FileHub FAQ

Answers for sending large files online, fixing file too large for email errors, uploading folders, sharing videos, and creating temporary download links.

What is FileHub?

FileHub is a simple browser-based file transfer service. You can upload files, folders, videos, ZIP files, PDFs, images, Excel files, and documents, then share them using one temporary download link.

What should I do if my file is too large for email?

If Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, or another email service says your attachment is too large, you can upload the file to FileHub instead. FileHub creates a download link that you can paste into your email, message, or chat without attaching the large file directly.

Why does email say my attachment is too large?

Most email providers have attachment size limits. Large videos, folders, presentations, design files, and ZIP files often exceed those limits. A file transfer link is usually easier than trying to compress the file or split it into multiple emails.

Can I send large video files with FileHub?

Yes. FileHub can be used to send video files, media folders, recordings, and other large files online. Upload the video, create a download link, and share that link with your recipient.

Can I upload folders?

Yes. On desktop, FileHub supports folder uploads and drag-and-drop folder transfers. Uploaded files are bundled into a clean ZIP download link so recipients can download everything together.

What file types does FileHub support?

FileHub is designed for common files like PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint files, images, PNGs, JPGs, JPEGs, ZIP files, videos, audio files, and folders.

Do I need an account to send files?

No. Free transfers can be created without signing up. Creating an account lets you track recent transfers, copy old links, and delete active transfers before they expire.

How long do FileHub links last?

Free FileHub links last 4 days. Pro plans are designed for longer expiry options, including 7-day and 14-day links, depending on the selected plan.

Are files deleted automatically?

Yes. FileHub is built for temporary file sharing. Files are automatically deleted after their expiry period, which helps keep sharing simple and avoids permanent cloud storage clutter.

Is FileHub an alternative to WeTransfer?

FileHub is built for a similar need: sending files online with a simple download link. It focuses on clean file sharing, temporary transfers, folder uploads, mobile support, and an easy no-headache experience.
