The story so far

Homepage of FileShot

FileShot is a web-based file sharing platform built on zero-knowledge encryption principles. Files are encrypted entirely in your browser using AES-256-GCM before any data leaves your device, and the decryption key lives only in the URL fragment, never transmitted to servers. The platform requires no account to upload and share files, supports files up to 10 GB on the free plan with automatic expiry up to 90 days, and offers additional features like password protection, custom download pages, and a receive inbox on paid plans. Advanced features include peer-to-peer direct transfers via WebRTC, an archive builder for bundling multiple files, and a creator marketplace for selling files.

Questions and answers

How does FileShot encrypt my files?

FileShot uses AES-256-GCM encryption directly in your browser before any data leaves your device. The encryption key is derived from your password using Argon2id (64 MB memory-hard KDF), combined with a random salt. The server receives only ciphertext and cannot decrypt the file.

Do I need an account to upload files?

No, an account is not required to upload and share files. You can drag and drop a file, set optional password and expiry, and get a shareable link instantly. Creating an account is optional and allows you to manage files and access advanced features.

What is the maximum file size I can upload?

Free users can upload up to 10 GB per file with 50 GB total storage. Pro users can upload up to 100 GB per file. Creator users can upload up to 300 GB per file. Professional users can upload up to 500 GB per file. All paid plans include unlimited storage.

How long are files kept before they expire?

Free files are kept for up to 90 days. Pro plan files can be kept for up to 1 year. Creator and Professional plans support unlimited expiry. Files can always be manually deleted from your dashboard at any time.

Is zero-knowledge encryption available on all plans?

Yes, zero-knowledge encryption is included on every plan including the Free tier. Privacy is not a premium feature on FileShot.
