How to Share Files Online for Free

Need to send a file to someone quickly? Whether it's a document for work, photos for a friend, or a video too large for email, Avfile lets you share files online in under a minute — no registration, no email address, no software to install. Here's exactly how to do it.

Go to Avfile.io

Open avfile.io in any web browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, or any other. It works on phones, tablets, and computers. There's nothing to download or install.

Select and Upload Your Files

Click "Select Files to Upload" and pick the files you want to share. You can upload up to 100 files at a time, each up to 100MB. Avfile supports every file type: PDF, Word documents (DOCX), Excel spreadsheets (XLSX), PowerPoint (PPTX), images (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP), videos (MP4, MOV, MKV), audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC), archives (ZIP, RAR, 7Z), and anything else.

Tip: Need to keep your files private? Toggle on password protection before uploading. Enter a password, and only people who know it can access your files. The password is encrypted with SHA-256 — even Avfile can't see it.

Copy the Link and Share It

After the upload finishes (usually a few seconds), you'll see a shareable link. Click "Copy Link" and send it however you want — paste it in an email, a WhatsApp message, a Telegram chat, Slack, Discord, or anywhere else. Recipients can preview files directly in their browser and download them instantly.

Good to know: Your links never expire. Unlike some services that delete files after 7 days, Avfile keeps your files available permanently.

When Is Free File Sharing Useful?

File Too Large for Email

Gmail, Outlook, and most email services limit attachments to 25MB. If your file is larger than that, upload it to Avfile, copy the link, and paste it into your email. The recipient clicks the link to download — no size limit worries.

Sharing with Someone Who Doesn't Have the Same App

Not everyone uses Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud. Avfile links work in any browser on any device. No app needed, no account needed — the recipient just clicks the link.

Sending Files Anonymously

Sometimes you don't want to share your identity. Avfile requires no registration and collects no personal information. You can share files without revealing who you are.

Quick One-Time Transfers

Don't want to sign up for a cloud storage service just to send one file? Avfile is perfect for quick, one-off file transfers. Upload, share, done.
