Smash for Web

Fast, simple file sharing

Sharing files—whether work documents, photos, music or PDFs—is something we do constantly, and email attachments often aren’t enough. Smash is a free, no-fuss service that helps you send large files to friends or coworkers quickly, with a few pleasant extras to make the process smoother.

What you do and what happens

• Drop a file onto Smash’s webpage and the service creates a download link you can send to someone.
• The person you share with can look through certain files in their browser before choosing to download.
• Files you upload are available for a limited time (seven days) before they’re removed.
• The web interface is deliberately bold and simple—a large red background dominates the screen.

Reasons to choose it

• There’s no requirement to sign up, and you won’t see any advertising while using the site.
• Smash imposes no strict file-size cap, so you can transfer very large items.
• You can use it from a phone or tablet as well as a desktop computer.
• While your upload finishes, the site may surface artwork or visual content to browse.

Things to keep in mind

Smash is straightforward and fast, but it’s relatively minimal. Users who prefer more guidance or a feature-packed dashboard might find it too sparse. Also, although it offers many conveniences, there are several established alternatives you may already be using.

Bottom line

If your goal is a quick, registration-free way to send big files and let recipients preview them in the browser, Smash is an attractive, easy choice.
