3. Before You Send a File

Before uploading a file, always perform a quick security and accuracy check.

Step 1 — Check the file

Make sure you have selected the correct file.

Check:

  • File name
  • File version
  • File contents
  • File size
  • Whether the file contains confidential information

Step 2 — Check the recipient

Carefully verify the recipient's email address.

Sending a transfer to the wrong email address can result in confidential information being made available to the wrong person.

Step 3 — Check the sensitivity of the information

Determine whether your files contain:

  • Personal data
  • Confidential business information
  • Financial information
  • Contracts
  • Customer information
  • Other sensitive data

Use appropriate security settings when sending sensitive information.

Step 4 — Choose the appropriate transfer settings

Check:

  • Transfer size
  • Available capacity
  • Expiration period
  • Password protection
  • Notification settings
  • Tracking options

Step 5 — Perform a final check

Before clicking Send, check everything one more time.

4. Sending Encrypted Files

Secure and Encrypted File Transfer

Transfers2.com is designed to transfer files securely using encrypted connections.

When sending a file through Transfers2.com, the file is transferred using security measures designed to protect the data while it is being transmitted.

Important

The term encrypted file transfer refers to protection of files during the transfer process. It should not automatically be interpreted as end-to-end encryption unless that specific technical feature is explicitly provided by your Transfers2.com implementation.

5. Before Sending Confidential Files

Before sending confidential or sensitive files:

  1. Verify the recipient.
  2. Verify the file.
  3. Select the appropriate security settings.
  4. Use password protection where appropriate.
  5. Set an appropriate expiration period.
  6. Share only the information that is necessary.
  7. Keep your own backup if the file needs to be retained.

6. Password Protection

Where available, you can protect a transfer with a password.

A password provides an additional layer of protection.

Use a strong and unique password.

Avoid passwords based on:

  • Names
  • Birth dates
  • Telephone numbers
  • Company names
  • Simple words
  • 123456
  • password

7. Share the Password Separately

For confidential transfers, do not send the transfer link and password through the same communication channel whenever possible.

For example:

Email: Transfer link

Telephone / separate messaging channel: Password

This provides an additional layer of protection.

8. Start a New Transfer

Open Transfers2.com in your web browser.

Choose the option to create a new transfer.

You can then select the files you want to send.

9. Select Your Files

Select one or more files from your device.

Depending on your subscription and available functionality, multiple files can be included in the same transfer.

After selecting the files, verify:

  • Number of files
  • File names
  • Total size
  • Correct contents

10. Upload Your Files

Start the upload process.

Keep your browser open until the upload has completed.

Avoid closing the browser or disconnecting your internet connection during the upload.

The upload time depends on:

  • File size
  • Internet connection
  • Upload speed
  • Network conditions
  • Device performance
  • Browser

11. Add the Recipient

If you are sending the transfer by email, enter the recipient's email address.

Check the address carefully before sending.

If multiple recipients are supported by your transfer settings, you can add the required recipients.

12. Create a Transfer Link

Instead of sending the transfer directly by email, you can create a transfer link when this option is available.

The generated link can then be shared with the intended recipient.

Treat the link as confidential when the transferred files contain sensitive information.

13. Set an Expiration Period

Transfers2.com is designed around temporary file transfers.

Depending on your subscription and available settings, you can select how long the transfer remains available.

Once the transfer expires, the files are no longer available through that transfer.

14. Temporary Storage

Transfers2.com uses temporary storage to make file transfer possible.

This does not mean that Transfers2.com is intended to function as a permanent cloud-storage service.

The basic principle is:

Upload → Transfer → Open → Automatic Deletion

Files remain temporarily available for the transfer process and are removed according to the applicable transfer settings.

15. Automatic Deletion

Automatic deletion is an important part of the Transfers2.com transfer model.

Files may be automatically deleted after:

  • The transfer has been opened, according to the applicable transfer settings; or
  • The transfer expires.

The exact deletion behavior depends on the transfer configuration and applicable service conditions.

Important

Do not use Transfers2.com as your only backup or permanent archive.

Download and retain important files separately when you need to keep them.

16. Send the Transfer

Before sending, check:

  1. Correct files
  2. Correct recipient
  3. Security settings
  4. Password
  5. Expiration period
  6. Transfer size

Then start the transfer.

