Getting Started Guide: SwissTransfer - Secure and Free Large File Transfer"

Thank you for using Infomaniak to send your large files and folders to your contacts worldwide!

SwissTransfer is a secure online file transfer platform that allows you to send large files easily and efficiently.

Data Transfer with SwissTransfer

Unlike many other file transfer services, SwissTransfer accepts files up to 50 GB, which is particularly useful for large files that cannot be sent via email or other traditional means.

You can transfer multiple files with SwissTransfer by selecting them on your device even if the data to be sent includes folders.

Download

Files transmitted through SwissTransfer can be downloaded by the user either one by one or using the "Download All" button, which will create a .zip archive to download. If it exceeds 10 GB, then the data contained will need to be downloaded one by one. Therefore, if you need to send several large files, it is better to group them yourself beforehand into a zip/rar/etc. archive.

Compressing Files Before Sending

To facilitate sending, nothing mandatory but it is easy to compress your files in a format such as .ZIP for example.

These manipulations will create a new compressed .zip folder that can be sent more quickly with SwissTransfer because the total weight will generally be reduced.
