Terms of use
Last updated November 13, 2026
FreeFileSending is a free service for sending files. By using the website or the app you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use FreeFileSending.
Who can use it
You must be at least 13, and old enough where you live to agree to these terms. You are responsible for what you send and who you send it to.
Don't use FreeFileSending for
- Anything illegal where you or the recipient are
- Malware, phishing or scams
- Material that sexually exploits children, or that promotes violence or terrorism
- Sharing other people's copyrighted work without permission
- Harassment, or sharing someone's private information without consent
- Using FreeFileSending as permanent storage or as a file host for a website or app
Links and limits
- Links hold up to 5 GB and expire after the time the sender picks (1 hour to 7 days), or after the chosen number of downloads.
- FreeFileSending uses a fixed amount of free storage. When it's full, new uploads wait until older links expire.
- There are fair-use limits per visitor per day.
- We can't recover a lost link or its files, because we never have the key.
We may remove links
We may remove any link, or block uploads, if we believe it breaks these terms or the law, or to protect the service. A link that several people report is taken offline automatically.
Reporting abuse or copyright problems
Use the Report this link button on the download page, or email [email protected] with the link and what's wrong.
Copyright notices should include: your name and contact details; the work you own; the FreeFileSending link; a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorised by you, your agent or the law; a statement that your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or allowed to act for them; and your signature (a typed name is fine). We remove reported links quickly. Because files are encrypted, we can't view them, and removal is based on your notice. People who repeatedly share infringing material may be blocked.
No warranty
FreeFileSending is provided free and "as is". We do our best to keep it working and secure, but we can't promise it will always be available, error-free or that files will arrive. Keep your own copies of anything important.
Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, FreeFileSending and the people who run it are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for lost data, profits or files, arising from using FreeFileSending. Our total liability for any claim is limited to US$50. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.
Your responsibility
If you break these terms or the law using FreeFileSending, you agree to cover the reasonable costs that causes us, including claims from other people.
The app
The desktop app is free to use. It sends files directly between computers on the same network, and can also send by link using this service under these same terms.
Changes
