Send a file with a link

Sharing a file by link is often easier than resending attachments. You upload once, then reuse the same URL wherever the conversation happens.

Before you share
  • Uploaded to FilePaste servers
  • Anyone with the link can access
  • Not end-to-end encrypted
  • Max 25 MB per share
  • Access windows: 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, 30 days

Files and pasted text are limited to 25 MB. Links stop working after the access window you choose. Stored data is deleted when an expired link is next accessed. Learn more about retention.

What you need to know

Best for

Support tickets, team chat, vendor handoff, and any workflow where people already talk in links.

Why it works

One upload can be pasted into several messages instead of creating several copies of the same attachment.

What to know

Anyone with the link can access the file while it is active.

Size limit

Files larger than 25 MB need a different tool.

More detail

When a file link beats an attachment

Attachments are fine until the same file has to move through email, chat, and an issue tracker. A short link is often cleaner because it gives everyone one reference point.

The trade-off is that the recipient needs to open the link while it is still active. Choose an access window that matches the pace of the conversation.
