Overview
Send Anywhere is a file transfer service developed and operated by Rakuten Symphony Korea, Inc. The product supports transfers between phones, computers, browsers, and selected productivity tools.
Users can send files through a six-digit transfer key, a temporary link, or a device notification. Real-time key transfers are designed for direct exchange, while link-based transfers temporarily store encrypted files on Send Anywhere servers.
The service does not require an account for basic key-based transfers. Premium plans add larger download allowances, link management, customization, and subscriber-only servers.
