File Drop

Upload a file under a key — anyone with that key can download it. No account needed.

Reusing a key adds to that drop rather than replacing it — up to 25 files per key.

Anyone who knows the key can list and download these files — treat it like a password, and prefer a generated key over a memorable one. Keys are case-sensitive. Files can't be deleted by hand; they are removed automatically when they expire, so pick the shortest retention that works. Don't upload anything you can't afford to have shared.

How it works

Pick a key, upload your files, and send the key to whoever needs them. On the other end they type the same key and download. There is no account to create and nothing to install — the key is the only thing connecting the two sides.

Who can see my files?

Anyone who knows the key. There is no other check, so a short or guessable key is a weak lock — use the Generate button for a random one. Files are stored in private cloud storage and are only ever reachable through a short-lived link created after someone enters the right key.

How long are files kept?

You choose when you upload — an hour, a day, a week or a month. Once a file expires it stops appearing under the key and is deleted from storage. There is no way to delete a file early: because the key is shared with everyone who needs the files, letting a key holder destroy them would let anyone who guessed a weak key do the same. Pick the shortest retention that suits you instead.
