Every Feature You Need.
Nothing You Don't.

LiquidFiles is built around a simple idea: secure file transfer should be easy for everyone and controlled by you. Here's everything that makes that possible.

Core File Transfer

Four ways to move files — each designed for a different scenario, all sharing the same security and control.

Send Files

Any size. To anyone. With a familiar webmail-like interface.

No file size limits

Uploads are split into 100 MB chunks to work around proxy and timeout limitations.

Automatic expiration

Messages expire by date or download count. Files are automatically deleted on expiry.

Zip downloads

Recipients can download multiple files as a single zip archive.

Forwarding controls

Restrict who can download beyond the specified recipients.

Per-user and per-group limits

Control max message size, blocked extensions, and allowed file types by group.

Resend without re-upload

Re-send previously uploaded files to new recipients instantly.

Receive Files

Let anyone send files to you — no registration required.

Filedrop pages

Permanent URLs like /filedrop/hr_applications where anyone can upload. Create as many as you need with individual size limits and file type restrictions.

Personal Filedrops

Each user gets their own Filedrop URL — perfect for email signatures. Use readable email-based URLs or secure random strings.

File Requests

Send a one-time upload link to someone. They upload, you receive — no accounts needed. Cannot be reused, so it's never abused.

FTPdrops

Accept files over FTP from external users and systems. Incoming files are processed just like a Filedrop — ideal for automated workflows and legacy integrations.

Emaildrops

Receive files via email. Attachments are stripped from incoming messages and processed like a Filedrop — no portal login needed for senders.

Share Files & Folders

Persistent shared spaces for projects and collaboration.

User & group access control

Share folders with internal and external teams with fine-grained permissions.

Folder uploads & sub-folders

Upload entire folder structures directly from the browser. Download folders as zip archives.

File versioning

Keep as many revisions of each file as you need.

FileLinks

Shareable links to individual files with built-in authentication.

Share anywhere

Post links in forums, on web pages, or in messages when you don't know the recipient in advance.

Per-link settings

Each FileLink has its own expiration and authentication settings.

Security & Compliance

LiquidFiles is secure by default. Every deployment ships with hardened infrastructure, strong encryption, and comprehensive audit logging — no configuration required.
