Getting Started

Go to the homepage, drag and drop your files (or click to browse), add recipient emails, set a price if you want, and hit Send. Your recipients will get a secure download link by email.

Yes! The Basic plan lets you send files up to 5 GB with all core features. Starter and Pro unlock larger file sizes, longer expiry dates, and lower platform fees.

You'll need to verify your email to send files — we use a passwordless OTP system, so there's no password to remember. Just enter your email, confirm the code, and you're in.

Transfers & Downloads

Recipients receive an email with a secure link. If the transfer has a price, they pay first, then download. If it's free, they download directly. They can also preview watermarked versions before paying.

Yes. When creating a transfer, toggle on password protection and set your password. Recipients will need it to access the download page.

Expired transfers are no longer accessible. Recipients will see a message saying the link has expired. You can set expiry dates from 1 day to 90 days depending on your plan.

Payments

When a recipient pays for your transfer, the amount (minus the platform fee) is credited to your ZeFile wallet. You can withdraw to your bank account or Mobile Money at any time.

Mobile Money (MTN, Orange, Wave, Airtel), bank transfers, USSD, and cards (Visa, Mastercard). Your clients pay the way they already do — no credit card required.

It depends on your plan: on Basic you keep 93%, on Starter you keep 95%, on Pro you keep 97% of each paid transfer. The rate is set when you create the transfer — upgrading later gives you the better rate on new transfers, but doesn't change old ones.

Security & Privacy

Yes. Files are encrypted in transit using TLS and stored on secure cloud infrastructure. We never share your files with anyone other than your designated recipients.

Yes. You can cancel or delete any transfer from your dashboard. The files will be removed from our servers.
