Like with Firefox Send, Dropbox Transfer also gives users the ability to a dd a password to their link, in case it falls into the wrong hands, and set an expiration date when the link will stop working. Transfer will also offer the ability to send the file in an automatically generated email.

Once they’ve done this their files will upload and they’ll receive a link, which they’re then free to share. Most smartphone cameras these days capture images that are bigger than 25MB and you can forget about emailing somebody a copy of that video you recorded on your last holiday.Īs Dropbox is trying to solve an email related problem, the company is looking to make the process as simple as possible and in this way the new Transfer service is a little similar to Firefox Send.Īs well as being able to transfer files already uploaded to Dropbox, users will be able to simply drag and drop their files onto the Dropbox Transfer uploader. Usually, you can only send files up to 25MB in size via email, which isn’t much in today’s digital-first world. Dropbox is looking at the limits placed on users by their email clients.
