This is a free file sharing and bookmarking service.
- Maximum file size: 100MB
- Maximum file expiration: 2 years (up to 10 years for logged-in users)
- File password protection: Yes (and this encrypts the file at rest)
- Anonymous uploads: Yes (even for logged-in users)
- Logged-in users can manage, delete, and extend expiry of their uploads
- Logged-in users can choose to upload files anonymously (file is still in their account, but their username is hidden from others)
- Non-anonymous files show the uploader's username
- Logging: None
- Javascript: No
- Terms: No illegal content like CSAM or malware, no spam. Abuse will be removed. Use at your own risk.
Logged-in users get extra features: longer expiry options (up to 10 years), file management (delete/extend), and the ability to upload anonymously (file is still in your account, but your username is hidden from others).
Please report abusive uploads so I can delete bad stuff like CSAM.
I try to be online often enough so I can delete things.

📁 File Sharing
File Size & Storage

Abuse
If you see abuse, report it via the Report dialogue (bottom of file pages) or via email to abuse@dasho.dev. Abusive content will be removed as soon as possible. For encrypted files, you must provide the password to prove abuse. Please only report serious issues (e.g., CSAM, malware).
