More detail
When to use a text sharing link
Share text online when chat messages are too short and email is too slow. Paste the text, send the link, and let the recipient open the full content in one click.
Share text without filling chat
A text sharing link keeps long output out of the conversation. The message stays short, and the recipient can open the full note, snippet, or log when they are ready. Online text sharing works the same way in every channel: the link is small enough for a chat message, an email, a ticket comment, or an SMS.
Good text sharing use cases
This works well for debugging logs, config snippets, stack traces, release notes, temporary notes, and rough drafts. Plain text up to 80 MB can be shared from the same form.
Text sharing without an account
Most text share sites either add accounts and workspaces or keep pastes around forever. FilePaste does neither. There is nothing to sign up for, and every text share online has a fixed access window of 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days. When the window ends, the link stops working and stored data is deleted on the next access attempt.
How recipients see shared text
The person opening the link sees the text on a simple shared-text page with a raw view for copying or downloading the content directly. Nothing is rendered or executed, so shared configs, markup, and code snippets arrive exactly as pasted.
Text sharing or file upload?
Use text sharing when readability in the browser matters. Use file upload when the content needs to stay in file form. If your starting point is a text file on disk rather than clipboard content, the upload text page covers that angle. Either way, the link stops working after the access window you choose.

FAQ
Page-specific questions
These answers match the use case on this page and the actual product limits.
Can I share formatted documents?
This page is best for plain text. If you need layout or embedded media, share a file instead.
Will the text stay forever?
No. The link stops working based on the access window you choose before upload. Stored data is then deleted.
Do I need an account to share text online?
No. Paste the text, choose an access window, and copy the link. There is no sign-up, dashboard, or history view.
Can the person I send the link to edit the text?
No. Shared text is read-only. If the content changes, create a new share and send the new link.
