A single share on shareit.onl holds up to 100 files, as long as the whole batch stays at or under 3 GB. That covers a whole event's worth of photos, a project's worth of documents, or a mix of everything. It's free, needs no account, and every file arrives exactly as you sent it.
Think of one share as one neat bundle. You drop in your files, get a short link and a QR code, and send them off together. The person on the other end opens one link and grabs everything at once.
Tip: Group related files into a single share so your recipient opens just one link for everything. If you go over 100 files or 3 GB, zip files together or split them across a couple of shares.
The two limits that matter
There are really just two numbers to keep in mind.
| Limit | Value | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| File count | 100 files | Each share |
| Total size | 3 GB | Each share |
Both apply to the same share at the same time. So you could send 100 photos that add up to 500 MB, or 2 video files that add up to 3 GB. Whichever limit you hit first is the one that stops you.
What to do when you have more than 100 files
Have a huge folder or a long list of files? You've got two easy paths.
Zip them into one file
Zipping bundles many files into a single archive. Five hundred photos become one .zip, which counts as one file toward your limit. This is the cleanest way to send a very large collection at once, and it keeps folder names and structure intact. Our guide on how to send a folder or zip online shows how on Windows, Mac, and phones.
Zipping often shrinks the total too, which helps with the size cap. If you're close to it, see how to compress files before sharing.
Split into batches
If a zip would still be too large, break your files into a few smaller shares. Send batch one, then batch two. Each gets its own link and QR code, so nothing gets mixed up.
Planning a clean batch
A little planning keeps every share tidy. Run through this before you upload:
The default expiry is 24 hours, and it renews on every download. Each time someone opens your share, the clock resets for another 24 hours. So an active batch stays alive as long as people keep using it, then clears out on its own once things go quiet.
Sending different file types together
You don't have to keep files of one kind in a share. Photos, PDFs, spreadsheets, audio, and video can all ride in the same batch. Every file is delivered byte-for-byte, unchanged, with no compression or conversion from us. Curious what's allowed? Almost everything, as covered in what file types can I share.
For privacy, you can also turn on delete-after-first-download. The share erases itself the moment the first person grabs it, which is handy for one-time handoffs.
