Cloud storage and backup with secure file sharing built in

Anyone with the link needs the password to download. Works on a single file, a folder link and a group link.

The link stops working once the number of downloads you set has happened.

Choose 10 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days. The public link switches itself off; your file stays in your account.

Share a file once: the public link is gone right after it is used. Useful for contracts and private files.

Upload several files and share them with a single link, downloaded one by one or as a ZIP. A folder link stays current as you add files, and you can add files to an existing link.

Lock a link to one person: they confirm their email with a one-time code before the file opens.

Add a title and a message to the download page, plus your own logo and colour, on every plan.

Images, video, audio, PDF and text open right in the browser.

An optional email when someone downloads your file, and a reminder the day before a link expires. Both can be switched off.

See how many times a link was used and switch it off at any moment, from the cabinet or the desktop app.

Email the link to someone straight from the download page, for a file or a group.

The page that opens your link has no third-party ads, and download speed is unlimited on every plan. On a paid plan the download starts at once; Free and guests see a 10-second pause.

Pick the day and time when a link stops working, up to 10 years ahead, on top of the quick presets from 10 minutes to 7 days.

Recipients open the files on the page but get no download button and no ZIP. While a file sits in a restricted link (view-only, sign-in or address limits), its own public page is closed too. It stops casual saving; it cannot stop someone from photographing the screen.

On a view-only link the recipient's account email, the email you sent the link to, or their IP address and the time are tiled across the preview. It is a deterrent shown on the page, not stamped into the file.

Require sign-in to upload.am, or allow a link only from certain IP addresses, ranges or host names. Combine it with a password or an email code.

On a paid plan a link can give each file an address that downloads it at once, with no download page. Only for links without a password, email lock, sign-in, address limit or view-only mode.

If you send a link to an email address and nothing is downloaded after 1, 3 or 7 days, we remind the recipient. At most twice.

A recipient with an upload.am account can copy the shared files straight into their own storage with one click, without downloading and uploading again.

When a link was opened, previewed, downloaded or saved, from which country, on which device and browser, and whether the visitor was signed in. With country and device summaries.

Turn on a rule in your account that passwords on your links need at least 10 characters with letters and digits.

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.

Replies from support, news from us and messages from other upload.am users arrive in your Inbox with a red counter. Unread replies and news also show as a pop-up until you mark them read. You can write to any user by email.

Send a file to a registered user by their email: they get a notice and accept or decline it in their cabinet, and nothing lands in their account until they accept. Choose move or copy, and the request expires in 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days.

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: files stay while you use your account; an account with no sign-in for 180 days is deleted after emails 30, 15 and 7 days before. 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.

Open a folder to another upload.am user to view and download, or to add files as well. Added files stay in your account and use your storage; only you can delete or rename.

One shared folder for photos and videos that everyone on your plan can add to.

Unpack ZIP, TAR and TAR.GZ archives (up to 2 GB), and also RAR and 7z (not password-protected) into a folder in your storage, with checks of file paths, file types and your free space.

Finds identical files by content and empty folders, shows how much space you can free and moves your selection to the trash. One copy always stays.

Bring your files back to how they were at a chosen moment: restore files deleted later, return changed files to their earlier content from versions, and optionally trash newer files. Made for ransomware and mistakes. Deleted files can be restored while they are still in the trash.

One-click sign-in and sign-up with your Google account. A new account starts on the free plan; an existing account with the same email is linked to it. Two-step verification and new-device confirmation still apply.

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.

A file named like a picture or document but whose first bytes show a Windows, Linux or macOS program, a script or PHP code is refused, the same as a .exe. The check runs on uploads, remote downloads and every file inside an unpacked archive, and also catches tricks such as a trailing dot or space in the name. It is not an antivirus: it does not look for malware inside documents.

An email when your account is opened from a new device or country, in the browser or in an app. Optionally require an email code for every new device.

See where you are signed in and sign out any browser or app remotely.

Lock a file with your own password before it leaves your device (AES-256-GCM). We store only unreadable data and cannot recover the password. File names stay visible, and previews and unpacking do not work for encrypted files. Open them with the free decryption tool.

If you lose a laptop or phone with our app, mark it as lost in Account → Devices. From that moment it can no longer open your files. An up-to-date app also erases its local copies and keys the next time it connects. Other devices keep working.

Download a copy of your data or delete your account and all files yourself, any time. Read our GDPR page and the Data Processing Agreement for business customers.

