Terms

last updated: may 3, 2026

tl;dr

Use Stickafile to collect and share files through portals. Don't share anything illegal or harmful. Files expire and get deleted automatically. Buy a pack for 30-day retention, bigger files, and more portals — credit never expires.

The service

Stickafile is a file-receiving service built around portals. You create a portal — one link that anyone can upload files to, without needing an account on their end. Files arrive in your Dashboard, where you can download, organize, share, or delete them. Anyone you share a file link with downloads without an account or sign-in.

Pricing

The pack is the main way to use Stickafile. Buy capacity up front — 500 GB for $18, with other sizes available (100 GB for $7, 1 TB for $28). Pack portals accept files up to 10 GB each while your credit covers them, files are kept 30 days, and pack holders can create up to 20 portals. Pack credit never expires. Credit is deducted from your balance as files are uploaded into your portals.

Free: up to 2 portals accepting files up to 2 GB, kept for 24 hours. No payment required.

Packs and billing

Packs are one-time purchases processed through Dodo Payments. The credit you buy is added to your account immediately and does not expire. There is no subscription and no recurring charge. Packs are non-refundable once delivered; unused credit remains in your account indefinitely and can be used at any time.

Portals

Portals are shared links you create to receive or share files. By default, a portal is a shared room — anyone with the link can upload, view, and download files in the portal. Owners can also create portals in private inbox mode, where uploaders can submit files but only the owner sees them. Anyone uploading to a portal must provide a name (free-text, self-reported) which is shown alongside their files. Files uploaded through portals are debited from the portal owner's pack credit where applicable (30-day expiry); if the owner has no pack credit or the file fits within the free tier, the file uses the free 24-hour expiry. You can optionally password-protect a portal. Portal owners can deactivate or delete portals from the Dashboard, and delete individual files. Don't share portal links anywhere you wouldn't want them seen — anyone with the link gets the access the portal mode allows.

No account required to upload or download

Uploading to a portal and downloading files require no account. Creating portals and buying packs require signing in with Google. We use Google only for authentication — we don't access your contacts, drive, or other Google data.

Acceptable use

You may not use this service to share content that is illegal, harmful, abusive, harassing, or violates another person's rights. You may not distribute malware, phishing content, or spam. You may not attempt to abuse the service, disrupt its operation, or circumvent its limits.

Your files

You own the files in your portals. We don't claim any rights to your content. We don't read, scan, or analyze file contents. Files are stored on Cloudflare R2 and automatically deleted after expiry — 24 hours for free-tier files, 30 days for pack-credited files. Signed-in users can delete files early from the Dashboard.

Capacity

Pack usage is limited by your credit balance, not by a storage quota. As files are uploaded into your portals, credit is deducted; when credit runs low, you can top up with another pack. Uploads your balance can't cover are declined. Once received, files sit on our storage until their 30-day expiry (or 24 hours for free-tier files). We reserve the right to adjust pack pricing or sizes with reasonable notice.

Payments

Pack purchases are processed through Dodo Payments, which acts as the Merchant of Record. Dodo handles tax collection and compliance. Pack purchases are one-time and non-refundable once delivered; unused credit remains in your account indefinitely.

Availability

We aim to keep the service available but don't guarantee uptime. The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We're not liable for data loss, failed transfers, or downtime.

Termination

We reserve the right to block access to the service or remove content from accounts that violate these terms. Uploaded files will be deleted after their expiry period regardless.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operators of this service are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
