Security & Privacy First
FileFlap is designed to make file sharing simple while limiting unnecessary collection of personal information. Security, temporary storage, access controls, and privacy protections are built into how the service operates.
Privacy-First Design
FileFlap does not require users to create an account before sharing files. Uploaded files are not used for advertising profiles or AI model training.
Automatic Deletion
Uploaded files are stored temporarily and removed after their configured expiration period. This limits how long shared files remain available through FileFlap.
Password Protection
Users can add optional password protection when sharing sensitive files. Passwords are securely hashed before storage, adding another access-control layer for private links.
Rate Limiting & Abuse Prevention
FileFlap uses rate limiting and CAPTCHA verification to reduce automated abuse. These protections help defend the service against spam, bots, and excessive automated requests.
No Cookies or Tracking
FileFlap does not use cookies or cross-site tracking to follow visitors across websites. Anonymous server-side analytics help measure performance without creating advertising profiles.
Built with security and privacy as core principles

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about uploading and transferring large files with FileFlap
01
What is FileFlap's large file upload and transfer service?
FileFlap is a secure no login file transfer website that lets you send files online and transfer files online without creating an account. It is built for speed and reliability when you need to send large files or transfer large files worldwide. Powered by a global Content Delivery Network (CDN), your files are delivered quickly to recipients anywhere.
02
Who uses FileFlap to upload and transfer large files online?
Our platform is for anyone who needs to transfer large files online reliably. A filmmaker might send 2TB online to an editor, while a research team could transfer 2TB online to collaborators. Businesses also use FileFlap to transfer 3TB online for backups or send 3TB online for large project archives.
03
How large a file can I upload or transfer online with FileFlap?
You can upload up to 1TB per transfer, with total collections of up to 5TB. Depending on your needs, you can send 1TB online for professional work or transfer 1TB online for structured data delivery.
04
Can I upload multiple large files at once?
Yes. You can drag and drop multiple files, making sending large files much faster. This is useful whether you share smaller files or split a project when you need to send 2TB online efficiently.
05
Can I upload or download files using CLI tools like wget, curl, or aria2c?
Yes. FileFlap supports headless and CLI workflows for both uploads and downloads. Single-file downloads work with wget, curl, or aria2c — all support resume, and aria2c supports 16 parallel connections for faster large-file downloads. JDownloader multi-thread is also supported. Folder and collection downloads use a provided bash script that downloads files one by one, preserves folder structure, and supports resume — requires curl, jq, and python3. CLI uploads are also available via a bash script on your admin page, with folder support that preserves relative paths.
06
What happens if I close my browser or lose connection during upload?
If your internet connection is interrupted during upload, you can reconnect and resume the upload as long as you return within a reasonable time and the file remains unchanged (e.g., not moved, renamed, or removed from your device). Otherwise, the upload will be canceled.
07
Are my large file transfers private?
Yes. All files are encrypted and delivered via a unique link with optional password protection, whether you transfer 4TB online for business or send 4TB online for large-scale personal projects.
08
Can I delete or remove large files after sending them?
Yes. You'll receive an admin link to delete files or extend storage time. This works for anything from a free transfer when you send 10GB free or transfer 10GB free, to larger deliveries like send 100GB online or transfer 100GB online.
09
How long do files I upload or transfer online stay available?
By default, files are available for 7 days. You can extend this to 30 days, whether you send 5TB online or transfer 5TB online.
10
Is it free to send large files with FileFlap?

Do people need an account to download the files I send online?
No. Anyone with the link can download your files instantly — whether you send 1TB online or share even larger transfers — without signing up.
13
Can I enter an email address when I send large files online?
Yes — adding an email is optional. If you include one, you can receive notifications when recipients download your file or access your transfer details later. This works whether you send large files for personal use or business delivery.
