Send and share large files from servers in the Netherlands. vBoxxCloud offers GDPR-compliant file transfers of up to 250 GB, with password protection and direct support from our team.
WeTransfer has long been a popular tool for sending large files, but a recent update to its terms of service caused many users, particularly businesses, to reconsider.
In July 2025, the company introduced a clause allowing uploaded files to be used for training AI models. Following widespread criticism, WeTransfer quickly withdrew the clause, but the incident damaged user trust.
As a result, many companies are now seeking transparent, GDPR-compliant alternatives with servers located entirely within the EU.
When comparing file transfer services, look at where your data is hosted, how it is protected and who helps you when you have a question.
