How to Transfer a 4 GB File Online - 3 Steps
Step 1
Open FileSendZone on the device with your 4 GB file. Click 'Add Files' to pick the file, or 'Add Folder' to send an entire folder in one go.
Step 2
A link and QR code appear instantly on your screen. Share the link however you like - text message, email, WhatsApp - or have the other person scan the QR code.
Step 3
They open the link on their device and the 4 GB file downloads directly from your device. No server involved, no waiting for an upload to complete on your end first.
Built for sharing without friction
No Cap at 4 GB or Anywhere Else
Some tools cap free transfers at 2 GB or 5 GB. FileSendZone has no cap at all. Send 4 GB, 40 GB, or any size - the same free tool, no upgrade needed.
Direct Transfer, No Wait
Your 4 GB file travels directly from your device to the other person. No upload to a server first. The moment they open your link, the transfer starts.

Works Between Any Devices
Send a 4 GB file from Mac to Android, Windows to iPhone, or any other combination. If the device has a modern browser, it works.
