## Frequently asked questions

How long does a file transfer take?

Once you [create a Transfer](/content/transfer/index.html), your recipients can download it immediately. Your speedy file transfer will create a [shared link](/content/features/share/link-sharing/index.html) or email that you can send to anyone to collect the file transfer.

How do I password-protect file transfers?

You can [password-protect file transfers](/content/features/security/personal/index.html), so whoever receives the transfer must enter a password to collect their files. When you create your file transfer in [Dropbox Transfer](/content/transfer/index.html), you’ll have the option to add, edit, or remove a password before you complete the process.

How do I set a link expiration date?

By default, transfers automatically expire after 7 days. It is possible to set a longer expiry date with different plans. [Dropbox Professional](/content/overview/professionals/index.html) and [Advanced users](/content/business/index.html) can set an expiry date of up to 90 days, with the ability to extend that up to one year while the link is still ‘live’. Expired transfers are only visible to the sender, and are no longer accessible to anyone with the link.

Can I share files without a Dropbox account?

No, to share files using Dropbox Transfer you need to have a Dropbox account. Any Dropbox user—even people with our free [Dropbox Basic plan](/content/basic/index.html)—can create file transfers. The recipient of the file transfer doesn’t need a Dropbox account to receive their files, however.

Can I send file transfers for free?

Yes, you can send file transfers for free with Dropbox Transfer. Any Dropbox user can make file transfers, but the file size limit will depend on your [Dropbox plan](/content/plans/index.html). Recipients don’t need a Dropbox account to get their files.

Can I transfer big files with my iPhone or Android device?

Yes, you can either use the Dropbox mobile app (available for iOS and Android devices) to send files, or use Dropbox Transfer from your mobile browser to send files to any device.

Can I transfer files from Mac to PC?

Yes, the Dropbox app is available across operating systems. You can transfer files from Apple Computers to Microsoft Windows and Linux PCs. You can also upload files from your web browser to generate a link or email to send to anyone.

What file types can I send?
