Send a 5 GB file.
5 GB is the absolute maximum on quik.space. A single $5 payment unlocks the upload, no subscription, no monthly fee. The drop zone takes the file directly in the browser, streams it to storage, and returns a share link as soon as it finishes. The link lives for 72 hours by default and can be renewed in 30-day chunks for $2. If your file is over 5 GB, the recommendation is to split it with 7-Zip or a similar tool and send each chunk separately.

How to send a 5 GB file
- Drop the file on the quik.space drop zone above.
- The drop zone detects 5 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.

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.
Frequently asked
- What is the maximum file size on quik.space?
- 5 GB per single file. That is the hard ceiling at any price. We pick 5 GB intentionally to keep upload reliability high, since browser uploads above that size start to fail noticeably more often without resumable infrastructure.
- What if my file is exactly 5 GB?
- It uploads. The limit is inclusive at 5 GB on the nose. If your file is even one byte over 5 GB, the drop zone refuses it and asks you to shrink or split it.
- What if my file is over 5 GB?
- Split it. 7-Zip on Windows, Keka or split on macOS, or split on Linux can break the file into chunks under 5 GB each. Send each chunk on quik.space, then have the recipient rejoin them on their end. For truly massive transfers in the tens of gigabytes, a dedicated service handles that workflow better.
- How long does a 5 GB upload take?
- On 100 Mbps upstream, around 8m 57s. On 50 Mbps, about 17m 54s. On 10 Mbps, plan for roughly 1h 29m. Your wired vs Wi-Fi setup matters a lot at this size, ethernet is meaningfully more stable.
- Is $5 the most quik.space will ever charge for a single send?
- Yes, for the upload itself. There are no per-byte surcharges and no bandwidth fees on download. The only other costs are optional, $2 to extend a file's life by 30 days, and $5 to create a 30-day space that holds multiple files at once.
