Here’s a scenario: you’re on a call, someone asks for a file, and you say “let me send that over.” You open WeTransfer, drag in a 500MB video, and watch the progress bar crawl. Meanwhile, you’re telling the other person to check their email in a few minutes.
We thought that was backwards.
The Link Comes First
When you visit FileGrab, your shareable link exists immediately. Copy it, paste it in chat, send it in an email. Then start uploading. The recipient can open that link right now and watch files appear as you add them.
No waiting for uploads to complete. No “I’ll send it when it’s done.” No follow-up messages with links.
Real Use Cases
During calls: Share the link while talking, upload files as you discuss them. The other person sees them arrive in real-time.
Collecting from others: Create a link, enable collaboration, share it with your team. Everyone uploads to the same place. You see files appear as they come in.
Work in progress: Share a link, upload the first draft, keep adding files throughout the day. Recipients always have access to the latest version.
How It Works
FileGrab creates a unique 8-character link the moment you arrive. That link points to your upload space. Files you add go into that space. Anyone with the link can view what’s there.
It sounds simple because it is. We just reversed the order that every other service uses.
Try It
Visit filegrab.link/new, grab your link, share it with someone, and start uploading. Watch their reaction when files appear without you sending another message.
