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.

Can quik.space handle a 20 GB file?

Not as a single upload. The cap is 5 GB per file. For 20 GB you would split into four chunks under 5 GB each and send them separately, then have the recipient rejoin them with the same tool used to split.

Is splitting a 20 GB file safe?

Yes, when done with mainstream tools. 7-Zip, Keka, and split create chunks that recombine bit-perfectly. The risk is human error, losing one chunk along the way. Send all chunks in the same batch, name them clearly, and keep a checksum of the original if the file is mission-critical.

How much does it cost to send 20 GB through quik.space split?

Four $5 chunks, so $20 total. That is below most monthly subscriptions of competing services and you only pay it once. If you regularly send files this size, a subscription product may be cheaper over time.

What is the alternative to splitting a 20 GB file?

If you have direct network access to the recipient, a peer-to-peer tool that runs on both endpoints can be faster than any upload-then-download service. If not, a paid transfer service with chunked uploads is the most stable route.

How long does a 20 GB transfer actually take, end to end?

On 100 Mbps upstream and 100 Mbps downstream, around 35m for the upload and 35m for the download, plus splitting and rejoining time. On slower lines it is dominated by upload time, often several hours.

Send a 20 GB file.

20 GB is well past the quik.space single-file ceiling of 5 GB. The pattern that works is splitting the file into four chunks under 5 GB each with a tool like 7-Zip, Keka, or split, then sending each chunk through quik.space at $5 apiece. The recipient rejoins them with the same tool. Total cost is $20, paid once, with no subscription. For mission-critical work, hash the original before splitting and verify on the other end.

How to send a 20 GB file

Drop the file on the quik.space drop zone above.
The drop zone refuses single files over 5 GB. Split with 7-Zip, Keka, or split, then drop each chunk.
Copy the share link when the upload finishes and send it to the recipient.

How long does a 20 GB upload take?

Connection speed	Estimated upload time
10 Mbps	5h 57m
50 Mbps	1h 11m
100 Mbps	35m 47s
1 Gbps	3m 35s

Estimates assume 80% of theoretical throughput to account for protocol overhead. Real-world times vary with Wi-Fi quality and other traffic on the line.

What can you fit in 20 GB?

A full feature film master at high bitrate, multiple language tracks
A multi-day photo shoot bundled in RAW for archival handoff
A complete software application installer with bundled runtimes
A large dataset for machine learning, image or text corpus
A multi-session DAW project with every take preserved

What does it cost?

20 GB is past the quik.space single-file cap of 5 GB. The recommended approach is splitting the file into chunks under 5 GB with a tool like 7-Zip on Windows, Keka on macOS, or split on Linux, and sending each chunk separately. The recipient rejoins them with the same tool.

Private by default

quik.space does not train AI on your files. We do not read them. We do not index them. The file is visible only to whoever holds the share link, and it auto-deletes when the clock runs out. WeTransfer changed its terms in July 2025 to allow AI training on user files. We made the opposite call and put it in writing.
