Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Filemail
Send a file of any size, from six dollars
Filemail moves large files without asking either end to install anything, which is the entire job when the person receiving your footage is a client rather than a colleague. Transfers can be tracked, password protected and set to expire, and the free tier handles up to five gigabytes without an account. The paid plans are about how long files live and how large they get. There is no collaboration layer here, and that is deliberate.
Our note
Six dollars is the right price for this problem and most of the alternatives charge more for the same thing wrapped in collaboration features. Check the retention period against your client's habits, because the cheapest plan expiring a link before somebody opens it costs you a re-send and a conversation.
Sync.com
Encrypted storage where only you hold the key
Sync encrypts everything before it leaves the machine, so the company cannot read what you store even if it wanted to. For a creator holding unreleased footage or a client's raw files, that is the difference between a policy and a guarantee. End-to-end encryption also means a forgotten password loses the data, with nobody able to reset it for you.
