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 TestFlight accept the IPA after I share it?

Yes, you upload it directly to App Store Connect via Transporter or Xcode. quik.space just delivers the file; Apple's tooling handles the TestFlight ingestion.

Can the recipient install the IPA directly on an iPhone?

Only via TestFlight, Apple Configurator, or sideloading tools like AltStore. iOS does not install IPAs from a generic download.

Does quik.space re-sign the IPA?

No. We do not touch the signature or any contents. Byte-for-byte.

What about the entitlements and provisioning profile?

Both stay inside the IPA. We do not extract or modify.

How to send an IPA file.

IPA is what Xcode produces when you archive an iOS app. The files are big and iOS does not install them directly. quik.space takes the IPA byte-for-byte, signature and entitlements intact, and gives the recipient a clean download link to forward into Transporter, Xcode, or TestFlight.

What is a iOS IPA app?

iOS IPA app files use the .ipa extension and the application/octet-stream MIME type. The format sits in the dev category. Typical files run 20 MB - 4 GB, which is well above what most email services will accept as an attachment.

Why you can’t email a iOS IPA app

IPA is the iOS app package. Email cannot carry it, and iOS itself does not install IPAs directly from a download unless you go through TestFlight, AltStore, or sideloading.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 iOS IPA app

quik.space stores the IPA byte-for-byte. The developer uploads, the link goes to a colleague, and the colleague forwards to App Store Connect for TestFlight distribution. We do not re-sign or modify the package. 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.
