Dropbox Transfer lets you send up to 100GB of files at once

A new feature called Dropbox Transfer (launching in private beta today) aims to remove the last bits of friction from that process by focusing specifically on sending files, not necessarily collaborating on them.

And since Transfer sends a copy of the file, you can change or delete things without those changes affecting the recipient. Dropbox's head of product Adam Nash said that he imagines people using Transfer to send content to clients, whereas shared folders are more useful in the context of collaboration.

Another benefit Dropbox is touting is file size: you can send up to 100GB of files in one go with Transfer. That's significantly more than you can send with services like Hightail, WeTransfer and Mediafire.
Unfortunately Dropbox hasn't said what type of account you'll need to have to send 100GB files, but it's safe to say that free users will have to make do with a smaller file limit.

Dropbox Transfer opens today as a private beta -- regardless of whether you're using a free or paid account, you can join the beta waitlist on Dropbox's site for a chance to give the service a shot.

Dropbox launches its file-transfer service for all users

Dropbox is rolling out its previously-announced file-transfer service to all users from today after a four-month beta period.
The cloud-storage giant first unveiled Dropbox Transfer back in July, serving as an easy way for its users to share files with people where collaboration isn’t important — this could be useful for delivering a finished product (such as a video), for example, or a contract.

While Dropbox Transfer is available on all pricing tiers, the available features will vary according to the plan. On the free tier, users can share files of up to 100MB in size, which will expire after 7 days. However, paid users on the Professional, Business Advanced, Enterprise, or Education plans can set the expiry time for 7, 30, 60, or 90 days, and are afforded 100GB for each transfer.
The existing Dropbox shared-link functionality will likely suffice for many users, but for those who want to limit access or ensure that subsequent file-updates are not available to the recipient, then Transfer will likely be a welcome addition.
