Do both devices have to be online now?
Use a live browser transfer when both devices are available now and you do not want the service to keep a file copy. Use a stored link when the receiver needs to download later or retry after the sender goes offline.
- Live browser transfer: both devices participate until completion
- Temporary transfer link: the service retains a time-limited copy
- Cloud drive: the file stays in account storage until the owner removes it
Check how the file moves and where it is stored
A file-size limit does not explain the whole service. Check whether the file is sent live, uploaded first, kept after delivery, or stored in an account. These choices affect privacy and whether the sender must stay online.
There is no single speed winner. Speed depends on both devices, both internet connections, local Wi-Fi, storage speed, and the route between the devices.
What to check in live device transfer tools
PairDrop, ToffeeShare, FilePizza, and similar tools also send files live between devices through browsers. Compare how devices pair, whether a relay server may carry the file, how folders are handled, and whether an interrupted transfer can recover.
AllFileGo uses a room or private link, sender approval, a matching security code, a direct file connection, progress confirmed by the receiver, and a final file check.
Check current limits before you send
File limits and storage periods can change. Use the review date and source links in the table to confirm the latest details before an important transfer.
