It survives bad Wi-Fi
Uploads are chunked and checksummed. Close the laptop lid halfway through and the same transfer picks up where it stopped when you open it again — even on another machine.

Big files, gone in a click.
Wedding footage, a 40 GB project archive, the raw scans your printer keeps asking for. Drop it here and we hand you a link — the person on the other end just clicks it. No app, no account, no "your file is too large" bounce at 3 in the morning.

How it works
Three steps, and none of them involve a support ticket.
Drop the files in
Drag a folder, a disk image, a hundred RAW photos. We slice everything into chunks in the background so a dropped connection costs you seconds, not the whole upload.
Choose how long it lives
Pick an expiry from an hour to a month, cap the number of downloads, and add a passphrase if the contents are sensitive. Change your mind later from the dashboard.
Share the link
Email it from here or paste it anywhere you like. The recipient gets a plain download page — nothing to install, nothing to sign up for, works on a phone.
The details
Small things that stop transfers going wrong.
We have spent four years watching people send enormous files over unreliable connections. Most of the product is the lessons from that.
Links that actually expire
An expiry is a promise, not a suggestion. When the clock runs out the link stops resolving and the bytes are queued for deletion on the next sweep.
Locked before it leaves
Add a passphrase and the file is encrypted in your browser first. We store ciphertext; the key travels in the part of the link our servers never see.
You can see what happened
Every transfer keeps a small log: when it was opened, from roughly where, and how many times. Enough to answer "did they get it?" without tracking anybody.
An API, if you want one
Everything on this page is one HTTP call away. People wire it into render farms, backup scripts and Slack bots. Docs are short on purpose.
Stored in Europe
Files live on our own hardware in Frankfurt and Stockholm. Nothing is copied outside the EU, and you can pin a single site if your paperwork requires it.

“We shoot 4K multicam and the footage has to be with the editor the same night. filesflies is the only thing we tried that finished the upload before we finished packing the van.”

Who uses it
Mostly people whose files are too big for email.
Video and photo crews
Send the day's rushes straight from the card reader while the rest of the kit is still being packed.
Print and design studios
Hand a client a proof they can open on a phone, with a link that quietly expires after the job ships.
Research groups
Move a dataset between two universities without asking either IT department for a new account.
Small software teams
Drop a signed build for a tester without publishing it to a store or standing up a bucket.
Plans
Straightforward, and you can leave whenever.
Every plan includes the full feature set. You are only paying for size, storage time and how many people share the workspace.

Questions
Before you ask
Why do I need an invite?
We keep sign-ups closed while a human reviews each request. It is dull, but it is the reason this service is not full of people hosting things they should not. Requests are normally answered within two working days.
Does the person receiving the file need an account?
No. They get a plain page with a download button. If you set a passphrase they will be asked for it once, and that is the only extra step.
What is actually the biggest file I can send?
100 GB per transfer on a paid plan, and a transfer can hold many files. If you routinely need more than that, write to us — the limit is a billing decision, not a technical one.
Can I delete something before it expires?
Yes. Deleting from the dashboard kills the link immediately and schedules the bytes for removal on the next sweep, which runs every few hours.
What do you do about abuse?
Read the acceptable use policy. Short version: no malware, no copyright laundering, no using us as a CDN for something you would not put your own name on. Reports go to the address on that page and are handled the same day.
Got something enormous to send?
Ask for an invite and we will get you set up.
