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.

Cross-network

LocalSend alternative.

LocalSend is great on a shared LAN. quik.space picks up when the devices aren’t on the same network — works over any internet connection, no install, no discovery dance.

FAQ

What's the catch with LocalSend?

LocalSend uses HTTPS over the local network with mDNS for discovery. Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi (or VPN segment) to see each other. As soon as one of them is on a different network — phone on cellular, laptop on a guest network — discovery fails.

Is there a LocalSend alternative for different networks?

quik.space. Same no-install browser flow, but goes through public HTTPS storage instead of mDNS peer-to-peer. The two devices can be anywhere with internet. Trade: slower than peer-to-peer over LAN, but works when LAN isn't an option.

Should I use LocalSend or quik.space?

Use LocalSend when both devices are on the same network and you can install a small app on each — it's fast and the file never leaves your LAN. Use quik.space when the receiver isn't on the same network, doesn't want to install anything, or will download later (LocalSend doesn't queue).

Is LocalSend more private than quik.space?

Yes for the use case where the file truly never leaves your local network. quik.space's file transits over HTTPS through Supabase Storage on its way to the recipient. We don't train AI on it and we expire it automatically, but the file is in transit through public infrastructure. If that matters and same-network is feasible, LocalSend is the right tool.
