What you’ll need
A web browser (we recommend the latest version of Firefox and DuckDuckGo. Chrome or Safari only if you must.)
Files to upload (up to 50 and 4 GB in size)
An email address (for verification, only once per session)
You don't need an account unless you want to skip the verification process, access to cloud storage, or lift the 10-transfer limit.
Step 1: Go to send.hivenet.com
You’ll land directly on the upload screen. No dashboard, no distractions.
Step 2: Add your file
Drag and drop your files, or click the upload button to browse. You can send:
Documents (PDFs, Word, Excel)
Media (MP4, JPEG, WAV, etc.)
Archives (ZIP, RAR)
Design files (PSD, CAD, etc.)
You can upload up to 50 individual files in one transfer — any file type.
🚫 Heads up: folders aren’t supported right now. If you want to send a folder, we recommend zipping it first.
Step 3: Verify your email
We’ll ask you to confirm your email address with a one-time code. It’s quick, and you won’t need to do it again during your session.
This step helps prevent spam and makes sure you're in control of the link. Unless you create an account, you will have to verify your email each time you visit the website.
Step 4: Hit 'Create link'
Your files will be encrypted, chunked, and distributed across our network. Once it’s ready, you’ll see a confirmation screen with:
The download link
The expiry date (7 days)
A copy button to share the link again if needed
Optional: Add a password
Before sending, you can:
Set a password to protect the download link
What your recipient sees
They’ll get a secure download link. No account needed to open.
That’s it
Once completed, your transfer is live. You’ll see a confirmation screen with the link, expiry date, and option to copy it again.
