How GoodSend Works

Sending Files

  1. Upload your files: Drag and drop up to 20 files (maximum 10GB combined) or click to select files from your device.
  2. Enter recipient details: Add the name and email address of your recipient.
  3. Complete the transfer: Click send, and your recipient will receive a secure download link.
  4. Track your send: Monitor when your email is delivered, opened, and when files are downloaded.

Purchasing Credits

  1. Visit https://goodsign.io/goodsend
  2. Select "Purchase Credits"
  3. Choose your credit package (minimum purchase: 10 credits)
  4. Complete payment through our secure Stripe payment portal
  5. Start sending files immediately

Each file send uses 1 credit ($1.50), regardless of the number of files (up to 20) or size (up to 10GB).

Why Choose GoodSend Over WeTransfer?

Cost-Effectiveness

Unlike WeTransfer Pro's subscription model, GoodSend operates on a pay-as-you-go basis. This makes it ideal for:

  • Freelancers who only occasionally need to send large files
  • Small businesses with irregular file transfer needs
  • Professionals who don't want to commit to a monthly subscription

Enhanced Security

GoodSend prioritizes security with:

  • End-to-end encryption
  • Secure download links
  • Automatic file expiration after 7 days
  • No public file sharing options that could compromise sensitive data

Comprehensive Tracking

While WeTransfer's free version offers limited tracking, GoodSend provides detailed insights:

  • Confirmation when emails are delivered
  • Notification when recipients open your email
  • Alerts when files are downloaded
  • Complete audit trail for your records

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Recipient Can't Access Files

  1. Check if the 7-day download period has expired
  2. Verify that the email address was entered correctly
  3. Ask the recipient to check their spam folder
  4. Resend the files if necessary (uses an additional credit)

Files Too Large to Upload

If your files exceed the 10GB combined limit:

  1. Compress the files using ZIP or RAR format
  2. Split your send into multiple transfers
  3. Consider removing unnecessary files to reduce size

Payment Issues

If you encounter problems purchasing credits:

  1. Ensure your credit card details are entered correctly
  2. Check that your card isn't blocked for online purchases
  3. Try a different payment method if available
  4. Contact your bank if the issue persists

Quick Tips

  • Save on credits: Bundle multiple files in a single send rather than sending them separately
  • Track important sends: Use the tracking feature to follow up with recipients who haven't downloaded your files
  • Prepare recipients: Let your recipients know to expect a file from GoodSend to prevent confusion
  • Optimal timing: Files expire after 7 days, so time your sends when recipients will be available
  • Mobile friendly: GoodSend works perfectly on mobile devices for sending and receiving files on the go
  • Purchase credits in bulk: Buy more credits at once to have them ready when you need them
