Strict security meets excellent efficiency
How you benefit from netfiles Send
Send files straight from netfiles Send or via link
netfiles Send makes a secure download link available to let you send files and folders. You can thus dispatch materials straight from netfiles Send or via an application of your choice – as an e-mail or via a messenger service, for example.
Receive files
To receive files and folders, netfiles Send lets you set up a secure upload link via which you can request exactly the data you want. There are several advantages: E-mail inboxes are less congested, virus scanning is automated, and files always land straight in your personal netfiles data inbox.
Address book
An integrated address book helps you fill out the contact data, just as you would in your familiar e-mail program. Contacts can be created and edited in the address book or simply imported – all of which supports secure data transfer straight from netfiles Send.
Simple uploads
Uploading files and folders to netfiles Send is as simple as attaching a file to an e-mail. Either choose the file(s) and folder(s) you want in your regular file system or drag and drop them onto the netfiles Send user interface. The next step? Send the files. That’s it.
Security and control
Link expiry deadlines, confirmation of receipt, e-mail verification, TAN codes, passwords, you name it: Multiple options make it easy to customize the security level for your data transfer activities, keeping you constantly in control of transferred data at all times.
Virus scanning
Files and folders sent from or received by netfiles Send are automatically scanned for malware. You and your recipients can thus always trust the security and integrity of the data provided.
Our certifications
Guaranteed security – Made and hosted in Germany from start to finish
Unlike other filesharing providers, netfiles Send meets the highest security standards. Before data is sent, optional security features such as passwords or TANs can be activated. All data is stored at ISO/IEC 27001-certified data centers in Germany. And all data is always AES-256-encrypted during transmission.
netfiles is headquartered and domiciled in Germany, where all its development and hosting activities also take place. It is therefore fully compliant with the EU’s GDPR regulation and supports you in implementing a sovereign data strategy.
Receiving files
Digital mailbox
netfiles Send lets you both send and receive files and folders. To receive data, simply send an upload link to external individuals to request files directly.
There are many benefits to having a digital mailbox: Your regular e-mail inbox remains uncluttered. All incoming mail is scanned automatically for malware. And files always land straight in your personal netfiles data inbox.
Sending folders
No more zip files!
Using zip files to send data is neither efficient nor secure. On the contrary, it adds extra work steps, leads to versioning conflicts and is prone to errors: All too often, zip archives turn out to be damaged or incomplete. They are also regarded as a security risk, because archives can be tampered with, blocked and/or difficult to validate. Malware also often hides itself away in zip archives. In contrast, direct filesharing with netfiles Send is a simple, fast and reliable alternative.
Data protection compliance “made in Germany” from start to finish
The secure alternative to WeTransfer, Dropbox and other filesharing services
Thanks to development, hosting activities and headquarters in Germany, netfiles Send is the professional solution for fast, secure file transfer with full data protection compliance. As a business filesharing service, we guarantee that the transmission of files and folders is covered seamlessly from end to end by SSL encryption – and that your data is always stored with AES-256 encryption at ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 22301-certified data centers.

At the same time, netfiles Send supports companies in implementing a sovereign data strategy, with a raft of access protection and control functions. You can rest assured that your data is reliably protected against unauthorized access by foreign government agency and is beyond the influence of laws such as the US CLOUD Act. That is important, because data sovereignty is today a core factor in compliance and competitiveness.

WeTransfer
Dropbox and Dropbox DocSend
Microsoft OneDrive
Google Drive
TransferNow
Box
Tresorit Send
SendAnywhere
MEGA
GoAnywhere
…to name but a few!

Yes, netfiles Send meets the requirements of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for secure and confidential data exchange. Thanks to the use of managed file transfer (MFT), netfiles Send transmits data in encrypted form, provides robust access protection and enables every download to be reconstructed in full. In this way, key GDPR requirements such as confidentiality, integrity, the principle of specified purpose and technical/organizational measures are met reliably and consistently.
All data transmitted by netfiles and/or stored at its ISO-certified data centers in Germany is always AES-256-encrypted. This practice complies with the EU's strict data protection regulations (GDPR), while guarding data from the influence of and access by foreign government agencies or laws (such as the US CLOUD Act).
netfiles is certified in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO 22301:2019. C5 compliance pursuant to Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and compliance with the internationally recognized System and Organization Controls (SOC 2) standard have also been independently audited. netfiles Send thus meets the strictest requirements regarding security, data protection, compliance and data sovereignty.
Yes, netfiles Send is a filesharing service. Filesharing means sharing files between two or more parties, usually ad hoc (i.e. at short notice) and with a small group of recipients. netfiles Send enables files and folders to be shared securely in a professional context, with full compliance and in line with data protection laws – in a teamwork setting, for project communication, for customer communication or for data transfer between trusted partners. In addition, it facilitates the secure and efficient transfer of especially large or sensitive files. To this end, netfiles Send uses managed file transfer (MFT) technology.
MFT is a specialized solution for the automated, secure and transparent exchange of mission-critical data. By using established protocols such as SFTP, FTPS and HTTPS, it makes data transfer consistent, audit-proof and fully compliant. While the main benefits of filesharing in general are flexibility and ease of use, MFT adds clear guidelines and maximizes security. Companies use MFT above all in contexts where the confidentiality and security of transferred data must be guaranteed.
For these reasons, it is important to distinguish between netfiles Send – a certified and legally compliant service for secure business filesharing and professional data transfer – and other, unsafe applications.
No, netfiles Send is not an e-mail program. It provides a secure, data protection-compliant business filesharing service. To do so, netfiles Send uses managed file transfer (MFT) as its technical basis and is a useful complement to e-mail programs. Via upload or download links, you can use netfiles Send to share files securely via e-mail without first having to store them in your e-mail inbox.
That is important, because e-mail attachments quickly run into constraints: There are size limits, they cannot be tracked and traced, and they often fail to meet companies' own compliance specifications. In other words, netfiles Send makes sense whenever large files and/or sensitive files need to be sent – including clearly defined rights and access management. Files are released for sending via an e-mail address: The recipient then receives an e-mail containing the link that is needed to access the data.
Virtual data rooms (or VDRs; see "What is a data room?") such as netfiles Data Room are used in various contexts to transfer data securely between different locations and different companies. They have also proven their value for efficient collaboration with customers, business partners, in project teams and when working from home. For long-term and structured collaboration, virtual data rooms are the best option. In the context of spontaneous or ad-hoc data transfers or for the one-time transmission of data (or transfer for a limited time only), an MFT-based filesharing solution such as netfiles Send is the better alternative.
Conversely, there is no difference in terms of the security provided. For the transmission and storage of files, but also for the assignment of access rights, both netfiles Send and netfiles Data Room meet far higher security standards than cloud storage providers such as Dropbox and link-sharing providers such as WeTransfer.
