Send Anywhere

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.

Transfer methods: Users can send files with a six-digit key, downloadable links, or a notification to another registered device.

Cross-platform delivery: Supported clients include Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, Amazon Kindle, web browsers, Chrome and Whale extensions, Outlook, and WordPress.

Large file sharing: The free plan supports real-time transfers up to 50GB and link creation up to 10GB. Paid plans increase link and download allowances.

Temporary storage: Link-based files remain available until expiration. The service states that expired stored files are automatically deleted.

Security controls: Transfers are encrypted during transmission. Key-based transfers use direct device exchange where supported, while link transfers use temporary encrypted server storage.

Email integration: The Send Anywhere Email Add-on works with Google Chrome and Microsoft Outlook. It supports large-file email workflows without placing the complete file directly inside an email.

API: Send Anywhere previously offered an Open API. The company announced that its Open API server and issued keys would stop working on March 31, 2026.

Send Anywhere offers a free plan and two paid plans. The official pricing page displays monthly and yearly billing options, although the retrieved pricing details clearly identify the monthly prices.

The free plan includes real-time transfers up to 50GB and link creation up to 10GB. The Lite plan costs $5.99 per month, and the Standard plan costs $9.99 per month.

Lite provides up to 200GB of download data, faster subscriber servers, link management, and partial download-page customization. Standard provides up to 500GB of download data and broader customization.

A separate free-trial period isn’t listed. The free plan functions as the product’s no-cost entry option.

Pros:

• Supports transfers across major mobile and desktop operating systems.
• Basic key-based transfers can work without account registration.
• Offers a substantial free allowance for real-time transfers.
• Provides links, device notifications, and email add-on workflows.
• Supports original file transfer without requiring format conversion.

Cons:

• Key-based transfers require the receiving device to participate during the transfer window.
• Link transfers rely on temporary server storage and expiration rules.
• Some reviewers report connectivity or transfer reliability problems.
• The Open API was discontinued on March 31, 2026.
• Paid plans are primarily designed around download data, link controls, and customization rather than collaborative file storage.

WeTransfer is a comparable link-based service focused on sending files through temporary download links. Dropbox and Google Drive provide broader persistent cloud storage and collaboration features. SendGB and Smash are other transfer-focused alternatives for sharing large files through links.

Users choosing among these products should compare maximum transfer sizes, expiration controls, persistent storage, recipient access, security requirements, and integration needs.
