pro is $9/month and doesn't require a separate storage subscription. With Dropbox, transfer size and features depend on which storage plan you pay for.
Can I track who downloaded my file?
Yes. Download analytics — country, device, browser, and exact time — are included even on the free plan, not gated behind a paid tier.
Is there a per-file size limit?
No. EasyFileUpload places no limit on any single file's size — only a monthly quota (5 GB free, 500 GB on Pro). Dropbox Transfer limits transfer size by plan.
What happens to files after they expire?
Each upload has a timer you set (up to 7 days free, 30 days on Pro). When it expires the file is permanently and automatically deleted — clean by default, with no folder to manage.
Do recipients need an account to download?
No. Recipients open the link and download directly — no Dropbox account, no signup, no app. Sharing is the whole purpose of the link.
