• Files shared via a transfer won't appear in the recipient's Dropbox folder
• Transfers automatically expire after 7 days
• Recipients can't edit files within a transfer

When you send a transfer, the recipient will receive a link with your name, the name of your transfer, a list of file names and sizes, and the expiration date of the transfer. Recipients can share the transfer link. A Dropbox account is not required to access or download a transfer.

The size limit of your transfer depends on the plan you have.

• Basic (free): 100MB
• Plus: 2GB
• Family: 2GB
• Professional: 100GB
• Business Standard: 2GB
• Business Advanced, Enterprise, or Education: 100GB

Note: Members of Dropbox Business teams that have purchased the Creative Tools Add-On can send transfers up to 250 GB in size.