Choose how long deleted files stay in the trash and how long old versions are kept, from 7 days up to 10 years, for your account or for a whole team.

A locked file cannot be deleted, renamed or overwritten until the date you choose, and a lock can only be extended. Lock single files or whole folders, or set an automatic lock for every new team file.

Team admins can place a hold on the whole team, a folder, a file or one member’s files. While a hold is active the files cannot be erased permanently, do not expire and are not cleaned up; they can still be moved to the trash and restored.

We take a daily snapshot of your files and keep the data of permanently deleted files for the backup depth of your plan. Ask for your account or a folder to be restored to a chosen day, only the missing files or the full state. Depth is set in the admin and may differ by account type.

Every few minutes we look for mass overwrites, mass deletions and files with ransomware extensions. If something looks wrong you get an email and can undo all changes since the incident in one step: deleted files come back and overwritten files return to earlier versions.

Team files in text format and Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents are scanned for card numbers, IBANs, SSNs, private keys and access keys. Label any file Internal, Confidential or Restricted, and switch on a team policy that closes public links for confidential files so only team members can open them. PDFs, scans and files encrypted in the browser are not scanned.

Give each person only the access they need. An Editor can change everything in the team space, a Contributor can add files and change only the files they uploaded, a Viewer can only look and download. Roles apply on top of folder permissions.

Invite a contractor or a client as an external guest: they see only the folders you share with them, cannot create public links, and do not use a team seat. Admins can turn guests off for the team.

Admins can switch off public links, require a password, cap link lifetime, require recipients to sign in, forbid direct file links, restrict links to recipient emails on chosen domains and block links for confidential files. The rules apply to every member.

Ask a client for the documents you need, a filled-in questionnaire or an approval right inside a room or portal. The client ticks items off, you see who did what and when, and an automatic email reminder goes out every few days until it is done.

Create a ready folder structure for a legal case, client project or accounting client in one click, with access rights for the people you choose. Start a room or client portal from a template (document intake, project handover, NDA) or save your own.

Visitors must accept your NDA by name before they see anything. You set rights per document (open, view only, hidden), answer questions in a public or private Q&A, give investors a numbered document index and download a report of who opened which document, how many times and for how long.

Open an image or video from the team files, click the exact spot that needs a change and leave a comment there. For video the comment also gets the time of the frame, and clicking it later jumps to that moment. Comments can be marked resolved, and the file is approved or sent back for changes.

Your client sees a gallery, taps the heart on the photos they like (with an optional limit) and sends the selection. You get an email and can download the list of file names: one per line, comma-separated for Lightroom’s filename filter, or without extensions for Capture One. A CSV with notes is available too.

A file whose storage period ran out is not erased at once. For two weeks (set by the site) it waits in the Trash page under “Expired files”, and you can restore it with one click so its link works again.

Plan work next to the files: projects with a client and a deadline, tasks with an assignee and a due date, files attached to a task, and a daily email reminder for tasks that are due or late. For yourself or for the whole team.

Keep a card for every client with contracts, invoices and acts, each linked to its file. Track invoice status (draft, sent, paid), see overdue invoices and the total of unpaid ones. It is a light record keeper, not an accounting system, and it does not issue invoices.

Write rules, how-tos and onboarding guides for your team in simple Markdown, group them by category and search them. Team members read them, editors write them, and any article can be opened by anyone through a secret link if you choose.

Set “when a file is uploaded, approved or sent back for changes, then…” rules: move it to a folder, set a confidentiality label, lock it for some days, email someone or create a task in a project. Conditions by folder, extension or part of the name; every rule shows how many times it ran.

Turn on a team policy, or mark a single document in a data room, and every image, PDF and video that someone downloads through a link gets the downloader’s name, email and date printed diagonally into the file itself. It cannot be removed by closing a browser overlay. Other file types are downloaded unchanged; PDF stamping needs the qpdf tool on the server.

Send a PDF to up to ten people. Signers get a link, read the document and sign by typing their name or drawing, in the order you set or all at once, and they do not need an account. The finished PDF carries the signatures on its page plus a certificate of completion with hashes, times, IP addresses and the full event log. Reminders go out automatically. It is a simple electronic signature, not a qualified one.

New photos of documents, scans and PDFs are read in the background (English and Russian by default), and the text becomes searchable: type a word from a contract into the search box and the file comes up. Files also get tags from their camera data and from frequent words in the text. Recognition needs the tesseract tool on the server; content tags of ordinary photos need an external classifier that the site admin connects.

