What SendThisFile is
SendThisFile is a service for sending and receiving files when email attachments are not enough. It also lets users request uploads and track sent, received, and requested activity in one view. The Free plan supports transfers up to 50 MB and retains files for 7 days. Standard costs $5 a month, removes the file size limit, supports multiple recipients and recipient authentication, and keeps files for 14 days. Business costs $10 a month per user and adds branding, domain registration, user capture, and Website Integration, with 30-day retention. A 15-day trial is available. Business Website Integration offers an embeddable button or hosted upload route for visitors sending files to approved users; a WordPress plugin is also available. Business subscriptions support multiple users, and people outside the team can send files without a paid account. SendThisFile describes HTTPS sign-in, end-to-end and AES-256 encryption, recipient verification, and deletion when files expire. It offers web and Windows access and was founded in 2003 in the USA.
