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.

Is 4 GB close to the upload limit?

Yes. quik.space caps single files at 5 GB. 4 GB sits inside the XL upload tier with one gigabyte of headroom. If your file is much over 4 GB, double check the size before paying, since 5 GB is a hard ceiling.

Why is 4 GB historically a tricky file size?

FAT32 drives, an older filesystem still common on USB sticks and SD cards, cannot hold a single file over 4 GB. If you are copying a 4 GB file off a phone or camera and hit a write error, that is usually the cause. quik.space has no such limit, it sends the bytes whole.

How long will a 4 GB upload take on a typical office connection?

On 100 Mbps, around 7m 9s. On 50 Mbps, about 14m 19s. On 10 Mbps, plan for over an hour. Wired ethernet generally outperforms Wi-Fi by a noticeable margin at this size.

Can I pause a 4 GB upload and resume it?

Today, no. The browser upload is a single connection. Closing the tab or losing the network cancels the run and you start fresh. If you regularly send files this large, a stable wired connection is the strongest mitigation.

Will quik.space compress a 4 GB file?

No. We send the file byte-for-byte. If you want compression, run it through 7-Zip or a similar tool before uploading. For video, you can usually shave a lot of size by re-encoding through HandBrake without visible quality loss.

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.
