Report abuse or copyright

Last updated November 13, 2026

We don't want FreeFileSending used for harm. If you see a link that breaks our terms, tell us and we'll act on it.

Fastest way: the Report button

Open the link and press Report this link. A link with 3 reports from different people is taken offline automatically.

Or email us

Send the full link and what's wrong to [email protected]. We can only act on a link we can see, so include the whole address.

Copyright notice

If you own a copyright and a link shares your work without permission, email us a notice with:

1. Your name and contact details.
2. What work you own.
3. The FreeFileSending link.
4. A statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't allowed by you, your agent or the law.
5. A statement that your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you own the work or can act for the owner.
6. Your signature (a typed name is fine).

Links expire on their own, usually within days. We can't open files, because they're encrypted and we don't have the key, so we act on your notice and the link alone.

What we do

• We remove the reported link so nobody can download it.
• We may block repeat offenders from uploading.
• If we get a valid legal order, we hand over only what we have: scrambled data, its size and its dates. We have no names, no contents and no accounts.

If your link was removed by mistake

Email us the link and tell us why it was a mistake. If you believe a copyright notice was wrong, you can send a counter-notice with the same details as above, plus your consent to the courts of your country.

Serious harm

For anything involving children being hurt, contact the police or your country's child-safety hotline as well. In the US, that is the NCMEC CyberTipline.
