Frequently Asked Questions
What is files.link?
files.link is a developer-first file platform that makes it simple to store, secure, and deliver files globally. It provides signed URLs, public/private access, and an API-first design so you can integrate file delivery into any app without the usual complexity.
How is files.link different from Google Drive or Dropbox?
Google Drive and Dropbox are built for consumer use and collaboration. files.link is built for developers and businesses, focusing on programmatic file hosting, global delivery, and usage-based pricing โ without unnecessary bloat.
Will my files still be available if files.link is down?
Yes. Your files continue to be served globally even if the files.link dashboard or API is offline for maintenance. The delivery infrastructure runs independently, so your end users never notice downtime.
What are signed URLs?
Signed URLs are secure, time-limited links that control who can access your files. They're ideal for private downloads, paid content, or temporary access.
Can I use my own domain?
Coming soon.
What is egress?
Egress means outbound data transfer. For example, if someone downloads a 1 GB file, that counts as 1 GB of egress.
What pricing model do you use?
files.link uses prepaid credits with usage-based billing. Add a payment method to receive $5 in credits, then usage is deducted daily from your balance. When credits run low, we automatically recharge your account โ no per-user fees or subscription tiers.
Can I make permanent links?
Yes. Public files can have permanent links. For private files, files.link provides permalinks that automatically issue fresh signed URLs, keeping them secure while still always accessible.
Who is files.link best for?

How does billing work?
files.link uses prepaid credits. When you add a payment method, we charge $5 to start your credit balance. As you use storage, bandwidth, and API requests, credits are deducted daily. When your balance runs low, we automatically recharge it. No monthly subscriptions โ just simple usage-based pricing.
How fast is file delivery?

Can I migrate from S3, R2, or other services?
Yes. files.link provides a REST API that makes migration straightforward. Simply upload your files via the API or dashboard, and update your application to point to the new URLs.
What file types are supported?
All file types are supported โ images, videos, documents, archives, code, databases, and more. There are no restrictions on file types or extensions.
Is there a file size limit?
files.link supports files of any size. Whether you're storing thumbnails or multi-gigabyte videos, the platform handles it seamlessly.
How secure is my data?
All files are encrypted at rest and in transit. You can use signed URLs for private files, control access with permissions, and rely on enterprise-grade infrastructure for data protection.
Do you offer an API?
Yes. files.link is API-first with a simple REST API for uploading, managing, and delivering files. Perfect for integrating file storage into your applications programmatically.
Can I use files.link for video streaming?
