Your own pace.
Once a file finishes uploading, you can close your laptop. They can download later, before it expires.
Drag files to another computer. Send them to a friend.
Or put everything in one share link. From your Mac menu bar or PC system tray.
Pick a file. You already know how to do this.
Illustration of the Mac app with three computer boxes and Public links in the fourth spot. A file moves from Finder to MacBook Pro, uploads in its list, and shows a success message. No files are read or uploaded by this website.
Keep your favorite computers in a small ribbon. Drop a file straight onto the right one. No switching apps. No hunting for a chat.
Make it smaller. Move it out of the way. Or go vertical.
Your next handoff is one small movement away.
A Finder file is dragged into Alex’s Mac in the compact ribbon. Its destination highlights, upload progress stays in the ribbon, and a success message appears. Expand, lock, settings, close, and the outside move grip match the app.
Upload once, then carry on. On the other computer, files wait for a download.
Clipboard items wait for a click on Copy. Nothing pastes itself.
One document. One copied thought. Send both.
Side-by-side examples of Filelane’s expanded computer view. The sender sees upload progress. The receiver then sees Awaiting download and Ready to copy, clicks Download, and separately clicks Copy. This animation never accesses your clipboard.
Prefer files to save themselves? Enable auto-download for your own computers, or individually for a connected guest.
Keep working in your window. Start dragging a file, and Filelane’s ribbon appears. Drop it onto your other computer. Once it’s sent, the ribbon slips away.
On Mac, choose While dragging files in Display settings.
Your window stays open. The ribbon stays out of the way.
A Finder window sits in front of an open project note. The ribbon is initially hidden. Dragging Project notes.pdf reveals a compact ribbon containing one computer, MacBook Pro, alongside Public links. Its computer target highlights, the file uploads, a success message appears, and the ribbon hides. This website does not read or send your files.
Connect with the people you work with often. The next draft, the latest photos, the final files—just drop them onto their computer. Your favorites stay close, and the rest are one click away.
Sending a batch to a few people? Drop it into Send to several, choose their computers, and send it to everyone in one go.
Your favorite computers, ready for the next handoff.
The same Filelane window expands to show additional connected computers. Three example files move into Send to several. Checkmarks identify three selected recipients, then Send starts their transfers. The animation ends with a success message. These are illustrations; this website does not read or send your files.
Each person uses their own Filelane account. Connect once, then keep the next handoff simple.
Drop files into the Public links box. Copy the link. Send it however you like. They open it in a browser and download what they need.
Keep several links going at once. Each handoff gets its own bundle.
Start your first handoffOnce a file finishes uploading, you can close your laptop. They can download later, before it expires.
Pick where files land. Give each computer its own download preference and folder if you like.
Pending files stay in sight. Completed transfers move into full history, with recent ones kept close by.
For sharing directly to a connected computer, yes. For a share link, no: put files into Public links, copy the link, and send it to them. They download through their browser without creating an account.
Install Filelane on each supported computer and sign in with the same account and sign-in method. Give each computer a recognizable name. They appear in each other’s lists, ready to share. Free includes two of your own computers; Pro includes ten.
Choose Add computer → Connect a person in the app and create an invitation. Send them the private invitation link and its separate access code. They use their own Filelane account to accept. Compare and confirm the verification fingerprint together; then each computer appears in the other person’s list. Only the computer each of you connected is shared.
Yes. Once connected, their computer stays in your list for future handoffs. Keep frequent collaborators among your favorites, and use More computers for the rest. There’s no need to create a new public link every time you send them a file.
Yes. Drop the files into Send to several, select the connected computers you want, then click Send. Each selected computer gets its own copies. If someone isn’t connected, use Public links to make one bundle you can share with a few people.
You need to stay connected until the upload finishes. After that, the recipient can come online and download before the transfer expires. Your laptop can be closed.
Files, folders, and clipboard text or images. Clipboard items appear in the recipient’s list and only replace their clipboard when they click Copy. You can also bundle multiple files into one public link.
You choose. Set your download folder and auto-download preference in Settings, then override them for individual computers when needed. Guest connections start with manual downloads; enable automatic saving for a specific guest only if you want it. Clipboard items always wait for a click on Copy.
On Mac, choose While dragging files in Display settings. The ribbon appears when a file drag begins and tucks away afterward. You can also keep the ribbon visible, resize it, or place a floating horizontal or vertical ribbon where it suits you.
New file transfers and public links are available for three days on Free and thirty days on Pro, starting when the upload completes. Clipboard items expire after one hour on either plan. Files you’ve already saved to your computer stay there.
They appear in full history right away and stay in the computer’s recent list for two minutes. Items awaiting download stay easy to find while they’re available. Open history to see earlier transfers and download another copy of a file that’s still in cloud storage.
1 GB of shared cloud space and two of your own computers. Guest connections don’t use those computer slots. There’s no monthly transfer-count limit—keep sharing within your available space. Free public links allow five download sessions each. Compare Free and Pro.
Yes. My cloud shows one storage allowance for your account, rather than a separate allowance for every computer. Encrypted uploads and their metadata use that space; sending separate transfers to multiple recipients also uses your allowance. Expired transfers are cleaned up to make room for new ones.
Yes. The Windows beta is available for Windows 10 and 11 on 64-bit Intel and AMD PCs. It lives in your system tray, with an optional ribbon and screen-edge handle for quick drops. The beta installer is unsigned while publisher verification is pending, so Windows may warn or block installation. Get it from the download page.
