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.

Browser to browser

HyperWave alternative.

HyperWave is a great peer-to-peer browser sender. quik.space is the alternative when async pickup matters, or when the file is bigger than a WebRTC channel wants to chew through.

FAQ

What is HyperWave?

HyperWave is a browser-based file-sending tool built on WebRTC. You open a tab, share a code or URL with the receiver, both browsers connect peer-to-peer, the file streams over without ever touching a server's storage. It's well-built for low-friction direct transfers.

What's similar to HyperWave?

Snapdrop and PairDrop are the closest siblings — all three use WebRTC, all three are no-install browser flows. They differ on UX details (rooms, history, mobile polish). quik.space is the closest non-WebRTC sibling: same no-install, no-account UX, but the file goes through HTTPS storage instead of peer-to-peer.

Why pick quik.space over HyperWave?

Async pickup. HyperWave requires both sides in the browser simultaneously; quik.space doesn't. The sender finishes, walks away, the receiver downloads at their own pace within 72 hours (or 7 days if locked).

Is there a HyperWave alternative for large files?

quik.space supports up to 5 GB single uploads ($5). HyperWave's effective ceiling is browser-dependent — it streams the file as it goes, so very large transfers depend on both sides staying connected.
