What is the maximum size of a transfer?

Guest users can upload files or folders up to 10 GB. Uploads expire after 7 days.

Free accounts can upload files or folders up to 10 GB. Uploads expire after 30 days.

Hypeshare Pro users can send up to 1 TB. All other limits associated with free uploads don't apply. Moreover, you can set a custom expiration date, set a password, create fully-featured Photobooks and more.

Is Hypeshare free?

Yes, Hypeshare offers a free version (forever) that lets you send or receive files up to 10 GB per transfer. You can choose to password-protect your transfers to lock download access. Transfers are available for 7 days before automatically expiring.

Do I have to register to use the service?

No, you don't need to be registered to use Hypeshare - either to send or download files. You can share files free of charge and without creating an account, with a limit of 10 GB per transfer.

Are my files secure?

The security of your data is our priority!

Your files are not publicly accessible by default. Only someone in possession of the download link can access them. Moreover, we employ strong in-transit and at-rest encryption to keep your data safe. Your personal data is encrypted in transit using SSL/TLS (https) as well as at rest using the advanced 256-bit encryption standard, and each encryption key is encrypted with a regularly rotating set of master keys.

Is it possible to recover an expired transfer?

Once a file transfer has expired, the file(s) are permanently deleted and technically not recoverable.

We do not retain files or practice hidden file retention when a transfer has expired, so there is no point in contacting support to recover files from a transfer that has already expired.
