How do I send lots of files at once?

2 min read · Updated 2026-11-13

Short answer

Add as many files as you like to one transfer by selecting them all, dropping a folder or using "Add more". Pandafile uploads them one after another and gives you a single link, and recipients can download everything as one ZIP.

There is no need to send files one by one. A single Pandafile transfer can hold hundreds of files, and your recipient gets them all from one link.

Get all your files into one transfer

  1. Go to pandafile.co.
  2. Select all the files you want in your folder window (Ctrl+A on Windows, Cmd+A on Mac) and drag them into the box, or click "Choose files" and select them there.
  3. Files in another folder? Click "Add more" and pick them too. You can also drop a whole folder.
  4. Check the summary at the top of the list, which shows the number of files and the total size.
  5. Choose "Get a link" or "Send by email" and press Send.

Watching the progress

Pandafile uploads your files one after another. The top of the screen shows how much has been sent in total, the current speed and roughly how long is left. Each file has its own bamboo progress bar, so you can see which ones are done.

How your recipient downloads them

Your recipient sees the full list on the download page. They can pick out single files, or press "Download all" to get everything as one ZIP file. If you sent folders, the folder structure is kept inside the ZIP.

Handy tips

  • The size limit is for the whole transfer, not each file: up to 10 GB a week on the free plan, up to 250 GB per transfer with Plus, or up to 1 TB with Pro.
  • Thousands of tiny files upload a little slower than one big file of the same size. Zipping them first can help, but it isn't required.
  • Give the transfer a title, such as "Shoot 14 May, all RAW files", so it's easy to recognise in emails and on the download page.
  • Use "Remove" to take out anything you added by mistake before you press Send.
