Overview
SwissTransfer sends files of up to 50 GB per transfer, free of charge and without an account for sender or recipient. Transfers can be shared by link or email and protected with a password, a download limit and an expiry of 1 to 30 days, after which files are deleted. Senders verify their email address once per device, and free transfers allow up to 250 downloads.
Paid offers (marketed as SwissTransfer Pro and included with kSuite plans) add a transfer history, branded download pages, unlimited downloads and, on the Enterprise plan, availability of up to 60 days. Files are encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest (LUKS, AES-256) but not end-to-end, and Infomaniak states they are stored only in its own data centres in Switzerland. Mobile apps are available for iOS and Android.

Foreign products with overlapping functionality. An alternative is not necessarily a one-to-one replacement.
Swiss footprint
Five independent questions. A Swiss company is not automatically Swiss-hosted — and vice versa. How the footprint is assessed

- HeadquartersIs the operating company headquartered in Switzerland?
- Geneva, Geneva (GE), SwitzerlandVerified[1]
- Legal jurisdiction
- OwnershipIs the company ultimately Swiss-owned?
- Yes — Infomaniak SA (controlled by the Infomaniak Foundation) · SwitzerlandVendor claim[3]
In May 2026 founder Boris Siegenthaler transferred the majority of voting rights to the Infomaniak Foundation, a Swiss public-interest foundation. In September 2026 the SIX-listed Perrot Duval Holding SA acquired 100% of Infomaniak Group SA in a reverse takeover and was renamed Infomaniak SA (ticker INFO, trading since 1 October 2026). The Foundation holds all unlisted, non-transferable Class A shares and the majority of voting rights; the listed Class B shares carry a minority of votes. The founder and about 30 employees also hold shares. Infomaniak Network SA is the group's operating company and contracting entity; its place under Infomaniak Group SA is inferred from the shared address, management and group references rather than stated explicitly in the sources consulted.
