How can I transfer a file?

Use Send with Hivenet in your browser to create a share link, even if you do not have an account.

Send with Hivenet works in your browser. Upload your files, verify your email if needed, and share the link. You do not need the desktop app to use it.\

What you’ll need

  • A current web browser

  • Up to 50 files, with a total size of up to 4 GB

  • An email address if you are not signed in

Step 1: Open Send with Hivenet in your browser

Open Send with Hivenet and go to the upload screen.

Step 2: Add your files

Drag and drop your files, or browse for them on your device.

You can send documents, photos, videos, archives, and other common file types.

You can upload up to 50 files in one transfer, with a total size of up to 4 GB.

If you need to send a folder, zip it first.

Step 3: Verify your email

If you are not signed in, Hivenet asks you to verify your email with a one-time code before creating the link.

Step 4: Create the link

Once your files are ready, create the link and copy it.

Your transfer includes:

  • a download link

  • an expiry date of 7 days

  • the option to copy the link again

Optional: Protect the link

If you want extra protection, add a password before sharing the link.

What your recipient sees

Your recipient opens the link in a browser and downloads the files. They do not need a Hivenet account to do that.
