For any file size (up to 1 TB!)
With SURFfilesender, you send larger files (up to 1 TB!) than with similar (commercial) services, e-mail or FTP servers. Think of files with research data such as genome sequences or astronomical observations. SURFfilesender also makes it easy to send smaller files.
Safe and secure
Security and privacy are guaranteed; we treat your files with the utmost confidentiality. All servers are located in the Netherlands and are subject to European privacy legislation.
Encryption possible for extra security
With end-to-end encryption, it is technically impossible to access files 'from outside'. You send a password to open files, for example by phone or text message. This way, you decide who has access to privacy-sensitive files.
