SwissTransfer vs WeTransfer: which one to trust?
SwissTransfer, run by Swiss host Infomaniak, gives you a generous free transfer size, long link life, and Swiss privacy, easily one of the strongest free tiers. WeTransfer is more famous but stingier. SwissTransfer's catch is speed variability outside Europe. If you want no caps and fast worldwide downloads with no account, that is SAVEDLY's lane.
Programs (.exe, .msi, .bat…) can't be uploaded directly. Put them in a .zip or .rar first.

Frequently asked questions
Is SwissTransfer better than WeTransfer?
On free limits, yes: SwissTransfer allows much bigger transfers and keeps links longer than WeTransfer's free tier, with Swiss data privacy on top. WeTransfer counters with brand familiarity and a slicker flow. For most free users SwissTransfer is objectively the stronger deal.
What is the catch with SwissTransfer?
Speed can vary outside Europe since it is built around Swiss infrastructure, and like all transfer services the links still expire eventually. It also caps how many transfers you can send per day on the free tier.
Do either need an account?
Both let you send free without an account. SAVEDLY also needs no account and adds no transfer-count limits; upload as many files as you want and every one becomes its own clean link.
Which should I use for worldwide recipients?
If your downloaders are in Asia or the Americas, delivery from a global CDN matters. SAVEDLY serves files from Cloudflare's worldwide edge, which keeps downloads fast far from Europe, where Swiss-hosted transfers can crawl.
When is SAVEDLY the better pick?
When you want no size cap, no expiry schedule, and no account at all, and when media previews matter: videos and images open inline on the SAVEDLY link instead of forcing a download first. Files stay up while they get traffic; 7 days untouched and they auto-delete.
