Why use Netload to send large files online?
Most file sharing services lock useful features behind a monthly subscription. Netload takes a different approach — the Free plan is genuinely free with no hidden limits, and Pro costs just £1.99 per transfer when you need it. There’s no account to create, no storage quota eating into your allowance, and no recurring charge to cancel. It’s built for people who send large files online occasionally and don’t want to pay every month for the privilege.
Netload is particularly well suited to freelancers delivering project files, small businesses sharing documents with clients, and anyone who needs a secure, temporary download link fast.
How Netload works
Upload your file. Drag and drop or browse — files up to 5 GB on Free, up to 50 GB on Pro.
Get your link. A shareable download link is generated instantly at /f/your-link.
Choose Pro if you need it. Pay £1.99 once for that transfer. Password protection, custom expiry, and download notifications are applied straight away.
Share it. Send the link by email, message, or however works for you. Your recipient downloads the file — no account needed on their end either.
Why Netload instead of WeTransfer or Google Drive?
Most file sharing tools want a monthly subscription whether you use them or not. Netload charges nothing for standard transfers and just £1.99 when you need Pro features — per transfer, not per month. There’s no account to create, no storage quota to manage, and no upsell emails. Upload, share, done.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Netload works without any sign-up on either end — for the sender and the recipient.
Is there a file size limit?
Free transfers support files up to 5 GB. Pro transfers support up to 50 GB.
How long does my download link stay active?
Free links expire after 7 days. With Pro, you can set expiry anywhere from 1 hour to 3 months.
Can I password-protect my files?
Yes — password protection is available on Pro transfers. Set a password when you upgrade and share it separately with your recipient.
Will I know when someone downloads my file?
Pro transfers include an optional email notification so you know the moment your file has been downloaded.
Is my file secure?
All files are stored securely and links expire automatically. Pro transfers can be further protected with a password.
Can I use Netload for business?
Yes. Netload is well suited to freelancers, agencies, and small businesses that need to send large files to clients without committing to a monthly plan.
