Frequently Asked Questions

Last updated: June 2026
What is filesdrop?

filesdrop.net is a fast and secure file-hosting service. You upload a file, get a short shareable link, and anyone with the link can download it.

Is it free?

Yes. Free accounts include 5 GB of storage. Paid plans offer more space and longer retention: 50 GB (Basic), 500 GB (Pro), 2 TB (Business), and 5 TB or 10 TB (Enterprise).

How large can my files be?

Single uploads can be up to several gigabytes. Very large files are uploaded in chunks, so an interrupted upload can resume.

How long are my files kept?

Retention depends on your plan — free files are kept for a limited period and may be auto-deleted, while paid plans keep files longer. We recommend always keeping your own backup.

Can I protect a download with a password?

Yes. On paid plans you can set a password, an expiry date, a download limit, one-time links, and more when you share a file.

Can I listen to audio before downloading?

Yes. For audio files (MP3, FLAC, WAV, and more) a built-in player appears on the download page so you can preview before downloading.

A download link isn't working — what do I do?

On the download page, click "Report broken link". Our moderators are notified and will check the file. If you uploaded it, you may be asked to re-upload.

How do I report abusive or infringing content?

Email support@filesdrop.net. For copyright takedowns, see our DMCA page.
