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.

Will Google Play Protect flag my APK?

An unsigned or unknown APK gets flagged on install. Sign your APK with a proper keystore before distribution to reduce friction.

Should I use AAB (Android App Bundle) instead?

For Play Store, yes. For direct sharing, APK is what the device installs. quik.space treats both the same.

Is the APK contents scanned?

We hash against a malware-hash blocklist. We do not unpack the APK.

Can iOS users install this?

No. APK is Android only. For iOS use IPA + TestFlight, or share via App Store.

How to send an APK file.

What is a Android APK?

Android APK files use the .apk extension and the application/vnd.android.package-archive MIME type. The format sits in the dev category. Typical files run 10 MB - 500 MB, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a Android APK

APKs are Android app packages. Most mail services strip executable attachments. Android also requires sideloading to be enabled before the recipient can install.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 Android APK

quik.space stores the APK byte-for-byte. The recipient downloads on Android, taps to install (after enabling Unknown Sources), and the package runs the same as if downloaded from any other source. The share page does not preview archives or installers. The recipient downloads the file with one click.

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.

Common use cases
