TransferNow alternative for white-label file sharing

TransferNow is a fast secure file transfer service. Sharebrand is built for ongoing branded client relationships.

TransferNow is a French file transfer service that lets you send files up to 250 GB on Premium or 500 GB on Team, securely and without mandatory registration. The free plan covers 5 GB transfers available for 7 days. Premium at $10 per month for one user adds 250 GB per transfer, 365-day file availability, 1 TB of cloud storage, password protection, white-label customisation, a branded subdomain (your-company.transfernow.net), and a sell files feature that lets you charge recipients before download. The Team plan at $30 per month (or $18 per month on a two-year contract) covers 10 users with 500 GB per transfer and 2 TB of shared storage. Enterprise is available at custom pricing and adds SSO, SCIM provisioning, and a true custom domain via CNAME.

TransferNow competes on breadth of file transfer features: anti-virus scanning, SSE-C encryption with your own passphrase, Outlook and Gmail plugins, desktop clients for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and a file reception widget for embedding on your own website. Their client list includes Hilton, Ducati, Vinci, Aer Lingus, Hachette UK, and Bay Photo Lab. The platform is hosted on Scaleway infrastructure in France with data centres across Europe, the US, and Asia.

Where TransferNow fits well: professionals and teams that need fast, secure large file transfers with branding and a sell files capability at a modest monthly cost. Where it falls short: there is no branded client workspace that persists over time, files expire after a maximum of 365 days with no indefinite option, and a true custom domain (your own domain, not a TransferNow subdomain) requires the Enterprise plan at custom pricing.

What TransferNow does well

TransferNow Premium at $10 per month for a single user is a competitive white-label option. It includes a branded subdomain, logo, brand colours, 250 GB per transfer, 1 TB of storage, 365-day file availability, and a sell files feature that lets senders charge recipients before files are released for download. For a solo freelancer or individual professional who needs branded file sending with monetisation at a low entry price, this is a strong combination.

Security and infrastructure are genuine strengths. AES-256-XTS encryption at rest, SSE-C with your own passphrase, anti-virus scanning on received files, and download tracking are included on paid tiers. Files are hosted on Scaleway infrastructure in France across EU, US, and Asian data centres with SOC 2 Type II certification. Security audits are conducted by Synacktiv, a French penetration testing firm. The platform supports 20+ languages and includes desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux alongside Outlook and Gmail plugins. Serious organisations use it — Hilton, Ducati, Vinci, Aer Lingus, and Hachette UK appear on their verified client list.

Where TransferNow falls short for agency file sharing

TransferNow is optimised for the transfer event: send a file, recipient downloads it, transaction complete. Each limitation below stems from that design focus rather than a product flaw.

Each transfer is a standalone event with a 365-day maximum

TransferNow has no shared space where clients return to access project files over time. Each transfer is a separate link. Files expire after a maximum of 365 days on Premium and Team — there is no option to keep them available indefinitely. For agencies managing long-term clients with multiple rounds of deliverables, this means old project files disappear after a year with no central home for the relationship. Sharebrand keeps files until you choose to delete them.

A true custom domain requires Enterprise

TransferNow Premium and Team include a branded subdomain on TransferNow's own infrastructure: your-company.transfernow.net. This is not a fully owned custom domain. TransferNow is still visible in the URL. A true CNAME custom domain — where the link lives entirely on your own domain — is an Enterprise feature at custom pricing. Sharebrand delivers every share link at your fully owned domain on its Starter plan at $29 per month.

Team pricing is $30 for 10 users with no flexible tier between

TransferNow's pricing moves from $10 per month for one user to $30 per month for 10 users. There is no tier for two, three, or five users — a small agency pays the 10-user Team price regardless of actual team size. Sharebrand Starter at $29 per month covers exactly five team seats with 3 TB of storage, a client workspace, and no file expiry.

Cancellation and account management complaints

Multiple user reviews on Capterra mention frustration with TransferNow's account management, including difficulty cancelling subscriptions and accessing accounts after losing passwords. One reviewer described the experience as "extremely frustrating" and noted that support redirected to bots rather than resolving the issue. While these are not universal experiences, they are a recurring theme worth noting.

Who actually needs a TransferNow alternative

TransferNow is well-suited for individuals and solo professionals who need fast, secure large file sends with white-label branding, anti-virus scanning, and a sell files capability at an affordable monthly cost. The businesses that need something different are those where client file sharing is a recurring professional service, not a series of standalone transfers.

Design agencies delivering projects over weeks with multiple rounds of files. Photography and video studios where clients need access to work beyond a 365-day window. Marketing firms managing ongoing client campaigns. Freelancers who need their own domain in the URL, not a TransferNow subdomain. Any business that wants a branded client workspace that persists indefinitely, or needs a small team (two to four users) without paying for 10.

TransferNow pricing vs Sharebrand pricing

TransferNow Premium costs $10 per month for one user with 250 GB per transfer, 1 TB of storage, white-label customisation on a branded subdomain, a sell files feature, and 365-day file availability. The Team plan is $30 per month for 10 users with 500 GB per transfer and 2 TB of shared storage, or $18 per month on a two-year contract. A true CNAME custom domain is Enterprise only at custom pricing.

Sharebrand Starter is $29 per month for up to five team members with 3 TB of pooled storage, a fully owned custom domain, a brand portal, a file payment gate, and files that stay until you delete them. Pro is $59 per month for up to ten members and 6 TB. Annual billing saves two months.

For a five-person team, TransferNow Team is $30/month versus Sharebrand Starter at $29/month. The plans are close in price but different in structure. TransferNow Team covers 10 users with 500 GB per transfer — but files expire after 365 days and the URL is a TransferNow subdomain. Sharebrand covers five seats with a fully owned custom domain, 3 TB of storage, and files that stay indefinitely. Both platforms include a sell files feature. The decision comes down to whether you need more users and larger transfer sizes (TransferNow Team) or your own domain and files that do not disappear after a year (Sharebrand). For a solo professional, TransferNow Premium at $10/month is a genuine bargain.
