Built for Video Professionals
Introduction
Video files are massive. A 10-minute 4K video at 60fps can easily reach 15-20 GB. Add multiple takes, B-roll footage, or an entire project timeline with high-bitrate codecs like ProRes or DNxHD, and you're looking at 30-50 GB files—or even larger.
Email attachments max out at 25 MB. Cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox require recipients to have accounts, navigate folder structures, and deal with previews that fail on large files. WeTransfer Free caps at 2 GB, forcing you to split files or pay for a subscription. None of these solutions are built for video professionals.
OneShare is different. Our free file transfer lets you send video files up to 2 GB for free, or up to 2 TB with volume packs—without subscriptions, without compression, and without forcing recipients to create accounts. Upload your file, and share a simple download link.
Why Video Files Need Specialized Transfer Solutions
File Size Challenges
Video production generates enormous files. Here's what video professionals deal with:
- 4K H.264/H.265 footage: 1-3 GB per minute of final export
- ProRes 422 HQ (4K): 6-8 GB per minute
- RAW cinema camera footage: 10-30 GB per minute
- Multi-track project files (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve): Often 20-100 GB with media
Traditional file transfer services weren't designed for these sizes. They either block uploads, force compression (destroying quality), or charge enterprise pricing for features video editors don't need.
Quality Preservation
When you export a video at your intended quality—whether that's ProRes for mastering, H.264 at high bitrate for client review, or DNxHD for broadcast—you expect the recipient to receive the exact file you sent. No re-encoding. No compression. No quality loss.
Many file transfer services automatically compress videos to "save bandwidth" or "speed up transfers." This is unacceptable for professional work. Color grading gets degraded. Fine details are lost. Audio sync can drift. Clients receive files that don't match your quality standards.
OneShare never touches your files. No processing, no re-encoding, no optimization. We transfer files bit-for-bit exactly as you upload them. What you send is what they download.
Perfect Use Cases for Large Video Transfers
Video Editors Delivering Client Projects
You've spent days editing, color grading, and perfecting a video project. Now you need to deliver the final cut to your client as a high-quality ProRes or H.264 file. Email is out of the question. Cloud storage requires your client to navigate folders. With OneShare, upload once, send a simple link, and the client downloads the exact file you exported.
Production Teams Sharing Raw Footage
Dailies and raw footage need to reach editors, directors, and producers quickly. Shipping hard drives takes days and costs money. Cloud sync solutions are slow and require everyone to use the same platform. OneShare lets you upload footage at the end of the day and share download links immediately—no waiting, no accounts.
Content Creators Delivering Sponsored Content
Brands and sponsors need high-quality video deliverables, often with specific codec and resolution requirements. Sending a 4K 60fps video at 20 GB via OneShare ensures the brand receives exactly what they requested, with no quality compromises or file compatibility issues.
Filmmakers Sharing Screeners and Festival Submissions
Film festivals and screening committees need high-resolution screeners. Uploading a feature-length film (10-20 GB) with our password protection ensures only intended reviewers can access the content before public release.
Common Video Transfer Challenges (And How OneShare Solves Them)
Challenge: File Size Limits
Problem: Most services cap uploads at 2-5 GB, forcing you to split files or compress quality.
OneShare Solution: Free up to 2 GB, or use volume pack credits for transfers of any size. No splitting. No compression.
Challenge: Subscription Costs
Problem: Premium plans cost €10-15/month even when you only send files occasionally.
OneShare Solution: Volume packs: Starter 100 GB (€5.99), Creator 500 GB (€14.99), Studio 2 TB (€35.99). Credits valid 1 year, unlimited transfers. If you send 5 large videos per month, a Creator pack at €14.99 covers months of deliveries vs €276/year for WeTransfer Ultimate.
Challenge: Recipient Friction
Problem: Services requiring recipients to create accounts, install apps, or navigate cloud folders.
OneShare Solution: Recipients get a simple download link. No accounts, no apps, no friction. Click and download.
Challenge: Upload Reliability
Problem: Uploads fail midway through large files, forcing you to restart from scratch.
OneShare Solution: Resumable uploads mean you can pause and continue if your connection drops or you need to close your laptop.
