Three steps
to get paid
The flow, step by step
Upload your files
Drag and drop anything —photos, videos, audio, documents, archives. Up to 50 GB per transfer. Set your price (or keep it free), add up to 10 recipient emails, choose an expiry date, and add a password if you want.
They preview, you stay protected
Your recipients get a secure link by email. They can browse watermarked previews of every file before paying — with Mobile Money, card, or bank transfer. Originals stay locked. Your work, your terms.
Payment in, files out
Card, Mobile Money, or bank transfer —once they pay, the download unlocks. 85% of freelancers deal with late payments. With ZeFile, that's not your story anymore. No invoicing. No chasing.

Got questions? We've got answers
Yes! The Basic plan lets you send up to 5 GB per transfer. Starter and Pro plans unlock higher limits and lower platform fees.
Pretty much anything —images, videos, audio, documents, archives. We generate watermarked previews automatically for most file types.
Recipients can preview your files with watermarks, but originals stay locked. The download only unlocks after payment is confirmed.
Visa, Mastercard, Mobile Money (MTN, Airtel, Orange), and bank transfers. All payments are processed securely.
Up to 5 GB on the Basic plan, 20 GB on Starter, and 50 GB on Pro. Files are uploaded in chunks so even large transfers are reliable.
Nope. They just need the link and their email. We verify access with a quick one-time code —no account needed.
After the expiry date, the download link stops working. You can set expiry from 1 to 90 days when creating a transfer.
Files are encrypted in transit, stored on secure cloud infrastructure, and served through our CDN. We never access your files.
Your files are locked until the payment clears. Clients can preview everything with watermarks, but they can't download the originals without paying. The moment they pay, the download unlocks automatically. No back-and-forth, no invoicing, no chasing.
71% of consumers have ended relationships due to poor service experiences. A file sharing link or cloud folder gets the job done, but it doesn't present your work professionally. ZeFile gives your clients a branded preview gallery with watermarks, which makes you look like the pro you are — and keeps them coming back.
Tired of chasing? Let's fix that.
No subscription needed to start. Files stay locked until you're paid. That's the deal.
