A file host, not a sync client

Cloud drives are designed to keep your own devices in step. A file host answers a different question: how do I get this file to someone else with the least friction? Recipients do not need an account, an app or an invitation. They open a link, see the file name and size, preview it when the browser can, and download it.

The My Files area of your dashboard works alongside the video library. You can create folders, move files between them, rename them and turn a folder into a shareable page that lists everything inside. The same 5 GB per-file ceiling applies to a free account, and 20 GB to premium.

What you can store

Documents and PDFs, ZIP archives, audio such as MP3 and FLAC, images from JPG to HEIC and PSD, text and code files, disk images and software installers all work. Videos uploaded through the same screen are sent to the streaming pipeline instead, so they play in the browser rather than only downloading.

Built for passing files around

The parts of the dashboard that matter when the goal is sharing.

Direct share links

Each file gets its own page with a stable link you can paste into chat, email or a forum post.

Folders and public pages

Group related files and publish a folder so one link covers a whole project.

In-browser preview

Images, audio, PDFs and plain text open without downloading, and ZIP archives can show their contents.

Four ways in

Upload from the browser, over FTP, from a remote link or through the API when you automate.

Search and rename

Find files by name from the dashboard and rename or move them at any time.

Report and DMCA tools

A built-in DMCA manager and report flow keep the service within copyright rules.

Share a file in under a minute

  1. 1Open the uploader with Start uploading free, or sign in if you already have an account.
  2. 2Choose Files rather than Videos, then drag the file in. Large files upload in the background, so you can leave the tab open and carry on.
  3. 3Open the finished file and copy its link. Add it to a folder first if it belongs to a set.
  4. 4To share a set, publish the folder and send the single folder link instead of many separate ones.
  5. 5Check the file later from your dashboard, rename it, move it or delete it when the job is done.

Typical files and how they behave

Video (MP4, MKV, MOV)Stream in the player or downloadProcessed for streaming, so allow a few minutes for long files
PDF and textPreview in the browser, then downloadHandy for contracts, manuals and notes
ZIP archiveDownload, with contents listing where supportedBest for bundling many small files into one link
Audio (MP3, FLAC, WAV)Play in the browser or downloadShare demos and podcast drafts without email
Images (JPG, PNG, HEIC, PSD)View or download the originalOriginals are kept at full size

Per-file limit: 5 GB on free accounts, 20 GB on premium.

When a file host beats email and chat

Email servers commonly stop attachments at around 25 MB combined, and chat apps set their own caps. A hosted link has no such ceiling until you reach 5 or 20 GB, and the recipient gets the original file, not a recompressed copy. That matters for design files, raw audio and finished video where quality has to survive the trip.

For recurring jobs, a folder link is neater than a thread of attachments. Update the folder and everyone who has the link sees the new files next time they open it. Read the send large files guide for sizing advice, or the email workflow for big videos.

Keeping files organised and safe

Use folders from the first upload, because a flat list of 300 files is hard to search later. Rename files so recipients know what they are opening. Do not upload anything you are not allowed to share, and remember that anyone who has a link can open it, so skip sensitive documents unless you have encrypted them first.

Inactive free-account files are cleaned up after a long period without activity, and guest uploads are temporary, so keep an original copy of anything irreplaceable. Premium accounts are never cleaned up for inactivity.

Create an account or take the guest route, drop in a file and copy the link. It takes less time than writing the email you were about to send.

Частые вопросы

Any type. Videos go through the streaming pipeline, while documents, archives, audio, images and other files are stored as they are and can be previewed when the browser supports it.

5 GB per file on a free account and 20 GB per file on premium.

No. Anyone with the link can open the page, preview supported files and download.

Yes. Publish a folder and share its public page so one link lists every file inside.

Not the only place. Files that nobody touches for a long time on a free account can be removed, so keep your own copy of anything you cannot recreate.
