Send Anywhere Alternative
A Send Anywhere alternative whose links don’t vanish in 48 hours.
Send Anywhere is brilliant for moving files between your own devices. For sending work to clients, Send Atlas links last up to 7 days free and 30 days on Pro, with no ads on the download page.
How Send Atlas and Send Anywhere differ
Send Anywhere is best known for instant device-to-device transfers using a one-time 6-digit key. It can also create a share link, but free links hold up to 10 GB and expire after 48 hours, and the free service is ad-supported. Its paid Plus plan adds links that don’t expire, password protection, download limits, and uploads of up to 50 GB. Send Atlas is built for sending to clients rather than to your own phone: longer-lasting links, transfers up to 1 TB on Pro, and receipts when files are downloaded.

Where Send Atlas is different
A week, not two days
Free links last up to 7 days with a free account, and up to 30 days on Pro, so a client who opens the email on Monday still gets the file.
Clean download pages
No ads or pop-ups between your client and the files.
Up to 1 TB per transfer
Send Anywhere Plus uploads top out at 50 GB. Send Atlas Pro sends up to 1 TB in one link.
Controls on the free plan
Passwords, link expiry, download limits, and notes come with a free account, not just the paid tier.
Proof it arrived Pro
Get an email the moment your client downloads, so “I never got the file” stops being your problem.
Folders and DCPs arrive intact
Drop a whole folder, including DCPs and image sequences, and it travels as one transfer with its structure preserved. Recipients can download everything or just the files they need.
When Send Anywhere is still the right call
For moving photos and videos between your own phone, laptop and tablet, Send Anywhere is excellent: the 6-digit key is fast, works across platforms, and has no size limit for direct device-to-device transfers. Send Atlas doesn’t do that. Choose Send Atlas when you’re sending to someone else, especially a client, and need the link to last more than 48 hours, carry no ads, and support big deliveries.
