How to send big files

How it works

GrosFichiers is a free service for businesses and individuals to send at once up to 10 GB files to one or several recipients through a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari.

GrosFichiers acts as intermediary between the sender and recipients. Each recipient receive by email a link to download the files, which are stored on our servers until then.
