Not receiving our emails?

This can be for many reasons. The most common reason is that you have ended up on our bounce list! Short and sweet - our emails are being rejected by your mail server! 
 

Please check the spam folder if your recipient is not receiving your emails.

If you are still having problems receiving our emails, please reach out to our support team by submitting a ticket via the contact us form 

As part of our continued efforts to keep your account secure, we're requesting that each and every account holder verify their email address.

This process also involves aligning your account's email address, and your default recipient address so that they're one in the same. We've aligned the two in order to make your account simpler to use, as well as to increase the overall level of security on our platform.

Once you've signed up for a free account and verified your email address to confirm that it's really you, you can be sure that every transfer you send is a verified one. That means no more 6-digit verification codes, and no more time eating nails while waiting for that code to arrive in your inbox.

If you are having trouble verifying your account, you can also contact us via our contact form.

Please upload your files and create a shared link. Additionally, you can share files with multiple people simultaneously. Recipients can open a shared link on a web browser and download the files to their devices without installing the app or having a Sendlargefiles account. 

However, if you receive files on a mobile device with a file format or audio codec that is not supported by the OS version of your device, downloading from a mobile web browser may be challenging. In such cases, it is recommended to install Send Large Files Free Official Mobile on your mobile device for easier and more reliable transmission.

This depends on the transmission method used.
