What is Smash?

Smash is a French file transfer service for sending big files by email or link, with previews, download tracking and transfers stored in Europe. The free plan needs no account and sends up to 2 GB per transfer quickly, with larger files queued, and links stay live for seven days.

Pros: what Smash does well

  • No account needed
  • Files previewable in the browser
  • European hosting

Cons: where it falls short

  • Free transfers over 2 GB wait in a queue
  • Links expire after seven days on the free plan

Who Smash is for

Creators and freelancers who regularly send large videos, photos or project files to clients.

Who can skip it

Teams that already share everything through a cloud drive.
