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 and our privacy page. If you don't agree, don't use it.
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
- Trying to break, overload or get around the service, its limits or its security
- 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 see how to report abuse or send a copyright notice. People who repeatedly share infringing material may be blocked.
Your files stay yours
You keep all rights to what you send. You give us only the permission needed to store the encrypted data and pass it to the people you share the link with, until it expires.
Donations
Donations are optional gifts through Ko-fi. They don't buy extra features, support or guarantees, and are not refundable by us.
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.
Ending access
You can stop using FreeFileSending at any time. We may stop or block anyone who breaks these terms, or end the service, with or without notice.
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.
Law
These terms follow the laws of the place where the service's operator lives, unless your local consumer law says otherwise. Any parts that can't be enforced are dropped, and the rest still apply.
Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed. Using FreeFileSending after a change means you accept it.
