2. How do I share a file using Filifly? #
After uploading your file, Filifly will give you a unique key. You can share this key via email, text, or any messaging platform like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Messenger. The recipient simply needs to enter the key on Filifly’s website to access and download the file.

6. How long does a file stay available after I upload it? #
Once you upload a file to Filifly, it is available for 24 hours. After this period, the file expires and is automatically deleted from Filifly’s servers.
This temporary availability is ideal for sharing files that don’t need to stay online permanently and helps ensure your files remain secure.
7. Can I share files with someone who doesn’t have Filifly? #
Yes! Filifly allows you to share files with anyone, even if they don’t have a Filifly account. The recipient only needs the unique key to download the file. They can access it from any device with an internet connection.
8. How can I get notifications from Filifly on WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, or other platforms? #
Filifly integrates with popular messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, LINE, and Viber for notifications. To receive messages:
- Follow the specific steps to get your chat ID (for example, on Telegram, use the Filifly bot to get your Telegram Chat ID).
- Send a message to Filifly using the respective platform.
- Once you’ve interacted with Filifly in the last 24 hours, you will begin receiving notifications for file updates and alerts.
9. What should I do if I receive an error when uploading or downloading a file? #
If you encounter errors during upload or download:
- Check the file size: Ensure the file size doesn’t exceed the maximum allowed (20MB for free users).
- Verify the key: If you’re trying to download a file, ensure the key is entered correctly and hasn’t expired (keys expire 24 hours after creation).
- Try a different browser: Sometimes browser issues can cause problems. Try using a different browser or clearing your cache.
