Can I send translation memory and termbase files?

Yes. TMX, XLIFF, SDLXLIFF, MQXLIFF, TBX and other CAT tool formats transfer bit-for-bit identical to the original. Metadata, segment IDs and language pair information are preserved exactly as you uploaded them.

Can I send a full localisation package to a client?

Yes. Bundle translated files, glossaries, style guides, screenshots and reference material into a single ZIP and send the lot as one transfer. Transfers up to 200 GB cover even large multilingual deliveries with full reference packages.

Is the transfer secure enough for NDA work?

Yes. All files are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS. Password protection is free on every transfer. For the most sensitive jobs, customer-managed encryption (SSE-C) lets you provide your own key so even TransferRocket cannot read the files.

Can I keep files within EU borders for GDPR compliance?

Yes. Choose an EU storage region per transfer. The file stays within EU jurisdiction for its entire lifecycle, from upload through delivery to automatic deletion.

Can I send to multiple reviewers at once?

Yes. Attach multiple recipient email addresses to a transfer and TransferRocket emails everyone a download link automatically. You can also share the link manually with as many people as you need.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Pay only for transfers larger than 5 GB. There's no monthly fee, so freelance translators who deliver a few packages a month pay considerably less than they would on a subscription service.

Translation work has unusual file transfer requirements

Most translation work involves files that are either highly confidential, highly structured, or both. Translation memories, term bases and bilingual XLIFF files carry years of client-specific terminology and context that needs to arrive intact. Legal translation routinely sits under NDA. Medical translation involves protected health information. Financial translation touches material non-public information. Marketing translation often handles pre-launch product detail. None of this is content that should be passing through consumer file-sharing tools with ad-supported download pages.

At the same time, the practical volumes can be large. A multilingual project for film subtitles, software localisation or technical documentation can produce full delivery packages of 5 to 50 GB once reference material, screenshots and source files are included. Email attachments fail well before this. WeTransfer's free tier caps at 3 GB and shows ads. Cloud storage shares require client account setup. None of those options fit professional translation workflows cleanly.

Built for the way translators actually deliver work

TransferRocket transfers files bit-for-bit identical to the original. TMX, XLIFF, SDLXLIFF, MQXLIFF, TBX, IDML packages and every other CAT tool format are delivered with no encoding changes and no metadata loss. The client receives exactly what you uploaded.

Password protection is free on every transfer, which matters because NDA-bound translation work is the norm, not the exception. Customer-managed encryption (SSE-C) is available for jobs requiring the highest privacy level, where even the file transfer service shouldn't be able to read the files. Storage region selection keeps EU client work within EU jurisdiction for GDPR compliance.

Pay-per-use pricing fits freelance economics better than a fixed monthly fee. Most freelance translators deliver a handful of large packages a month and shouldn't pay subscription rates for what's actually on-demand use.

EU storage region for GDPR: Keep deliveries within EU jurisdiction. Important for translation agencies and freelancers handling EU client work.
Up to 200 GB per transfer: Large translation memories, multilingual film subtitle packages and reference document archives fit in a single delivery.

Delivering a multilingual project to a client

You've finished translating a product manual into eight European languages. The deliverable includes bilingual XLIFFs, finalised IDML packages, an updated termbase for the client, screenshots of any visual changes and a translator's note document. Around 12 GB in total.

You package everything as a ZIP, drag it into TransferRocket, set a 14-day storage duration to cover the client's QA cycle, choose an EU storage region for GDPR compliance, enable password protection and enter the client's PM email address. The upload runs in the background while you start the next job.

The PM receives a secure download link by email. Password protected, EU-hosted, encrypted at rest. They download the package, you see the moment they access it, the files automatically delete after 14 days. You pay once for the delivery and move on. No monthly bill, no quarterly subscription review.
