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.

What is the absolute max file size on quik.space?

5 GB. Files up to 100 MB are free, 100 MB to 500 MB is $1 one-shot, and 500 MB to 5 GB is $5 one-shot. There is no subscription, no auto-renewal, no stored card.

What if my file is over 5 GB?

Not supported today. The platform caps at 5 GB per file by design — anything bigger should go through a dedicated long-haul transfer service. quik.space is built for fast one-shot sends, not multi-terabyte transfers.

How long does a large file stay alive?

72 hours by default for both free and paid uploads. If you need longer, $2 extends any file by 30 days, renewable. Or pay $5 to create a 30-day space and drop multiple files inside under a shared clock.

Will a large file actually upload reliably from a browser?

Yes. Uploads stream directly to storage with a progress bar. A 5 GB file is constrained by your network speed, not by quik.space — plan for a few minutes on a typical home connection.

Is there a free trial for the paid tiers?

There are no trials and no subscriptions. Every paid action is one-shot — pay once for the file you are sending right now. If you do not need a bigger file later, you never see another charge.

The paid upgrade path

The free tier handles most "file too big for email" moments. For the bigger jobs the upgrade path is intentionally tiny:

$1 — single file between 100 MB and 500 MB
$5 — single file between 500 MB and 5 GB
$2 — extend any file's life by 30 days, renewable
$2 — bulk batch of up to 25 files
$5 — 30-day space holding multiple files under one clock

Every payment is one-shot. There are no monthly plans, no auto-renewals, no stored cards. See pricing for the full table.

When the free tier is enough

100 MB covers a long high-bitrate audio file, a short 4K video clip, several full-resolution photos, a heavy PDF report, or a full code project zipped tight. Run the file size before uploading — if it slides under 100 MB, the whole thing is free and disposable on a 72-hour clock.
