The Problem
Every file sharing service seems to have forgotten what they're for. Cluttered interfaces, confusing permissions, ads everywhere, recipients forced to create accounts just to download a single file. You wait for uploads to finish before you can even share a link.
We thought: what if you could share the link first, then upload whenever you're ready?
Our Solution
FileGrab flips the script. Your shareable link exists the moment you land on the page. Copy it, send it, and start uploading. Recipients can open the link and watch files appear in real-time as you add them.
No ads. No account required for downloads. No confusing permission dialogs. Just drop files, share link, done.
What Makes Us Different
Most file-sharing tools optimize for account growth. FileGrab optimizes for delivery: create a link instantly, upload anytime, and let recipients access files without creating accounts or sitting through ads.
Only the link owner needs an account to manage their storage and links. Everyone else (collaborators, recipients, viewers) gets full access with zero friction.
Perfect for Events
Weddings, receptions, birthdays, conferences - moments happen fast and everyone has a camera in their pocket. With FileGrab, you create one link, generate a QR code, and let guests upload their photos and videos directly. No app to download, no account to create.
Print the QR code on table cards, project it on a screen, or add it to your invitations. Guests simply scan and upload. You get everyone's memories in one place, without chasing people for files weeks later. Get notified instantly when new photos arrive.
Works With Any Video
Received a MOV file from an iPhone? MKV from a camera? AVI from older devices? FileGrab plays them all directly in your browser - no downloads, no conversions, no VLC needed. We automatically transcode videos for instant playback, with animated previews when you hover.
Preview Any File
FileGrab doesn't just store files. It understands them. PDFs render inline so recipients can read documents without downloading. Audio files play directly in the browser with waveform visualization. Videos stream instantly in any format, from iPhone MOVs to camera MKVs. Even text files, XML, and HTML display natively.
Collect Data With Forms
Need to gather RSVPs, feedback, or contact information? Build a form with our drag-and-drop editor and share it with a link or embed it on your website. Export submissions as CSV or JSON. No third-party form service needed. It's built right into FileGrab.
AI-Powered Transcription
Upload any audio or video file and FileGrab will generate a text transcript using AI. Search through spoken content, copy quotes, or download the full transcript alongside your media files.
Know Who's Watching
Pro users get detailed statistics for every link: how many people viewed it, unique visitors (privacy-friendly - no IP tracking), and download counts per file. Upload notifications let you know the moment someone adds files - choose instant, hourly, or daily digests.
Built on the Edge
FileGrab runs entirely on Cloudflare's global edge network. That means:
- Fast downloads from 300+ locations worldwide
- No central server to slow things down or go offline
- Enterprise-grade security and DDoS protection
- Zero egress fees so we can offer generous limits
Fair Pricing
Our free tier gives you 500 MB with no ads, no tricks. Need more? Pro is $10/month for 10 GB with advanced features like collaborative links, password protection, and permanent links.
No hidden fees. No "contact sales" for basic features. Just straightforward pricing.
Security Built In
Executable file uploads are automatically scanned for malware, protecting you and everyone you share with. If something dangerous is detected, it's quarantined before it can spread. You're notified immediately so you can investigate. No extra steps, no settings to enable - it just works in the background while you focus on sharing.
Privacy First
Your privacy matters to us. We don't store or track your IP address, we don't sell your data, and we don't track you across the web. For link statistics, we use anonymous, one-way hashes that count unique visits without identifying who you are.
Pro users can take privacy even further with end-to-end encryption. Your files are encrypted in your browser before they ever leave your device, and the decryption key stays in the URL - never on our servers. We literally cannot access your encrypted files. Zero-knowledge, maximum privacy.
We use essential cookies and anonymous analytics to improve the service. No advertising trackers, no data sold. Just file sharing, done right.
