File sharing without the subscription
Share large files with expiring download links
Upload a file up to 100 GB, set an expiry and a download cap, then share one disposable link. Recipients download with no account — and the link is gone when you say so.

3 uploads up to 50 MB free every month. No card required.
Disposable links
Every share link is its own token with an expiry date and an optional download cap. When it's spent, it's gone — your file stays put.
Pay as you go
No subscription, no monthly bill. Buy one pack of credits and spend it only when you act — a little to upload, a little each time someone downloads. Those downloads are billed to you, the owner, never the person you share with.
Genuinely large files
Uploads stream straight to storage — no buffering, no browser timeouts. Files up to 100 GB, served from the edge.
How it works
uploadtol.ink is a pay-as-you-go service for sharing large files as disposable download links — no subscription, and the people you share with never need an account.
Upload your file
Pick a file up to 100 GB and it streams straight to storage — no browser timeout, no size ceiling to fight. Your upload is ready in one step.
Share the download link
Generate a disposable download link, set how long it stays live and how many downloads it allows, then send it by email, chat, or ticket.
They download, then it's gone
Recipients open the link and the file downloads to their device — no account needed. When the link hits its expiry or download cap it stops working, and the share is over.
Pay per use, not per month
Buy a pack once and spend it only when you upload or share. Nothing auto-renews and there is nothing to cancel.
Just trying it out? The free tier includes 3 uploads of up to 50 MB every month — no credits needed.
Frequently asked questions
How do links expire?
Each link you generate carries its own expiry time and an optional maximum download count. Once either limit is hit the link stops working — but the underlying file is untouched, so you can mint a fresh link any time until the file itself expires.
Is there a subscription?
No. uploadtol.ink is strictly pay-as-you-go: you buy a pack of credits once and spend them only when you upload or someone downloads. Nothing auto-renews, there is no monthly bill, and there is nothing to cancel. The free tier — 3 uploads up to 50 MB every month — needs no card at all.
What can I do for free?
Every account gets 3 free uploads per month for files up to 50 MB, and each of those free uploads includes 3 free downloads per month. Bigger files — or anything you paid credits to upload — use credits from the first download.
Who pays when someone downloads?
You do — the file's owner. Each download is charged to your credit balance (free-tier uploads include a few free downloads each month). The people you share with never need an account or credits; they just open the link.
How big can my files be?
Up to 100 GB per file. Uploads are streamed end-to-end, so even very large files don't need to fit in memory — yours or ours.
What happens if my upload fails?
Credits are only reserved when an upload starts. If the upload doesn't complete — connection drops, you close the tab, anything — the reserved credits are automatically refunded to your balance.
How secure are my files?
Files are private by default; nothing is listable or browsable. Share links are long, unguessable random tokens you can expire or cap at any time, and your account password is hashed with a modern KDF.
