Yes. Up to 100 MB per file and up to 3 files per request are free. Files expire in 72 hours unless you pay $2 to extend by 30 days, or pay to group them into a 30-day space for $5.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Anonymous use is the default. You can optionally attach your email so you can recover files later if you lose the share link.

How long do files last?

Free files expire in 72 hours. After that there is a 7-day grace period during which a $2 extend will bring the file back for 30 more days. After the grace period the storage is permanently purged.

Can AI agents use quik.space?

Yes. quik.space exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and accepts the x402 standard for stablecoin micropayments on Base. Agents do not need API keys or signup — their wallet is their identity.

What file types are supported?

Any file up to 5 GB. The recipient page renders inline previews for images, audio, video, PDFs, markdown, HTML (sandboxed), Microsoft Office docs, and plain text or code.

FAQ

What's the best free file hosting service?

Depends what you need. For one-shot sharing without an account, quik.space — drop, link, send, file disappears in 72 hours. For permanent storage with a free tier, MEGA or pCloud. For audio/image specifics, Catbox or PostImages. quik.space's niche is 'I need to give one file to one person right now, then forget it.'

Is there free file hosting without registration?

Yes — quik.space. No account, no email, no login screen. Drop a file, get a URL, share it. Up to 100 MB free, kept for 72 hours. For more storage life or bigger files there are one-shot payments ($1 to $5), but you still don't need an account to pay.

How does free online file sharing work?

Browser-based file hosting like quik.space stores your file on signed cloud storage, gives you a short unguessable URL pointing at it, and serves the file when someone opens that URL. No software install. No account on either end. The free tier caps file size and lifetime — that's how the model stays free.

Where can I upload files online for free?

quik.space (no account, 72-hour lifetime), Catbox (permanent), 0x0.st (CLI-friendly), Pixeldrain (free with usage limits), MEGA (free 20 GB persistent storage). quik.space is fastest for 'I want a link right now' use cases.

Is free file sharing online safe?

It depends on the service. quik.space transmits over HTTPS, file URLs are 62^8 ≈ 218 trillion combos (effectively unguessable), files auto-expire, and you can lock the link with a 10-character passcode for $1. We never train AI on user files and we don't have a public discovery feed. Other 'free file hosting' services range from privacy-respecting (Catbox) to ad-heavy and aggressive on data harvesting — read the terms.

What's the catch on free file hosting?

Storage costs real money, so every free service makes a tradeoff. quik.space's is auto-expiry — your file leaves after 72 hours unless you pay. Catbox uses donations + permanent storage but no per-file controls. Pixeldrain has bandwidth ads. MEGA's 20 GB is real but tied to an account. Pick the model that fits your use case.

Can I upload files for free without giving an email?

Yes. quik.space accepts uploads with zero personal data — no email field, no account. You can optionally attach an email after the upload if you want to recover the file later via /find, but it's never required.
