A High-Level Comparison Between The 2 Solutions

Filemail Vs TransferNow Overview

TransferNow is another file sharing platform with which you can store and share files, so we will compare them to Filemail as a TransferNow alternative. 

As the market has matured inevitably more and more come into the field, but unfortunately become at best a me-too or at worst, pale imitations. TransferNow have no unique features nor benefits, instead choosing to blend in with the crowd. 

However, choosing to blend in with the crowd can lead one to not only copy good points, but also some bad points as well.

Why We Are A Better TransferNow Alternative

Full Transfer Rates

TransferNow to their credit admit to capping transfer rates on some accounts. But even so, it's the end-user who suffers. At Filemail, we don't throttle a thing, so you can share large files quickly. On top of which, we have custom UDP protocols that boost transfer rates of up to 200 times compared to HTTP.

Ad-free Experience

End-users pay a price when it comes to showing them ads, and that cost is a poor user experience, and one that Filemail will not partake in. We make revenue not by coming in our users way, but rather by staying out of their way.

Anti-Virus Protection

Malware, viruses, trojans, to name but a few threats are steadily increasing, both by criminal organizations and in some cases, sponsored by states. To have no anti-virus protection is playing in their hands. At Filemail uploaded files are scanned for viruses.

Available On Any Device & Platform

Mobility and the need to enable our users to work how they see fit, means we don't confine you to just a browser. Our cloud storage service is available via dedicated apps for iOS, Android, OS and Windows. You can even use our API if you are so inclined.

Multi-User Business Account Comparison

A Business account is for companies that required multi-user accounts. Businesses have taken advantage of the speed and efficiency of sending and receiving files via the internet, rather than snail mail and other such outdated methods. 

However, due to the size of the files, and the need for security and compliance, businesses are using dedicated transferring solutions like Filemail that go far beyond emails and FTP.

Benefits Of A Filemail Business Account

Receive Bigger Files

TransferNow limits how big a file you can receive. Don't annoy visitors and clients, use Filemail and let them upload what they want.

Cost Effective

Price is obviously a factor in the procurement of a solution. Filemail is a more cost effective solution than TransferNow, and a more holistic solution.

Permanent Storage

Sometimes you need files for longer than 30 days, but with TransferNow you need to renew it, otherwise it is deleted. Using Filemail would mean one less thing to remember.

Total Customization

You can customize all outward facing aspects of your account, be it emails, subdomain, and website integration form. Stay within brand guidelines and give a professional sheen.
