Filemail is the easiest and fastest way to send large files. no dark mode - UI is not great in web and desktop client, but is still decent. These simple steps make the webpage and emails look just right. no local servers around Israel (which means downloads are sometimes very slow) - cannot login from more than 1 Windows desktop clients (once someone logs in from another computer, except for via website, instances in other computers are automatically disconnected). No limit on file sizes - a decent Windows desktop app with (optional) auto-download feature (this to me is the most important feature) - ability to control/edit all sent items (add/delete files, change expiry date etc) - notification when item is downloaded - decent and flexible pricing (price is set in 1 TB increments, which means you can add or remove storage at will) - good storage management features (search/filter etc) CONS After a careful market research, we found its features meet most of our needs, incomparable to similarly priced services. Part of the problem is that an encrypted zip is still a zip, and may be blocked by some firewalls for that reason alone. We tend to use other services (WeTransfer/Google Drive) for smaller packages or ones that don't really require authentication, but for most uses FileMail is our best option. Sometimes transfer speed is dropping a bit, but it's not a huge issue. Ease of use and uploading via web browser are perfect in our environment. We use this service on an almost daily basis for various needs involving external parties (festivals, post houses, distributors etc), often times for 100-200 GB sized. In my three years experience with Filemail, I would recommend it to everyone, especially in NGO/culture industry, as it's a perfect equivalent for much more expensive data transfer solutions PROS.
