Is Sandra a good alternative to Google Drive for sharing large files?

Yes, when the job is delivery rather than collaboration inside a cloud document workspace. Sandra focuses on private links, recipient-friendly downloads, file requests, expiry, encrypted storage, and Vault.

What is the file size limit on Sandra compared to Google Drive?

Sandra's free plan supports transfers up to 5 GB per send. Pro supports 1 TB per transfer, Business supports 2 TB, and Enterprise supports 5 TB.

Does Sandra require recipients to have an account?

No. With Sandra, recipients can open a private download link without creating a Sandra account. The sender can create an account for Vault, history, billing, and file requests.

Is Sandra built for privacy-focused delivery?

Sandra is built around private delivery: encrypted storage, EU-hosted infrastructure, expiring links, no ads, no file content used for AI training, and no content profiling for advertising.

Can I share files temporarily with Sandra like with Google Drive?

Yes. Sandra is designed for temporary delivery. Links can expire, downloads can be limited, and important final copies can live in Vault when you want to keep them.

Does Sandra use my files to train AI like Google?

No. Sandra never uses your files, transfers, or Vault documents to train AI models, and never profiles your content for advertising. Google processes Drive content across its ecosystem and its AI assistant can access your files. With Sandra's one-tap end-to-end encryption, your files are encrypted in your browser and Sandra cannot read them at all.

Why teams add Sandra next to Drive

Use Drive when you need a workspace. Use Sandra when you need private delivery, Vault, and files left alone.

Cleaner client handoff

Send one private link. The recipient downloads the file without joining your workspace or learning a new folder structure.

Links can be temporary

Some files should not live forever. Sandra gives transfers expiry, limits, and a clearer end to the delivery.

No content profiling

Sandra does not use your files for ads, profiling, or AI training. The product is the transfer, not your content.

Vault when you need it

Keep final copies in Vault, but keep quick transfers lightweight. Sandra separates delivery from long-term storage.

File requests included

Ask clients to upload missing files through a clean request link instead of chasing attachments across email threads.

Built for private work

Encrypted storage, EU-hosted infrastructure, and a calmer workflow for files that should stay between sender and recipient.
