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.

No same-network needed

Snapdrop alternative.

Snapdrop is excellent when both devices share a Wi-Fi. quik.space picks up where that requirement drops out: drop in any browser, link works in any other browser, anywhere with internet.

When Snapdrop is the right tool, and when it isn’t.

Same Wi-Fi, small file, you have both devices in front of you, both browsers open simultaneously: Snapdrop is the fastest path. The moment any of those things isn’t true — phone on cellular, file is 2 GB, recipient isn’t at their laptop yet — quik.space is the better tool.

FAQ

What's the catch with Snapdrop?

Snapdrop discovers peers over WebRTC and requires both devices to be reachable through the same NAT — in practice, both on the same Wi-Fi network. If your phone is on cellular and your laptop is on home Wi-Fi, Snapdrop won't see them. quik.space goes through public storage instead of peer-to-peer, so the two devices can be on totally different networks.

Why use quik.space instead of Snapdrop?

Three reasons. (1) Cross-network: works between any two devices anywhere. (2) Asynchronous: the sender doesn't have to keep their browser open while the receiver downloads. (3) Bigger files: free up to 100 MB, paid up to 5 GB; Snapdrop is constrained by the browser's WebRTC data channel.

Is there a Snapdrop for Windows?

Snapdrop itself runs in any browser on Windows — open snapdrop.net and it works. The constraint isn't the OS, it's the same-network requirement. quik.space is the no-same-network alternative.

How does quik.space compare to PairDrop?

PairDrop is a Snapdrop fork with public-room invites that bridge across networks. It's solid for one-off cross-network transfers if you can both stay in the same browser tab during the send. quik.space is simpler when one side just wants to receive — the sender finishes, closes their tab, the receiver downloads later.

Does Snapdrop need an account?

No, and neither does quik.space. Both are no-signup. The difference is what 'no-signup, no-app' enables — Snapdrop trades zero-setup for same-network-only; quik.space trades zero-setup for any-network, async, larger files.
