Send Files Securely Using QuickSend

Using QuickSend, you can send files securely to anyone using app.filot.io and the Filot desktop app. QuickSends are helpful if you need to quickly send a file to one or multiple people.

Note: The ability to QuickSend is only available to paid/licensed users of Filot. Unlicensed users like clients and business partners can send files to licensed users using Hubs. Learn more about sending files using Hubs.

There is no attachment size limit for files or folders sent using Filot, other than your organization’s total storage package. (i.e. if your organization has 300GB of storage, you cannot send a 310GB file).

You can also compress your file to reduce its size, and then send it using Filot. We recommend downloading the Filot desktop app on your computer. Download the latest version here.
