pricing & plans
How much does it cost?
Stickr has two ways to use it. Free: upload files up to 2 GB at no cost — links last 24 hours. For files over 2 GB, you pay $0.10 per GB as a one-time fee and links last 30 days. Pro ($2/month): no file size limits, no per-transfer fees, all links last 30 days, and you get 100 GB of storage to manage your links.
What do I get with Pro?
Pro removes all per-transfer fees. Every upload gets a 30-day link regardless of file size. You get 100 GB of total storage, up to 20 portals, and the Dashboard — view, rename, share, password-protect, and delete your active links and portals. Per-file download analytics show you who downloaded, when, and from where. Cancel anytime from the Dashboard.
How does the 100 GB storage work?
It's a pool, not a per-file limit. All your active files — including files received through portals — count toward the 100 GB cap. As links expire after 30 days, the storage frees up automatically. You can also delete files early from the Dashboard to reclaim space.
Can I cancel Pro?
Yes — from the Dashboard. Cancellation is immediate. Your existing links keep their original expiry, but new uploads follow free tier rules.
Does the recipient need to pay or sign in?
No. Recipients just click the link and download. No account, no sign-up, no app required. That's the point — no walled gardens.
uploads & files
What's the maximum file size?
100 GB per file. You can also upload entire folders or multiple files at once — they share a single download link.
How long do download links last?
Free uploads (under 2 GB): 24 hours. Paid per-transfer uploads (over 2 GB): 30 days. Pro uploads: 30 days. After expiry, files are permanently deleted.
What happens if my connection drops?
Your upload resumes from where it left off. Every chunk is tracked on the server. Just refresh or revisit the page, select the same file, and the upload continues — only the missing chunks are sent.
Can I close the tab during an upload?
Yes. The upload will pause, but your session is saved. When you come back, you'll see a prompt to resume. Select the same file and it picks up where it stopped.
Can I send multiple files or a folder?
Yes. Select multiple files or drop an entire folder. They upload together and you get one link. Recipients can download files individually or as a zip. Folders keep their name in the Dashboard.
What can I upload in under 5 minutes?
On a 100 Mbps connection: about 3.5 GB. On 200 Mbps: about 7 GB. On 500 Mbps: about 17 GB. The progress bar shows a real-time estimate once your upload starts.
portals
What is a portal?
A portal is a receive link. You create one, share it with someone, and they can upload files to you without needing an account. Files arrive in your Dashboard. Think of it as a dropbox for receiving files from anyone.
How do I create a portal?
Sign in, click "receive files" on the homepage or go to the Dashboard's "Your uploads" tab. Give your portal a name, optionally add a message and password, and you'll get a shareable link. Share it via WhatsApp, email, Discord — anything.
How many portals can I create?
Free users get 2 portals. Pro users get up to 20. You can deactivate or delete portals anytime from the Dashboard.
Do portal uploads count toward my storage?
Yes. Files uploaded to your portal follow your plan's rules — free owners get 2 GB max with 24-hour expiry, Pro owners get 100 GB with 30-day expiry. All portal files count toward your storage pool.
security & privacy
Is my file encrypted?
Files are encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest on Cloudflare R2. We never read, scan, or analyze your file contents. Download links use unguessable tokens.
Can I password-protect my files?
Yes. From the Dashboard, you can set a password on any download link. Recipients will need to enter the password before downloading. You can also password-protect portals so only people with the password can upload.
Can I see who downloaded my files?
Yes. Each file in the Dashboard has per-file analytics showing download count, page views, country breakdown, and recent activity. We track the country from Cloudflare headers — no IP addresses or personal data about the downloader.
Do I need an account?
No. You can upload, download, upload to portals, and use P2P rooms without signing in. Optional Google sign-in lets you manage your links and portals in the Dashboard and subscribe to Pro.
p2p rooms
What is the P2P room?
The room feature sends files directly between devices — peer-to-peer, no server upload. It includes encrypted chat. Both devices need to be online at the same time. Great for quick transfers when you don't need a link.
