📄 Editorial Review

SendThisFile is a U.S.-based managed file-transfer service founded in 2003 in Wichita, Kansas. The company was co-founded by Aaron Freeman and Michael Freeman, with Aaron Freeman serving as CEO and owner. Rather than conventional shared hosting, VPS, or dedicated-server hosting, SendThisFile concentrates on secure delivery and collection of large files for individuals and businesses. Its services reach customers in more than 170 countries.

The core workflow is built around sending files, receiving files, and monitoring transfers. Files can be uploaded through a browser and delivered through secure download links, while File Requests allow customers to collect files from clients or partners without requiring the sender to purchase an account. Transfer Activity keeps sent files, incoming files, requests, and download information together inside the account.

The Free service supports unlimited sends and file requests with a 50 MB maximum transfer size, drag-and-drop uploads for files and folders, one-click downloads, seven-day file availability, and 30 days of transfer history. It works well for occasional transfers and provides an easy way to become familiar with the platform before moving to a paid subscription.

The Standard service removes the advertised file-size restriction and adds multiple recipients, recipient authentication, two-factor authentication, 14-day file retention, and one year of transfer history. It is particularly suitable for professionals regularly moving files that are too large for normal email attachments.

The Business service extends these functions to multiple users and increases file retention to 30 days. Company branding, domain registration, automatic user capture, and Website Integration are included. Businesses can place a SendThisFile upload button on their own website so customers can send documents and large files directly into the company's transfer workflow. Customer-facing pages and notification emails can also use corporate branding.

Domain management is useful for larger organizations because users associated with a company email domain can be consolidated under the business account. Administrative control, transfer visibility, branding, and customer-upload functions make Business considerably more suitable for departmental or company-wide use than a collection of unrelated individual accounts.

Transfer tracking provides useful operational information, including whether files have been downloaded, when downloads occurred, and how often a transfer was accessed. Recipient authentication adds another level of control when confidential or business-sensitive files are involved.

At the enterprise level, Fullstack provides a dedicated SendThisFile software environment for organizations with substantial security, compliance, user-management, or customization requirements. It is primarily aimed at larger deployments, including organizations with approximately 200 or more users. The platform combines SendThisFile technology with Microsoft Azure, Backblaze (backblaze.com), and Twilio (twilio.com), and can include branded URLs, enterprise user administration, multi-factor authentication, and a mobile-friendly management environment.

Security is one of SendThisFile's stronger areas. Files travel across encrypted connections using 128-bit TLS encryption, while temporarily stored customer files use AES-256 encryption at rest. Files are automatically removed after their configured retention period, and transfer files are not retained as permanent backup copies. This makes SendThisFile fundamentally different from long-term cloud-storage platforms.

Compliance capabilities cover business requirements associated with HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, the Data Privacy Framework, Data Processing Addendums, subprocessors, and Business Associate Agreements for qualifying healthcare customers. Infrastructure suppliers are subject to SOC 2 assessment requirements, while customers remain responsible for configuring their accounts, security controls, agreements, and internal procedures correctly for their particular regulatory obligations.

Website Integration adds another practical dimension to the service. Companies can incorporate SendThisFile into customer-facing workflows rather than requiring customers to use FTP or attach oversized files to email. WordPress integration and JavaScript-based website buttons can be used for collecting uploads directly through an existing website.

The service is particularly suitable for accounting companies, healthcare organizations, legal offices, designers, printing businesses, engineering companies, consultants, and other organizations that frequently exchange large customer files. The account environment is browser based, so users do not need traditional FTP software for normal transfer activity.

Product pricing is denominated in U.S. dollars, reflecting the company's U.S. business base and primary market orientation.
