What SendGB does

SendGB is a Tallinn, Estonia-based file transfer platform founded in 2019 that enables users to send files up to 5 GB free without registration, positioning itself as a higher-free-tier alternative to WeTransfer. The service is delivered as a self-serve web application accessible from desktop and mobile browsers, built on a multi-thread high-bandwidth server architecture with encrypted transmission, optional password protection, drag-and-drop upload, and resumable upload capability that allows interrupted transfers to continue after connectivity drops. The platform is localized across 12 languages (English, Turkish, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Croatian, Romanian, Russian, Portuguese, Polish) and is operated by a 1–10 person team.

The company monetizes through a freemium model with three paid tiers layered on the free core service: SendGB Extra is an annual subscription (€29.90 for 250 GB up to €59.90 for 1 TB storage) targeting frequent users with features such as unlimited downloads, password protection, priority support, address book, and tracking; SendGB Exceed is a one-time payment (€2.99–€9.99) for single-use transfers up to 1 TB without registration; and SendGB Extend is a one-time fee (from €1.99) to extend storage duration up to one year. The company also runs a referral program and accepts voluntary "buy us a coffee" contributions.

SendGB distributes exclusively through its website via a product-led growth motion, targeting individual consumers, creative professionals, and small business users with secure file sharing needs. There are no disclosed enterprise customers, no API or SDK offering, no third-party integrations, and no recorded funding rounds, indicating a bootstrapped, privately held operation competing in a commoditized category dominated by larger players.

Direct peers

• Send Anywhere: Send Anywhere provides direct P2P-style file transfers via short codes, with free and paid tiers for large files. Comparable as a cross-platform file transfer utility targeting users who want lightweight, no-account sending similar to SendGB's value proposition.
• WeTransfer: SendGB's most direct competitor. WeTransfer offers a freemium file transfer service (2 GB free tier) with optional Pro subscriptions, drag-and-drop web uploads, and short-lived transfer links — directly overlapping SendGB's core offering, with SendGB explicitly positioning around a larger free tier and no-registration flow.
• Smash: Smash is a French file transfer service offering free transfers without registration, premium subscriptions, and password-protected links. It is closely comparable in product surface, target users (creative professionals), and PLG distribution.
• Filemail: Filemail offers large file transfer and sharing with free and subscription plans, desktop and mobile apps, and business/enterprise features. It overlaps with SendGB on consumer and SMB use cases but extends into more enterprise-grade features.
• TransferXL: TransferXL provides free and paid file transfer up to several GB with no registration. It is a smaller, direct competitor serving similar PLG-style casual transfer needs.
• TransferNow: TransferNow is a European file transfer service with freemium tiers, password protection, and subscription plans for large transfers. Directly comparable in features and target audience to SendGB's Extra/Exceed tiers.
• MEGA: MEGA provides end-to-end encrypted cloud storage and file sharing with generous free quotas and paid plans. While it emphasizes persistent cloud storage rather than ephemeral transfers, its share-link feature directly competes with SendGB for users wanting large, secure file delivery.

Broad incumbents

• Dropbox Transfer: Dropbox Transfer is a feature within the broader Dropbox ecosystem for sending large files with expiration controls. As a BROAD_INCUMBENT, Dropbox bundles file transfer into its existing productivity platform, putting margin and integration pressure on stand-alone services like SendGB.
• pCloud: pCloud is a European cloud storage provider offering file sharing, links, and transfer features as part of broader subscription plans. Comparable as a regional incumbent competing for the same European SMB and consumer share that SendGB targets.

Emerging players

• Wormhole: Wormhole is an emerging end-to-end encrypted file transfer and sharing tool aimed at developers and privacy-conscious users. Comparable as an emerging alternative in the secure MFT niche where SendGB's encryption features compete.
