Is FileExpress free to use?

Cloud transfer is free for files totaling up to 100 MiB, three times daily. Beyond the free allowance, the entire file size is rounded up to 1 GiB units at ¥110 including tax per unit, capped at ¥330 per transfer. Direct P2P is free.

Do I need to register?

No. Just select your files on the home page to get a receive code. Recipients also do not need to install an app or register.

How large can my files be?

Direct P2P mode connects browsers directly, so the service imposes no size limit. Cloud transfer mode allows up to 5GB per transfer.

Are transferred files stored on the server?

Direct P2P does not store files in the cloud. Depending on the connection, traffic may pass through a relay server. Cloud transfer stores encrypted files for the chosen period (1, 3, 7, 15 or 30 days), then deletes them automatically.

Can I use it on a smartphone?

Yes. It runs entirely in a browser, so smartphones are supported. To receive files sent from a computer, just scan the QR code displayed on the screen.

No. There are no ads, even when using the service for free.
