File sharing

Share a file without giving anyone an account

Most file sharing asks the other person to join something first. This is a link they open, and the sharing is finished.

Worth knowing

What you control when you share

Who can open it

A link anyone can use, or a password only the recipient has.

How long it lasts

Set the expiry when you create it. The file is deleted when the link stops working.

Whether you are told

Ask for a download notification and you find out without checking.

What the recipient sees

A page with the files and a download button. Nothing to install and nothing to sign.

Sharing versus storage

A shared drive is a place. A transfer is an event.

Cloud drives are built to hold things permanently and to manage who may see them. That machinery is worth having when a team works on the same files every day, and it is friction when you want one person to receive one file once.

Quick answers

Before you send

The essentials, without another wall of feature cards.

Do I need an account to share a file?

To send, yes, but there is no signup form: a one-time code arrives by email and the account is created with it. To receive, nothing is needed.

Can I stop sharing something?

Yes. Delete the transfer and the link stops working immediately.

Can I share with several people?

Yes, either by sending them the same link or by entering their addresses so each gets their own email.

Is there a limit on how much I can share?

5GB per transfer on a free account, and 300GB for a single file on Plus.

Can I see who downloaded?

Yes. Download activity is recorded against the transfer, and you can ask for an email when it happens.

Try it with the next thing you have to send

Choose the files, share one link, and see what happens after it lands.
