FileFlare FAQ

What is FileFlare?

FileFlare is a secure and intuitive file-sharing platform designed to make uploading, sharing, and downloading files effortless. Our goal is to offer a dependable service for sharing various types of content, including documents, images, and videos, while prioritizing the security of your data.

Is FileFlare secure?

Absolutely. At FileFlare, we prioritize the safety of your files. We utilize encryption to safeguard your data during both transfer and storage. To further protect your information, we advise against sharing sensitive data unless absolutely necessary. Rest assured, encryption keys are securely stored in our databases, and our hosting provider does not have access to your data.

Why are there ads on FileFlare?

To sustain the operational costs of FileFlare, we display advertisements. Ad revenue helps cover expenses such as server maintenance, development, and customer support. We aim to ensure that ads do not interfere with your user experience, keeping them as unobtrusive as possible.

Are there any limits on file sizes or types?

No, there are no limits on file sizes or types.

How long does my file stay on FileFlare?

Files will remain on FileFlare until deleted by our hosting provider.

Is hotlinking allowed?

Hotlinking is not permitted. The temporary folder is cleared every 20 minutes. While you can use our service for Discord embeds, be aware that Discord will scrape and store the image on its own servers.

Where does FileFlare offer unlimited storage?

We are leaching from some big cloud provider. We recommend using it for non-essential files. For primary storage needs, consider other solutions.
