Smash

Smash is a French file transfer platform launched in Lyon in 2017. It lets individuals and organizations send files through browser-based upload pages, temporary download links, and email notifications.

The service supports files and folders, including large media assets. Paid accounts add file reception, transfer tracking, branding, storage, team administration, and longer availability periods.

Smash also provides native mobile applications, a macOS application, a Microsoft Outlook add-in, and an API for integrating file transfers into websites, applications, and automated workflows.

Smash provides browser-based transfers through email or shareable links. Users can configure expiration dates, passwords, notifications, and other transfer settings.

The free plan allows transfers up to 2 GB and keeps links available for up to seven days. Transfers above 2 GB enter a lower-priority queue on the free plan.

Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans support unlimited transfer sizes. Paid plans also include file reception through drop-off links, transfer history, download tracking, and file previews for supported media types.

Branding controls can add logos, backgrounds, promotional messages, custom subdomains, and, on Enterprise, custom domains through CNAME configuration.

Security features include password-protected transfers, temporary links, malware protection, SSL/TLS, and 256-bit AES encryption for data in transit and at rest.

The API supports upload and download workflows. Official SDK and integration documentation covers Node.js, Python, PHP, .NET, Android, iOS, HTML, and JavaScript. No-code or workflow integrations include Enfocus Switch and Bubble.

Smash offers a free plan with no payment or sign-up requirement. It supports transfers up to 2 GB, with links available for up to seven days.

The Pro plan costs $10 per month before VAT on monthly billing. It supports one user, unlimited transfer size, 1 TB of storage, transfers lasting up to 30 days, branding, file reception, and Outlook integration.

The Team plan costs $25 per month before VAT on monthly billing. It supports user packages from 10 through 50 accounts, unlimited transfer size, 2 TB of storage, file reception, branding, user management, and Outlook integration.

Enterprise pricing is custom. Enterprise adds unlimited users, SSO, SCIM provisioning, custom domains, and other organization-level controls.

The separate Smash API includes a 14-day trial with 100 GB of transfer volume and requires no credit card. API plans begin at €10 per month for 50 GB and extend to 20 TB for €1,500 per month.
