FileFast help

Straight answers before you send

Learn how verified transfers work, what recipients see, how long inactive files remain available, and which tools are included on web and mobile.

A clearer transfer

Fast to send. Simple to receive.

Simple sending

Choose files, verify your email with a one-time code, then share a link or send the transfer by email.

Recipient-friendly downloads

Recipients can open a transfer and download without creating a FileFast account.

Accountable by design

Verified senders and known-threat scanning reduce abuse while keeping legitimate transfers quick.

Common ground

The answers behind most questions

Recipients never need an account

Every transfer opens in a browser. This is the single fact that resolves most questions about whether a client, contractor or examiner will be able to use it.

Limits apply to the transfer

Size, expiry, password and access are properties of the delivery, not of individual files. Twelve files and one archive behave identically.

Files clear on a schedule

Seven days on Free, ninety on Plus, a year on Creator and Teams. FileFast is built to hand work over and then let go of it, which is a different job from storing it.

Before the first send

Most of it is simpler than it sounds

The questions people actually ask are about limits, what the recipient sees, and how long a file stays up. Those answers are short.
