Uploading files

Uploading files to HeftySend is designed to be fast and simple. Here is what you need to know.

How to upload

Sign in to your account, then drag and drop files onto the upload area on your dashboard. Alternatively, click the upload area to open a file picker and choose your files manually.

You can add multiple files at once. They will all be grouped into one transfer.

File size limits by plan

The maximum file size per upload depends on your plan:

Plan Max file size
Free 20 GB
Premium 1 TB (unlimited with own storage)
Ultra 4 TB (unlimited with own storage)
Lifetime Unlimited (own storage)

To increase your file size limit, visit the pricing page or see Comparing Free, Premium and Ultra.

Upload progress

A progress bar shows how much of each file has been uploaded. Large files may take a few minutes depending on your connection.

Do not close the browser tab while an upload is in progress. This will cancel the upload and you will need to start again. Keep the tab open until the upload completes and your link is generated.

What happens after the upload

Once all files are uploaded, HeftySend generates a unique link. You can copy and share this link immediately. You can also add a title, message, expiry date, and optional password before sharing.
