Thank you for using Infomaniak to send your large files and folders to your correspondents around the world! SwissTransfer is a secure online file transfer platform that makes sending large files simple and efficient. 

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 several files with SwissTransfer by selecting them on your device.

But if the data to be sent includes folders, consider compressing them so that they can be sent in a single pass. These manipulations will create a new compressed .zip file that can be sent with SwissTransfer.

Compress folder(s)

Macs and Linux 

1. from your computer, select the folder(s) to send
2. right-click on the folder(s) to be archived
3. choose the "compress" option

Windows

1. from your computer, select the folder(s) to send
2. right-click on the folder(s) to be archived
3. choose the “Send to” option
4. click on the “Compressed folder” option

Send compressed file(s)

All you have to do is drag your compressed file(s) to SwissTransfer.

Download

The files that pass through SwissTransfer can be downloaded by the user either 1 by 1 or using the "Download all" button which will create a .zip archive to download. If it exceeds 10 GB, then you will have to download the data contained 1 by 1. Consequently, if you have to send several dozen large files, it is better to group them yourself beforehand in a zip/ rar/etc.
