Current file storage solutions often have a limited number of options that are available to their users — usually only storage, sharing and sync. But what about other services that users might find useful — selling files, creating backups, publishing files in publicly accessible profiles, searching files using AI technologies, using file upload forms to receive files from others?

Files.fm offers its users all these functions and more. We have worked in the file storage and sharing field for more than ten years now and we are now focusing on expanding our functionality and services. This is why we let anyone try out our services by offering free unlimited storage for up to two months without needing to register.

Anyone can upload their files to our storage platform — unregistered users can upload as many files as they wish up to 1GB per upload, that will then be stored for a user determined amount of time up to two months.

If a user decides to register, they will receive a defined amount of free storage, however they can increase their available storage space by inviting other users or sharing this platform on social media. For less hassle and larger storage users will be able to subscribe to our services, starting from EUR 4,90/month for 250GB.

All registered users will have access to statistics about their uploads and will be able to upload any file type with a maximum file size of 2GB, while for users who subscribe to paid plans maximum upload size is unlimited. In addition to that, for all users, both unregistered and registered, download and upload speed is not and never will be throttled or limited, because we believe that file downloads should happen as quickly as possible and should not be limited by the service providers.

Files.fm is one of the few file storage solutions that also offers users the opportunity to sell their files, setting their own price and usage rights. We also allow creating private and one-off transactions, allowing users to sell their files only to personally selected customers. In addition to that, users can also embed their own file store in any website, using files.fm ready-to-use embeddable code that adapts to the space provided and is mobile-friendly (you can see an example of an embedded store here: https://files.fm/sell-files/demo/ ). We also ensure that user’s files will be as noticeable as possible, since we allow search engine friendly file tags, descriptions and metadata and once in a while we showcase the best products sold on our platform to our users and social media followers.

One novel idea that files.fm has implemented is the creation of public profiles, where any user can make their profile public allowing anyone to download their files or for anyone to send files directly to the user. This creates their own public file catalog, allowing users to, for example, gather all their vacation photos from multiple people in one place. This is also useful for companies who frequently receive and send files to users, since it allows organizing and tagging files. Any file can be password-protected, allowing users to restrict access only to a select group of people. This can also be done for marketing activities, as a place for users to submit photos and vote for the best ones.

In addition to that we have recently been working on implementing hybrid-decentralized file sharing, where the file is simultaneously downloaded both from centralized servers and P2P network, thus ensuring high download and upload speed. With this technology going live, files.fm will be able to support ever increasing number of users and uploads, reducing our server load while at the same time increasing the download and upload speed.
