Our verdict on FileDuck

FileDuck is a browser-based and desktop file-transfer service for editors, colourists, VFX artists, media teams, and others who need to send large files or folders. Transfers move directly between sender and recipient devices rather than being stored on a FileDuck transfer server. Senders can create shareable download links, and recipients can receive files in a browser without installing the desktop app. Resume support helps when a transfer is interrupted, making the service a fit for straightforward file delivery rather than broader collaboration workflows.

The plan choice turns on transfer volume and file size. Free includes a 10GB transfer allowance, browser-based sending, and requires no card. Pro Monthly costs $12 per month and adds unlimited transfers, no file-size limits, and FileDuck Desktop. Pro Yearly costs $120 per year and includes everything in Pro Monthly, with two months free; Desktop is included on both Pro plans. The published plans make Free a reasonable starting point for occasional transfers, while frequent large-file senders will need Pro. Choose annual billing if the two-month saving suits your commitment; otherwise, monthly billing keeps the choice flexible.

Its direct-transfer approach, resumability, and desktop app are the main reasons to consider FileDuck. Desktop supports direct-to-disk receiving and large, folder-heavy jobs, while web recipients avoid an installation step. The service is available on web, Windows, macOS, and Linux, with email support. It is deliberately focused: buyers seeking an official API, download tracking, custom branding, or broader sharing controls should look elsewhere. FileDuck suits teams that value direct delivery over those management features; it is less suitable when oversight of shared links is central to the workflow.
