About Smash
Smash is a WeTransfer-style service from a French company, founded in 2017, for sending big files by link or email. Its headline difference is that even free transfers have no hard size limit: anything up to 2 GB goes straight through, while bigger free transfers wait in a queue behind paying users. Free transfers stay available for seven days, and you don't need to sign up. The Pro plan for one user removes the queue, keeps transfers for 30 days and adds customisation such as branded backgrounds, file reception pages, transfer tracking and an Outlook add-in; Team and Enterprise plans add more users and admin controls, and an API is available for developers. Paying annually or for two years cuts the price substantially. It runs in the browser, with apps for Mac, iOS and Android and an add-in for Outlook. Video producers and photographers are its main audience.
Best for: Photographers and video teams who send very large files and want no hard size limit.
