Frequently asked
Is TransferNow more private than WeTransfer?
On paper, yes. EU residency, GDPR alignment, and no public AI-training claim. quik.space matches on the AI commitment but stores data in the US.
Why is TransferNow's free tier so much bigger?
Their free tier is funded by upsells to Premium plans and by visible branding. quik.space caps free at 100 MB so the free tier stays sustainable without ads.
Can I get GDPR alignment on quik.space?
quik.space is operated under US law with Supabase as the data processor. We honor GDPR data-subject requests, but the data does not sit in the EU. If EU residency is a hard requirement, TransferNow or SwissTransfer fit better.
Does quik.space support branded download pages?
Not currently. TransferNow Premium and Pro offer custom download pages and branding. quik.space has a single neutral download surface.
