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.

Should I send just the .als or the whole project folder?

Send the whole project folder, zipped. Ableton needs the Samples folder, freeze files, and any user library content to open without missing media warnings.

Will Max for Live patches travel with the set?

If you collected all (File > Collect All and Save), yes. Otherwise the recipient needs the same M4L devices installed.

What if the project zip is over 5 GB?

Bounce frozen tracks down to flat audio first, or strip unused samples with Ableton's Project Manager.

Can the recipient open the ALS without Ableton?

No, the ALS is a proprietary Ableton format. The recipient needs Ableton Live installed.

How to send an Ableton Live set.

An Ableton .als file is tiny, but the project folder with samples, frozen tracks, and Max for Live patches is the part that matters. quik.space stores the zipped project byte-for-byte. The recipient unpacks and opens the set with every reference intact.

What is a Ableton Live Set?

Ableton Live Set files use the .als extension with no single standard MIME type. The format sits in the audio category. Typical files run 5 MB - 50 MB (set only), which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a Ableton Live Set

An ALS file is small on its own, but the full project folder with samples and frozen tracks can hit several gigabytes. Email won't carry the project archive.Slack, Discord, and most other workplace tools have similar caps, often around 1 GB for free tiers and with aggressive per-channel storage limits. Even when the file fits, it counts against the recipient’s mailbox quota forever.

How quik.space handles Ableton Live Set

quik.space takes a zipped Ableton project (set + samples + freeze files) byte-for-byte. The recipient unpacks, opens the .als, and every clip lines up because the relative paths inside the zip survive. The share page renders an inline HTML5 audio player, so the recipient streams the file before downloading the original.

The file lives for 72 hours by default and then enters a 7-day grace period. We do not train AI on your files. We do not share them with third parties. After grace, the bytes are permanently purged from storage. Read the full policy on privacy.
