| Free tier | "Free to use, no account needed" for upload, share and download. A guest 'can send a few an hour'; an account is free. Retention is by download activity rather than by a byte count: 'files stay while they are downloaded at least once every 30 days' with an account, and 'As a guest user, your files might be lost after 15 days of inactivity'. unit none; metered on none; The free tier is not priced in bytes at all. It is priced in activity and in how many transfers a guest may start per hour. |
|---|---|
| Price | EUR 1.50 per TB-month of storage at Premium (EUR 14.99 for 10 TB); EUR 3 per TB of direct-link egress |
| Limits |
The word 'unlimited' in the paid tier applies to download-page traffic, not to direct links: the same pricing table lists '1000 GB direct link traffic' in the Premium column and sells extra blocks. A client that hotlinks files is on the meter; a client that sends a page link is not. |
| Binding | volume-quota Ordinary page downloads stay unmetered but cannot be embedded or fetched by a script that expects a stable URL. |
| Identity | email Free account needs an email; the registration page sets only two constraints: 'Password must be at least 14 characters long' and no special characters or spaces in the username. No card, no phone, no verification was mentioned. |
| Egress | Downloads are unmetered on the free path; the meters are on direct links. Premium includes '1000 GB direct link traffic' and 'Unlimited bandwidth' for ordinary downloads, with 'Direct Link Traffic' sold as an add-on at EUR 3 per 1000 GB. free allowance: Free direct links are limited to 10 MB files price per tb: EUR 3 per TB of direct-link traffic (1 TB minimum block) |
| Per-object cap | "Any type and size" for uploads; the paid tier repeats 'No limits on file size'. Chunked upload with a selectable part size (10 to 100 MB) and auto-retry. |
| Retention | Guests: 'might be lost after 15 days of inactivity'. Accounts: 'Create a free account to push this to 30 days', and files stay 'while they are downloaded at least once every 30 days'. The sender can also set an explicit expiry from 1 hour to 15 days, or burn after download. (15 days) |
| Interface | webdav, ftp, rest, unknown Three programme paths, all documented on the homepage: WebDAV at https://webdav.send.now (needs a free account and an app password); FTP at ftp.send.now (Europe) or ftp-us.send.now (USA) on port 992 with implicit FTP over TLS, one transfer at a time; and an HTTP API whose upload path is two calls - GET https://send.now/api/upload/server for an upload address, then POST -F "file_0=@video.mp4" to it.endpoint: https://send.now/api |
| Tooling | The best-served host: WebDAV means a native macOS/Finder or Windows mount with no wrapper, FTP with TLS means FileZilla or lftp, and the API means a script. rclone can talk to it through WebDAV without a dedicated backend. |
| Composes with | A drop box for handoffs and a WebDAV drive for the rare file that must live somewhere mountable: it takes a 5 GB render out of a paid object store, serves it to a collaborator, and expires it by itself. The WebDAV endpoint is what makes it a candidate for a mounting layer rather than a download queue. |
| Reliability | Two operational facts a client must know before putting anything there: FTP allows 'One transfer at a time', and files disappear by inactivity rather than by quota, so an archive left untouched for a month is gone whether or not there was room for it. The API also answers HTTP 200 on every call and puts the real status in the JSON body. |
| Evidence note | documented Retention rules, both metering rules, all three access paths and the full price table were read on the vendor's pages. Nothing was uploaded, so throughput and the real per-file ceiling are unmeasured. |
