For Freelancers
Deliver Files to Clients Without a Subscription
Pay per transfer, not per month. Send up to 200 GB with professional tools. No monthly fee, no account required for your clients.
Freelance workloads don't fit subscription pricing
If you run your own creative business, your workload varies month to month. Some months you're delivering four large projects. Others you're in research, sales or planning mode and sending nothing at all. A monthly subscription to a file transfer service charges you the same either way.
The alternatives aren't great either. Free tiers cap at file sizes too small for real client work. Consumer cloud storage like Dropbox or Google Drive requires clients to navigate shared folders and often silently re-encodes files. Sending files via WeTransfer's free tier is fine for one-offs but inconsistent as a professional delivery workflow.
Pay only for what you actually send
TransferRocket is built on a pay-per-use model. You pay a one-time fee per transfer, calculated on file size and storage duration. There's no monthly subscription. There's no per-seat fee. If you send nothing for a month, you pay nothing.
Transfers up to 5 GB are free. Paid transfers go up to 200 GB, which comfortably fits large design packages, raw video, high-resolution photography or any other deliverable a freelance creative typically sends. Pricing is transparent. The price calculator on the pricing page shows you exactly what any given transfer will cost before you commit.
Clients receive a simple, professional download link. No account required, no navigating shared folders, no creating a login. They click, they download, they have the files. You can password-protect the delivery, track who has downloaded it, and choose the storage region for GDPR compliance.

A typical freelance delivery
You've just finished a branding project for a client. You have a 15 GB delivery package: final logo files in every format, brand guidelines as a PDF, source files in Illustrator and Figma, and a small folder of marketing templates.
You drag the folder into TransferRocket, set a 14-day storage duration, enable password protection, and enter the client's email. TransferRocket uploads in the background, generates a secure link, and emails the client.
Your client receives a clean branded email. They click the link, enter the password, preview the key files directly in the browser to sanity-check the delivery, and download. You see exactly when they download, which lets you confirm delivery and close the project cleanly.
The transfer costs a one-time fee based on 15 GB × 14 days. Next month, if you deliver three projects, you pay for three transfers. If you deliver nothing, you pay nothing.
Frequently asked questions
- Do my clients need to create an account to receive files?
- No. Clients simply receive a download link and can access their files directly in the browser. No signup, no account, no friction, which matters when you're trying to deliver a professional experience.
- Can I expense transfers as a business cost?
- Yes. Each transfer generates an invoice which can be expensed or passed through to clients. Because pricing is per transfer rather than monthly, costs are tied directly to specific projects.
- Can I work with clients in different countries?
- Yes. TransferRocket lets you choose the storage region for each transfer, so you can meet GDPR requirements for EU clients or store closer to clients in other regions for faster downloads.
- What if I only send one or two large transfers per month?
- That's exactly who TransferRocket is built for. You pay per transfer based on file size and storage duration, with no monthly fee. If you don't send anything, you don't pay anything.
- Can I see when my client has downloaded the files?
- Yes, with a TransferRocket account. You can see exactly which email addresses have downloaded your transfer, plus a total download count, which is useful for confirming delivery without chasing the client.
- Can I password-protect deliveries?
- Yes. Password protection is free on every transfer. It's useful for confidential work like unreleased designs, embargoed content or draft deliverables.
