Which one should you pick?
Pick Filemail if
You’re building around large raw-file handoffs. Filemail's free tier sends files up to 5GB without an account, which is the move when you need to push a podcast raw to a guest who refuses to download Dropbox. The paid plans go to unlimited transfer size with end-to-end encryption and antivirus.
Pick Podshare if
You’re building around guest-facing share pages. Podshare is a new and intentionally narrow tool from the Slice team: a single shareable page per episode that bundles everything a guest needs to promote — transcript, assets, platform links, suggested captions. That focus is the pitch, but also the limitation.

Frequently asked
What does Filemail do better than Podshare?
Filemail's standout is "5GB free transfers with no signup". Podshare doesn't make that promise — it leans into "Solves a specific guest-promotion problem cleanly" instead. If the first sentence describes your workflow, pick Filemail; if the second does, pick Podshare.
What are the trade-offs?
Filemail: free files expire after 7 days. Podshare: narrow scope by design. Whether either matters depends entirely on what you actually need — neither is a deal-breaker by itself.
Do they support the same platforms?
Filemail works on macOS, Windows, iOS, Android where Podshare doesn't. If you're on a specific OS or device, that may decide for you.
Can I use Filemail and Podshare together?
Both are asset sharing tools so most teams pick one. Some workflows do combine them — for example, using Filemail for one show or episode type and Podshare for another. Worth trying both free tiers before committing.
