upload.am is a file hosting platform for people who upload a file, keep it, and send a link. A free account is already a working product: a web cabinet, official Windows and Android apps, password-protected links, download limits, burn-after-download, group links, Upload Inbox, a no-ads download page, unlimited download speed, a no-logs VPN, and a public API. Paid plans raise storage, maximum file size and retention. They do not unlock the cabinet, the apps, or the link controls.
Use upload.am when you need more than a one-off transfer page. Store files in folders, preview them in the browser, restore a previous version, drop a file into trash and bring it back. Share one file, a whole folder, or several files under one link. Protect that link with a password, cap the number of downloads, set an expiry date, or delete the link after it is used. Receive files from people who have no account through Upload Inbox. Embed an upload widget on your own site. The same account works in the browser, in Upload.am for Windows, and in Upload.am for Android. There are no third-party ads on the download page — on Free and on paid plans.
Not a teaser: this is the complete list of what the platform does today. Use the search or pick a platform to filter. Every line is something you can use right now.
From a quick drag-and-drop to a huge video over a shaky connection.
Drag files onto the page or pick them from your disk, several at once. A quick upload needs no account.
Files over 8 MB go up in parts and are retried on failure, so a dropped connection never restarts the whole upload. Downloads resume the same way.
Paste a URL and upload.am pulls the file straight into your account, with no download to your own computer first.
Guests can upload up to 25 GB a day and get a link at once.
Every upload is verified with a SHA-256 checksum, duplicates in the same folder are not stored twice, and executable and script file types are blocked before the upload starts.
Uploading a file with an existing name into the same folder keeps the old copy as a version instead of overwriting it.
On Android, shoot a photo or a video, or scan a paper document, and it goes straight to your cloud.
Use the Android Share menu in any app to send one or many files into your cloud.
Collect files from people who have no account, and give clients a place of their own.
A personal link where anyone can send you a file without signing up. Set a password, allowed file types, a maximum size and number of files, ask for the sender's name or email, and accept or decline each file.
Embed a file-receiving form on any site and limit it to your own domains.
A temporary two-way room with a deadline: you and your guest upload and download in one place, and when time is up the room and every file inside are deleted for real. Free on every plan.
A permanent page for each client at its own address, with two-way file exchange, a welcome message and a password. From the Plus plan; your logo and colours from Premium.
Ask a visitor to read a document and confirm. Name, email, IP address and time are recorded as evidence of the click. It is a click-to-sign record, not a cryptographic PDF signature. From the Plus plan.
A live activity feed in every room: who uploaded, viewed, downloaded, signed or left a message, with totals for each person.
A real file manager, not a pile of links.
Create, rename, move and delete; select many files at once; search and filter by type, size and date.
Images, video, audio (with a pinned player), PDF, Word, Excel, presentations, rtf, txt and csv open without downloading.
Thumbnails, grid and list views and sorting for the photos and videos you keep.
Restore an old copy, or download it without putting it back as the current file.
Restore deleted files. A recently deleted file cannot be erased forever for a few days, which protects you if someone gets into your account.
Downloads, incoming files and room events in one place.
A chart of your storage by file type.
Free: 30 days after the last download. Keep: 1 year after the last upload or download. Plus, Premium, Premium GOLD and Team: as long as the plan is active. Lifetime plans: as long as the account exists.
Protection that is on by default and tools you switch on yourself.
A code by email at sign-in, plus eight one-time recovery codes shown once when you turn it on.
An OpenVPN profile comes with every account, including Free. We keep no record of the sites you visit. It is built for everyday web browsing; torrents and mail servers are blocked.
Encrypt files on your own computer with AES-256 before they are uploaded; the key never reaches our servers. Available on paid plans.
The Windows app keeps its token in Windows Credential Manager and the Android app in encrypted storage; signing out revokes it.
About 55 executable and script types are rejected on upload, on rename, on remote upload and through the API.
One account and one storage on every device.
Browse, upload and download files and folders, with quick filters and recent files. Free for every account.
Back up the folders you choose, keep them in sync in real time or on a schedule, and sync only the subfolders you want. Changed files go up in the background.
Set an upload and download speed limit, run several transfers in parallel, review versions and trash, and receive Inbox files.
Back up photos, video, audio, contacts and a folder you pick, on a schedule or the moment a new photo appears. Wi-Fi only and charging-only options.
Browse folders, search, restore from trash, review versions, create share links with a password and expiry, and accept Inbox files.
Upload, manage and share files from your own scripts and apps with Bearer tokens and presigned uploads. Full reference at /docs/api, also as plain Markdown for scripts and AI assistants.
Shared storage for an office or an agency. Your clients never take a seat.
One pool of 1, 5 or 20 TB and 5, 15 or 50 seats, with shared folders for the whole team.
Owner, admin and member roles, and per-folder rights: view, upload or manage.
A shared receive link for the whole organisation, managed by owners and admins.
Invite teammates by email and get a warning before the shared pool fills up.
Ways the platform pays you back.
Get paid when other people download your files. Rates by region, a hold period before payout, and payouts to a crypto wallet. Open to every plan.
Get +25 GB of storage for every friend who joins, for up to four friends.
Redeem a coupon code when you register or later in your account.
Free users who have never paid can get the cheapest paid plan for $5 through a personal link.
Simple plans and the payment methods people actually use.
Free, Keep, Plus, Premium, Premium GOLD, two Lifetime plans and three Team plans. Storage from 25 GB to 20 TB.
Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover on a secure hosted checkout. Monthly plans renew automatically until you cancel.
USDT, USDC, BTC or ZEC. A one-time payment with no automatic renewal.
Pay for a year at once and get two months free. Lifetime plans are a single payment with no renewals.
A welcome email when you register, and a receipt after every payment with your login, plan, storage, dates and how it renews.
The whole interface in English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Arabic, Vietnamese, Persian, Indonesian, Filipino and Hindi, with right-to-left support.
A plain-text description of the service at /llms.txt and the API reference as Markdown, so assistants and scripts get accurate answers.

