How to send large files ?
Methods to send large files (WeTransfer, email, cloud), their limits, environmental impact, security, and why FileVert is a French alternative that meets your needs.
Context
Sending large files shouldn't cost the planet so much. Every online transfer mobilizes servers, bandwidth and unnecessary storage, often hosted on the other side of the world. Behind a simple gesture lies a heavy energy footprint. FileVert offers a sober alternative: ephemeral transfers, hosted in Europe, powered 100% by renewable energies. Performance without compromise: speed, confidentiality and digital lightness coexist.

Environmental impact
Send large files while reducing your footprint
Every file transfer has an environmental impact. Discover how FileVert reduces this impact through temporary storage and 100% renewable French hosting.
The negative impact of permanent storage
Traditional cloud solutions store your files indefinitely, consuming energy continuously even when you no longer access them.
- Permanent storage = continuous energy consumption
- Multiple versions = multiplied footprint
- Foreign hosting = less virtuous energy mix
