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 my EXE be flagged as malware?

quik.space hashes every upload against a known-bad SHA-256 blocklist. Clean EXEs pass through. Antivirus on the recipient's machine may still warn for any unsigned EXE; that is normal.

Should I sign my EXE before sharing?

Yes, a signed EXE avoids Microsoft SmartScreen warnings. quik.space does not sign or modify the file.

What about .msi files?

.msi installers ride the same flow. We treat them the same as .exe.

5 GB hard ceiling. Most installers fit. Game installers above 5 GB need a CDN.

What is a Windows EXE installer?

Windows EXE installer files use the .exe, .msi extension and the application/vnd.microsoft.portable-executable MIME type. The format sits in the dev category. Typical files run 5 MB - 2 GB, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a Windows EXE installer

Email services aggressively strip .exe attachments because they are a classic malware vector. Even when allowed, large installers (modern games, Adobe Creative Cloud) far exceed any email cap.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 Windows EXE installer

quik.space stores the .exe byte-for-byte. The recipient downloads and runs it normally. We do not unpack or modify 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.
