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.

How big is a 2 GB file in real terms?

Roughly a full-length 1080p movie at typical streaming bitrate, or about 200 RAW photos from a 45-megapixel camera, or a code repository with several gigabytes of build artifacts included.

What is the cheapest way to send a 2 GB file?

On quik.space, $5 one-shot through the XL upload SKU. No monthly plan. If you would rather not pay anything, you can also split the file into smaller chunks with 7-Zip or tar and send each piece on the free tier, then have the recipient rejoin them. The $5 saves the splitting step.

Is the upload progress bar accurate?

Yes. The bar reflects bytes actually sent, not a generic animation. If you see it stall, your connection is the bottleneck, not the page.

Can two people upload to the same link?

No. Each upload creates its own share link. If multiple people need to contribute files to a shared bundle, create a 30-day space for $5 and share that space link instead.

Does the recipient need to install anything?

No. The share page works in any modern browser on any device. Common formats render an inline preview, everything else downloads as the original file.

Send a 2 GB file.

2 GB is inside the XL upload tier on quik.space, covered by the same $5 one-shot that handles any file up to 5 GB. The drop zone takes the file, sends a share link, and clears the slate. No signup, no account, no monthly bill. The link defaults to 72 hours and can be extended for $2 per 30 days. Your file is private to the link holder, is not used as training data for any model, and is permanently purged when the clock runs out.

How to send a 2 GB file

Drop the file on the quik.space drop zone above.
The drop zone detects 2 GB and surfaces a one-shot $5 payment for the matching SKU.
Copy the share link when the upload finishes and send it to the recipient.

How long does a 2 GB upload take?

Connection speed	Estimated upload time
10 Mbps	35m 47s
50 Mbps	7m 9s
100 Mbps	3m 35s
1 Gbps	21s

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 2 GB?

A 20-minute 4K MP4 export at 14 Mbps from a documentary cut
A finished Pro Tools or Logic session bundled with audio files
A 200-shot RAW event gallery from a Nikon Z8
A zipped Xcode or Android Studio project including build artifacts
A high-resolution 3D scan in OBJ or USDZ for product review

What does it cost?

2 GB sits in the XL upload tier. One payment of $5 unlocks any single file from 500 MB up to 5 GB. No subscription, no auto-renew, no stored card.

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.
