This is the only tool that sends your file off your Mac.
Every other tool in Ricly works on-device. Sharing cannot, so here is exactly what happens instead of a promise.
That one file. Nothing else in the folder is read, listed or sent.
It sits there to be downloaded, and is used for nothing else.
The link dies on its own. There is no forever by accident.
Shared Links lists every live link. Revoke one and it stops working immediately.
What the other person sees.
One page, one button. No account, no app, no email address to hand over, nothing to install. It works on a phone as well as on a desktop.
The page shows the file name, its type and size, and how long is left before the link expires — with a preview when it is an image. One button, and the file is theirs. Under it, a clip and a Finder illustration say where the link came from.
Large files, folders and dropped connections
The link is already on your clipboard
When the upload finishes, Ricly copies the link for you. Paste it into a message and you are done.
Any file, any size up to the ceiling
Video, audio, archives, whole folders — Ricly zips a folder for you. There is no list of accepted types, only the storage ceiling of your plan.
The ceiling is what is online at once
Free keeps 1 GB live at a time. When a link expires, that space comes back and you can send again.
Every link is listed in the app
Shared Links shows what is live, how long is left and how many times each one was downloaded.
A dropped connection is not a restart
If the Wi-Fi drops, Ricly waits for it to come back — up to two minutes — and carries on. A big file, over about 134 MB, travels in pieces and picks up from the last one instead of starting again.
You see it move, and you can stop it
The bubble shows the speed and the time left — 1.4 MB/s · about 3 min left. A second upload waits its turn in its own bubble. ✕ or Esc stops for real: nothing stays online, and a canceled upload does not count against your three new links of the day.
Ricly vs. Mail Drop, WeTransfer web, Google Drive and Dropbox
Everybody uploads for this one — that is what sending a large file means. The difference is how many moves it takes to get to the link.

WHAT IT REPLACES
Send a whole folder as one link
you selected
Whatever you selected, one link. A folder is zipped for you before it leaves; several files travel side by side under the same link, and the person on the other end gets a single link instead of eleven. A drag-and-drop site can take several files too; Ricly starts from the folder already under your cursor.
macOS has its own answer, and it is a good one. Mail Drop sends up to 5 GB through iCloud, free, built into Mail, and the recipient downloads it for 30 days. If you are writing an email anyway, use it. Mail Drop travels inside an email; Ricly gives you the link on its own, with no message to write and no address to type, and puts it on your clipboard so you can drop it in Slack, a message or a document — and on a patchy connection it waits for the network to come back and picks a big file up where it stopped. Finding the file counts as a step on a website, because you have to go and look for it in a picker. With Ricly you are already on it. Waiting is never counted: they all wait, and so does this one.
Stop sending files the old way.
No tab to open, no window to drag a file into. When the upload finishes, the link is already on your clipboard.
You came for one tool. 16 more come with it.
Upload & Share is not an app you install. It is one item in a menu that also carries 16 others — same download, same account, nothing extra to set up.
13 are free, 4 are Pro. They install themselves as they ship, so the menu grows without you doing anything. This one is the only tool in the list that sends anything off your Mac — the other sixteen never do.

Sending large files from a Mac: common questions
Does the other person need an account?
No. They open the link and press one button. They are never asked for an email address.
Can I send a large file from a Mac to a Windows PC?
Yes. The person opens the link in any browser, on Windows, Android or an iPhone, and downloads the file. They don’t need Ricly or an account.
How do I send a large file with Mail on a Mac?
Use Mail Drop: attach the file in Mail and accept Mail Drop when it’s offered. It sends up to 5 GB through iCloud, and the recipient has 30 days to download it. Ricly is for when you want a link without writing an email.
What happens when the link expires?
The page says the link has expired and offers nothing else. The file is gone and the space is back on your allowance.
Can I delete a link before it expires?
Yes. Shared Links in the app, revoke, and it stops working right away. The file is kept for 48 hours so you can undo, then deleted.
Is there a size limit per file?
The limit is what you keep online at once: 1 GB on Free, 20 GB on Pro. A single file can fill it. Free also caps you at 3 new links a day.
What if my connection drops halfway?
Ricly waits for it to come back — up to two minutes — then carries on. A file over about 134 MB travels in pieces and picks up from the last one; a smaller file is sent again from the start.
Does a canceled upload count against my three links a day?
No. Press ✕ or Esc and the upload stops, nothing is left online, and it does not count against your three new links of the day.
Is this the tool that uploads my files?
Yes, and it is the only one. Every other tool in Ricly works on the file right on your Mac.
Why does my menu say “Upload & Share Lite”?
That is the free tier of this one tool: 1 GB online at a time, 3 new links a day, links lasting 3 days. The word comes off as soon as you are on Pro, and the ceilings with it — 20 GB and 30 days. Every other tool keeps the same name on both plans.
Can I send a folder?
Yes. Select a folder and Ricly zips it before uploading — you do not have to compress anything yourself. Select several files and they go under one link: the other person can take them one by one, or all at once in a single download up to 2 GB.
