Yes. Up to 100 MB per file and up to 3 files per request are free. Files expire in 72 hours unless you pay $2 to extend by 30 days, or pay to group them into a 30-day space for $5.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Anonymous use is the default. You can optionally attach your email so you can recover files later if you lose the share link.

How long do files last?

Free files expire in 72 hours. After that there is a 7-day grace period during which a $2 extend will bring the file back for 30 more days. After the grace period the storage is permanently purged.

Can AI agents use quik.space?

Yes. quik.space exposes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and accepts the x402 standard for stablecoin micropayments on Base. Agents do not need API keys or signup — their wallet is their identity.

What file types are supported?

Any file up to 5 GB. The recipient page renders inline previews for images, audio, video, PDFs, markdown, HTML (sandboxed), Microsoft Office docs, and plain text or code.

Why am I seeing transfer limit reached on Dropbox?

Your file or batch crosses the per-transfer cap of your plan. Basic is 100 MB, Plus is 2 GB. Dropbox surfaces the error before letting you complete the send.

Does paying more on Dropbox solve this for one transfer?

Yes, but it locks you into a monthly subscription. For an occasional big send, a one-shot $5 upload on quik.space is cheaper and less paperwork.

Can the recipient download without a Dropbox account?

On Dropbox Transfer, mostly yes. On a regular Dropbox folder share, they may be prompted to sign in. quik.space never prompts the recipient for any account.

Will the file delete itself?

On quik.space, yes. 72 hours by default, extendable for $2 per 30 days. After grace the file is permanently purged.

Is quik.space safe for client work?

Yes. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest. The share ID is unguessable. We do not read or train on your file.

dropbox transfer limit reached

Dropbox Transfer limit reached.

Dropbox Transfer caps each send by plan. Free Basic stops at 100 MB. Plus stops at 2 GB. When you see the limit-reached error, Dropbox is refusing the transfer until you upgrade or split the file. Upgrading locks you into a monthly subscription for what may be a once-a-year need. Splitting is slow and fragile. The cleaner fix is a one-shot send through a service that does not require either side to have an account. Drop the file on quik.space, paste the resulting link wherever the recipient can read it. The upload widget below is ready.

What is happening

Dropbox Transfer caps at 100 MB on Basic, 2 GB on Plus, 100 GB on Family, Professional, and Standard team plans.

Dropbox Transfer is a separate feature from your main Dropbox storage. It caps each transfer by plan, and the cap is per-transfer rather than total. Free Basic users hit the 100 MB ceiling fast. The error you see is Dropbox refusing a transfer that crosses the plan cap, not a problem with your account or your file.

Common workarounds

Here is what most people try first, and where each option falls short.

Upgrade Dropbox to Plus or Professional: Move to a paid Dropbox plan to lift the Transfer cap.; Downside. Monthly subscription. Plus is $9.99 a month for a 2 GB Transfer ceiling. Overkill for one large send.
Split the file across multiple transfers: Send pieces in separate transfers below the cap.; Downside. Slow, fragile, and the recipient has to rejoin the parts. One missing transfer breaks the whole batch.
Move the file into your main Dropbox folder and share: Drop into your synced Dropbox, share the folder link.; Downside. Uses your storage quota. Recipient may be prompted to sign in. File stays in your Dropbox forever unless you clean it up.
Compress before transferring: Pack the file into a zip to slip under the cap.; Downside. Already-compressed formats barely shrink. Recipient still has to unpack.

The cleaner fix

Drop the file on quik.space, copy the link, send it however you want. Files up to 5 GB are supported on a one-shot upgrade, no subscription. Recipient does not need a Dropbox account, a quik.space account, or any signup. Free for the first 100 MB.

The upload widget at the top of this page is the same one on the homepage. Drop the file, copy the link, paste it where you wanted to attach. See pricing for the full table or how it works for the three-step explainer.

What we will not do

We do not read your file. We do not train AI on your file. We do not sell your file. Every upload is encrypted in transit over HTTPS and at rest. The share ID is an 8-character random string with roughly 218 trillion combinations, so the link is practically unguessable. After 72 hours plus a 7-day grace period, the bytes are permanently purged from storage and cannot be recovered.
