    Boomerang - Privacy-first file sharing from Amsterdam

    What is Boomerang?

    Boomerang is a privacy-focused file sharing service from Amsterdam. Built by Nalden, co-founder of WeTransfer, who wanted to create an even simpler and more private way to share files.

    From the maker of WeTransfer: Nalden saw room for a simpler, more privacy-friendly approach. Boomerang does exactly that — drag and drop your files to share them securely.


    How Does It Work?

    Boomerang makes file sharing as simple as possible. No account needed, no sign-ups, no fuss. Just drag your files into the window and you'll instantly get a link to share.

    📁

    Drag & Drop

    No complicated uploads. Just drag your files into the window and they're instantly uploaded and ready to share.

    🔒

    Your files are transferred securely. Boomerang respects European privacy standards and doesn't track you.

    🍎

    No Account Required

    You don't need to create an account to share files. Just open, drag, and send.


    The WeTransfer Connection

    Nalden co-founded WeTransfer alongside Bas Beerens — one of the most widely used file-sharing platforms in the world. With Boomerang, he went back to the core: sharing files should be simple, and your privacy should be respected.

    Where WeTransfer has added more and more features over the years, Boomerang deliberately chooses minimalism. No accounts, no distracting wallpapers, no premium upsells. Just file sharing, safe and fast.


    Why Boomerang?

    In a world where most file-sharing services run on advertising and data collection, Boomerang offers a refreshing alternative. Built in Amsterdam, it follows European privacy regulations and puts you, the user, first.
