DropBox Alternative To Transfer Large Files
Filemail Vs DropBox Overview
Filemail is a DropBox alternative to send large files of any size. DropBox is a huge name in the industry. They first appeared in 2008, which is the same year Filemail started, so both of us are established brands.
They, just like us, offer a number of paid plans, free trials, and an enterprise level offering. However, since its inception it has gradually branched into collaborative capabilities, whereas we haven't.

Why We Are A Better DropBox Alternative
Apps For All Major Platforms
We have file sharing apps available for platforms including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iPhone. We also have a plugin for Outlook that let's you share large files without leaving the email client. Of course, you can also use our website if you want to. Whatever way you transfer files, we've got you covered.
UDP Transfer Acceleration
Our desktop apps for Windows, Linux, and Mac, utilise UDP transfer acceleration which gives you transfer rates that are much faster than TCP based solutions. There is no other solution on the market that offers you UDP transfer at the cost-effective prices we charge.
Anti-Virus Protection
With countless reports of malware infesting devices world-wide, and the many other tactics used by the scrupulous kind, having no anti-virus protection for any account type is a risk not worth taking. At Filemail, anti-virus protection is one of our ever-present security features.
Focused On Transferring Files
We are purely focused on providing a stellar cloud-based file sharing experience. We don't offer collaborative apps, and other things that lead us astray from our primary purpose, which is to send your files fast.
