Questions before you send

Do I have to stop using Dropbox to use SentIt?

No. Dropbox remains your storage provider. Connect it to SentIt, select the files for a delivery and combine them with other sources. Continued Dropbox access is needed to download connected files.

Will your delivery fit?

Files from your computer
1 GB per file and 1 GB storage on Free. 5 GB per file and 50 GB storage on Premium.
Files in Dropbox or Drive
Stay with their provider and use none of your SentIt upload storage. The upload size caps above do not apply; each download must fit your remaining daily allowance.
Daily download allowance
100 GB daily on Free; 2 TB on Premium shared across deliveries. Downloads of connected files, full-file previews and files read to create ZIPs count toward this allowance.
Files and ZIPs
A delivery holds up to 100 files. Download all creates a ZIP for packages up to 4 GB, subject to the daily ZIP allowance. Download larger packages file by file. ZIP downloads also count toward your transfer allowance.

For example, one complete download of a 10 GB connected file uses 10 GB of your daily allowance. Full-file previews and ZIP creation also count.

Free links last up to 7 days. Premium defaults to 30 days and can use a future date or no scheduled expiry. Keep uploaded files in your account and connected files accessible at their provider.

Anyone with the link can access the files until it expires or you remove access. No passwords or recipient authentication.

Upload and download request limits

You can upload 2 GB from your computer per day on Free or 50 GB on Premium, within your storage allowance. Free allows 25 download requests per file per UTC day. Premium has no daily per-file cap, subject to fair use. Daily allowances reset at midnight UTC.