Once the transfer has been successfully created, the recipient receives the required information to access the files.

17. Receiving a Transfer

The recipient may receive an email containing a transfer link.

Open the link.

If password protection is enabled, enter the required password.

After successful access, the recipient can download the available files.

18. Download Important Files Immediately

Transfers2.com is designed for temporary file transfer.

Recipients should download important files as soon as possible.

Do not wait until the expiration period is about to end.

Once a transfer expires or the applicable automatic deletion conditions are reached, the files may no longer be available.

19. What If a Transfer Has Expired?

An expired transfer can no longer be accessed.

If the files are still required, the sender may need to create a new transfer.

For important files, always check the expiration date.

20. Sending Multiple Files

You can send multiple files in one transfer when supported by your subscription.

For large numbers of files, you may also combine them into a ZIP archive.

Example:

20 documents → 1 ZIP file → 1 transfer

Always verify that the ZIP archive can be opened correctly before sending it.

21. Sending Large Files

Transfers2.com is designed for large file transfers.

Before sending a large file:

  • Check the maximum transfer size.
  • Check your available transfer capacity.
  • Use a stable internet connection.
  • Keep your browser open during upload.
  • Confirm the upload has completed successfully.

22. ZIP Files

ZIP files can make it easier to transfer multiple files together.

They can also simplify the transfer of:

  • Project folders
  • Document collections
  • Photo collections
  • Design files
  • Business files

Always verify the contents of a ZIP archive before sending it.

23. Secure Business File Transfer

Transfers2.com can be used by businesses and professionals to exchange:

  • Contracts
  • Proposals
  • Designs
  • Videos
  • Presentations
  • Project files
  • Technical documents
  • Marketing materials
  • Large business files

Companies should establish their own internal procedures for handling confidential information.

24. Personal Data

If you transfer personal data, you remain responsible for ensuring that the transfer is lawful and appropriate.

Before sending personal data, consider:

  • Whether you have a lawful basis for the processing
  • Whether the recipient is authorized to receive the information
  • Whether you are sending only the necessary information
  • Whether appropriate security measures are being used

Transfers2.com does not replace your own GDPR or legal obligations.

25. Do Not Use Transfers2.com as Your Only Backup

Transfers2.com is a file-transfer service.

It should not be considered your only copy of important data.

Keep independent backups of files that you need to retain.

This includes:

  • Business records
  • Contracts
  • Financial documents
  • Original photographs
  • Videos
  • Project files
  • Databases

26. Tracking Transfers

Where tracking is available through your account or subscription, you can monitor the status of transfers.

Depending on the available functionality, tracking may provide information such as:

  • Transfer status
  • Opening/access activity
  • Download activity
  • Expiration
  • Notifications

Use tracking only for legitimate business or personal purposes.

27. Notifications

Notifications can help you stay informed about certain transfer events.

They can be useful when you need to know whether a recipient has accessed or downloaded a transfer.

Always ensure that your email address is correct.

28. If You Send the Wrong File

If you accidentally select the wrong file:

  1. Stop the transfer if this is still possible.
  2. Check whether the transfer can be cancelled or disabled.
  3. Contact the recipient if necessary.
  4. Follow your internal incident procedure for confidential information.
  5. Create a new, correct transfer if required.

29. If You Send to the Wrong Recipient

If a transfer is sent to the wrong recipient:

  1. Act immediately.
  2. Contact the unintended recipient where appropriate.
  3. Ask them not to open or use the files.
  4. Use available transfer controls where possible.
  5. Follow your organization's data-incident procedure if personal or confidential information is involved.

30. Security Best Practices

For safer file transfers:

  • Use strong passwords.
  • Use unique passwords.
  • Verify recipients.
  • Use password protection for sensitive transfers.
  • Share passwords separately.
  • Use appropriate expiration periods.
  • Keep your software updated.
  • Use a trusted device.
  • Use a secure internet connection.
  • Keep independent backups of important files.

31. Avoid Phishing

Never assume that a file-transfer email is safe simply because it contains a transfer link.

Before opening a transfer:

  • Verify the sender.
  • Confirm that you were expecting the files.
  • Check the context.
  • Be cautious with unexpected attachments or links.

Do not download files from unknown or suspicious senders.