Open a document, spreadsheet or presentation (docx, xlsx, pptx, odt, ods, odp, csv, txt) from your files and edit it in the browser, together with colleagues at the same time. Every save becomes a new file version, so earlier states are never lost. The editor is Collabora Online running on its own server that the site admin connects.

When a big file changes a little, a sync client can send only the changed 8 to 64 MB blocks. The server compares block fingerprints and copies the unchanged blocks inside the storage itself, so they never travel over your connection. It suits databases, disk images, mailboxes and logs that change in place or grow at the end. This is a developer API, and the new content becomes a file version.

Companies can pay a Team or other paid plan by bank transfer: enter the company details and get an invoice and a service agreement with an availability and support SLA as PDFs. When the transfer arrives, we confirm it and the plan starts. Invoices are available from a minimum amount.

Anyone who is not in a team yet can start a 14-day trial of a business team in one click, with no card. Invite colleagues, try roles, sharing policies and data rooms. We email you three days before it ends; your files stay when the trial ends and you can pay by card, crypto or invoice. One trial per person.

Want to see how upload.am fits your team? Leave a request on the demo page with your company size and a convenient time, and we will show you teams, data rooms, e-signature and security settings in a short call.

When someone leaves the team, their team files stay and pass to the team owner, with the original author kept in the record. You can also hand a person’s files to any other member with one button before they go. Every transfer is written to the audit log.

Connect your own identity provider through OpenID Connect (Okta, Microsoft Entra, Google Workspace, Keycloak). You prove you own the company domain with a DNS TXT record, and then people with company addresses sign in with their work account and join the team automatically. SAML is not supported.

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.

Everything the website does is also in the API, so scripts, integrations and the Windows and Android apps can use it: files, folders and links, rooms and data rooms, e-signature, projects, clients and knowledge base, sending files to other users, bulk actions, rollback to a date, team policies and audit log, devices and plan limits. Bearer tokens, presigned uploads. Full reference at /docs/api, also as plain Markdown for scripts and AI assistants.

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.

Who uploaded, downloaded, renamed, moved, deleted, shared or changed permissions, when and from which address. Filter and export to CSV. For the owner and admins.

Invite only from your company domains, forbid public links or require a password and a maximum lifetime on them, and optionally send files to the trash after a set number of days.

Uploads, uploaded size, downloads, links and deletions for each team member over 7 to 365 days, plus downloads by outside recipients.

Lock a file for 24 hours while you edit it so nobody overwrites it, discuss it in comments, and request a review, approve or ask for changes. Participants are notified in their Inbox.

Set a shared encryption password for your Team: members encrypt in the browser with the same password, and the browser tells them right away if they typed it wrong. We keep only a check value, never the password. Changing it does not re-encrypt old files.

Put members into groups, such as Design or Accounting, and give a group access to a folder instead of setting it person by person. If someone has access both personally and through a group, the stronger one applies.

One account can belong to several teams, for example your own and your clients’, and switch between them in the Team page. In the API choose the team with the X-Upload-Team header.

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.

Free, Keep, Lite, Plus, Premium, Premium GOLD and two Lifetime plans for one person; Family for a household; Business and Enterprise for teams. Storage from 25 GB to 25 TB.

The comparison table shows exactly which feature each plan includes. A feature outside your plan is closed in the cabinet with a message that names the plan where it is available.

The My plan page in the cabinet shows your plan, how much of each limit you have used (storage, rooms, portals, Family people, team seats) and every feature with a tick or a cross and the plan where a closed feature is available.

API keys, active public links, folders shared with other people and the history window of trash and versions grow with each plan and are unlimited on Business and Enterprise. Nothing you already have is deleted when you reach a limit: you just cannot add more until you upgrade.

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.

Add people to a plan by email: up to 3 on Plus, 5 on Premium, 8 on GOLD, and 5 or 9 on the Family plans. Everyone keeps their own login and private files, and you share the plan's storage and limits.

Mark a family member as a child: no public links, no remote download, messages and files only inside the family. You can see the names, sizes and dates of their files.

Messages from paid plans are marked as priority and answered first. Replies arrive in your Inbox.

Need a little more? Add space in blocks of 100 GB, more Team space, or extra Team seats for a year without changing your plan. Add-ons stack, and nothing is deleted when one ends: you just cannot upload more until you are under the limit.

Pay once with crypto for five or ten years of a plan at a discount and forget about renewals. The time is added to what you already have.

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.
