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 macOS Gatekeeper warn the recipient?

If the app inside is unsigned or not notarized, yes. Sign and notarize before distributing widely.

Can a Windows user open the DMG?

Not directly. DMG is macOS-only. Tools like 7-Zip can extract some, but it is not a recipient-friendly workflow.

Is the DMG content scanned?

We do a SHA-256 hash check against a malware blocklist. The contents are not unpacked.

What is the size cap?

5 GB hard ceiling. Most consumer-facing DMGs fit.

How to send a DMG file.

DMG is how Mac apps are delivered. The files are heavy because they carry the whole installer payload. quik.space takes the DMG byte-for-byte and gives the recipient a clean macOS-ready download link.

What is a Apple DMG disk image?

Apple DMG disk image files use the .dmg extension and the application/x-apple-diskimage MIME type. The format sits in the dev category. Typical files run 10 MB - 5 GB, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a Apple DMG disk image

DMG is macOS's app delivery format. Pro applications, design tools, and creative suites can hit 1 to 5 GB. Email cannot deliver them.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 Apple DMG disk image

quik.space stores the .dmg byte-for-byte. The recipient on macOS double-clicks to mount and runs the installer. 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.
