Real-world use · runs on your own hosting
Self-hosted WeTransfer alternative without a monthly subscription
When is a small self-hosted delivery tool enough instead of a large transfer platform?
The point
Send files with expiry dates and download limits
Businesses delivering files to individual contacts often need neither user tiers nor permanent cloud storage. SecureSend provides the core workflow as a clear PHP application for a one-time price.
A good fit when…
This tool fits if…
- You already operate PHP hosting and HTTPS.
- You make focused transfers rather than mass distribution.
- You want to control expiry and download count.
- You prefer source code and your own server control.
How it works
one controlled download link instead of unprotected attachments and permanently open cloud shares.
Deliver files from your own PHP server through protected download links with optional passwords, expiry dates and maximum download counts.
- Install: Upload the PHP application to your HTTPS hosting and run the guided setup.
- Configure: Set your company name, branding and the options needed for this workflow.
- Use: Share the generated link and keep the result in your own installation.
What it does not replace
SecureSend handles this one job.
So you know what to expect before you buy:
- You want to start without your own hosting.
- You require automatic end-to-end encryption.
- You need global CDN delivery for large media files.
