File.io is a straightforward file sharing service that allows users to upload files up to 4 GB and share them via a link. The service is designed to be convenient, anonymous, and secure, making it suitable for sharing sensitive information.
File.io prioritizes security and privacy, ensuring that all communications are encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. Files are stored encrypted on servers, and no personal identifying information is collected or stored. The service does not maintain backups of shared files, and files are permanently deleted after download or expiration.
File.io is ideal for sharing temporary files, such as large documents or sensitive information, without the need for creating an account or storing files long-term. It's also useful for circumventing file size limits in team chat apps.
The service provides an easy-to-use REST API that allows users to upload files and set expiration dates. The API returns a link that can be used to download the file until it expires.