Each page explains one tool in depth: what it does, when to use it, and how to set it up in under a minute.

Learn more →One login. One storage pool. One set of links. You do not keep a “website account” and a separate “app account”. The free plan already includes every official client. Paid plans do not sell access to Windows or Android — they sell more space, a larger file size, longer retention, and a download that starts immediately.
Upload, folders, password links, group links, Inbox, versions, trash, remote download, API keys and billing — in 12 languages.
The browser cabinet is the full product: drag-and-drop upload, remote download from a URL, folders, search, bulk actions, versions, trash, share links, Inbox, API keys and billing. The interface runs in 12 languages.
Official desktop app on Free: cloud explorer, backup of folders you choose, live sync, Inbox, links, versions and optional local encryption.
The Windows app is built for people who keep working folders on a PC. Add the folders you care about — not the whole disk. Changed files go up in the background. You can browse the cloud, build a public link, accept Inbox files, restore a version, and optionally encrypt a file on the machine before it leaves the computer.
See the Windows app in detail →Official mobile app on Free: backup photos, video, audio, contacts and a folder. Cloud explorer, camera, document scanner, share from other apps.
The Android app is built for the camera roll and the files that never sit on a desktop. It backs up photos, video, audio, contacts and a folder you pick. You can open the cloud explorer, create a share link, accept Inbox files, shoot a photo or scan a document straight into the account, or share a file from another app into upload.am.
File hosting is not only “get a URL”. The pages below are the jobs upload.am is built for: keep the file, control the link, take files back from other people, and do it from a phone or a PC without a third-party downloader.
A free upload.am account is a cabinet, two official apps, a no-ads download page, password links, download limits, burn-after-download, group links, Inbox and a VPN. That combination is the product. Other file hosts exist. They are useful for a single job. They are not this stack. The table below is an example against two well-known hosts — 1fichier and MediaFire — so the difference is visible, not so they can be called equivalents.

Pick what you are sending. Every page has an upload box, the limits that matter and a few minutes of practical advice.
Send documents, archives, video, photos and design files up to 5 GB free, with no sign-up.
Share large video files at full quality, with an in-browser player and no sign-up.
Send full-resolution photos and RAW files with no compression, as one link or a gallery.
Send PDFs and documents securely, with a password, an expiry and in-browser preview.
Send files larger than 2 GB — up to 5 GB free, up to 300 GB on paid plans.
Get past the 25 MB Gmail attachment limit by sending a link to a file of up to 5 GB.
Share big files over WhatsApp as a link, in full quality, with no compression.
25 GB of storage, 5 GB per file, a web cabinet, the official Windows app, the official Android app, a no-logs VPN, password links, download limits, burn-after-download, group links, Upload Inbox, a public API key, and a download page with no ads. Download speed is unlimited. There is a 10-second wait before the file starts. Retention is 30 days from the last download.
No. Not on Free, not on paid plans. The person who opens your link does not sit through third-party banners to reach the file. That is one of the reasons a free plan here is not the same product as a free plan on a typical file host.
No. Both official apps are included with a free account. A paid plan changes storage, file size, retention and the wait on the download page. It does not unlock the apps.
Yes. Password-protect this file from the cabinet or from the share dialog. The recipient has to enter the password on the download page. The same control exists on a folder link and on a group link.
Yes. Set a download cap on the link. When that number is reached, the link stops serving the file. Combine it with an expiry date if you want both a count and a deadline.
Yes. Delete the download link after it is used — burn-after-download. The file is shared once, then the public link is gone. Useful for a contract, a dump of photos, or anything you do not want sitting on a public URL.
Yes. One link for all these files — a group link. The recipient opens one page and downloads the set, including as a ZIP when the size allows. You can also share a folder with a single link that stays current as you add files.
Paste a file URL in the cabinet. upload.am fetches that file into your account. You do not pull it down to your computer and push it back up. Useful when the file already lives on another host or a direct URL.
A personal link where anyone can send you a file without creating an account. You set a password, allowed types and a maximum size. Incoming files wait for you to accept or decline. There is also an embeddable widget for your own site, and a company Inbox on Team plans.
A temporary two-way room with a deadline: you and your guest upload and download in one place, and when time is up the room and every file inside are deleted for real. Drop Rooms are free on every plan.
A permanent page for each client at its own address, with two-way file exchange, a welcome message, a password and click-to-sign. Portals start with the Plus plan; your logo and colours come with Premium and above.
By card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), billed monthly, or with crypto (USDT, USDC, BTC, ZEC) as a one-time payment. Yearly plans save two months.
Yes. Every account, including Free, includes a no-logs OpenVPN connection. It is not a trial and not a separate subscription. Use it when you upload or download from a network you do not trust.
No. Speed is unlimited on every plan. Free and guests wait 10 seconds on the download page. Paid plans start immediately. There is no traffic throttle used as a paywall.
Upload the same name into the same folder and the old copy becomes a version. Restore it, or download that old copy without putting it back as the current file.
Limits and extras. More storage, a larger maximum file, files kept for as long as the plan is active, no wait before download, Client Portals and click-to-sign. The cabinet, apps, VPN, no-ads page, link controls, Drop Rooms and the affiliate program are available on every plan.
A free account: 25 GB, official apps, a no-logs VPN and a download page without ads. No card needed.
