What formats do you accept?
—jpg, bmp, tiff, png, gif, pdf, ps, doc, xls, ppt, zip, avi, mpeg, txt, rtf, swf, ico, xml, wp, bzip, gzip, gtar, qt, java, jar, jad and probably a few more.
What is the file size limit?
—Approximately 7 megabytes.
How many files can I upload?
—As many as you want to.
So what exactly happens when I upload a file?
—We will provide you with a link to view the file (eg. www.freefilehoster.com/view_file.php?id=1&verify_view=321829) and a link which you can use to delete the file (eg. www.freefilehoster.com/delete_file.php?id=1&verify_delete=423423). You can opt to have these links emailed to you to save you from writing them down.
You will also then be asked if you want to make the files publically viewable (via the Browse section of this website).
I want to upload a file with a different format, how can I do that?
—You can try, but it most likely wont work. Email the admin to request that the file type be added to our "allowed" list.
Can anyone access my file(s) ?
—Yes - if you give them the html link to the file.
People cannot randomly access your file though, unless they are really good at guessing a random verification code OR unless you have set the file to be publically viewable via the Browse section of this website.
Why don't you allow mp3's to be uploaded ?
—Unfortunately mp3's are just too risky from a copyright point of view. We do not want freefilehoster.com to become a trading ground for illegal music sharing.
How long will my file stay on the server?
—The file will stay on our server until a) you delete the file b) the file is not accessed for 60 days or more c) we delete the file because it violated our terms and conditions or d) until we run out of disk space/bandwith and close the site down :)
I accidentally clicked on the link to delete the file.. can I get it back?
—No, the file has been deleted from our server. Reupload it.
Whats stopping someone from randomly deleting or viewing my file ?
—Each file has a unique ID number (eg. 18). To view this file, there is an associated verification code which is randomly generated when you uploaded the file. And another verification code applies to be able to delete the file. It would be very difficult for someone to delete/view the file without knowing these codes.
I like your website, can I help out with server costs ?
—Absolutely, we welcome all donations (see the Paypal link to the right).
Someone has uploaded a file which I feel is inappropriate or it violates copyright laws. What should I do?
—Please click here to report abuse. We will promptly investigate and delete the file if appropriate.
