We’re excited to introduce FileGrab, a new approach to file sharing that flips the traditional model on its head.
The Problem with Traditional File Sharing
Every file sharing service works the same way:
- Upload your files
- Wait for the upload to complete
- Get a link
- Share the link
This means you’re stuck waiting before you can even tell someone the files are coming. On slow connections or with large files, this can take forever.
Our Solution: Link First
FileGrab works differently. When you visit filegrab.link, you immediately get a shareable link. No uploading. No waiting. The link is ready to share in under a second.
Then you add your files - and here’s the magic: recipients can already be watching. They see files appear in real-time as you upload them.
Why This Matters
Think about how you actually share files:
- You’re on a call and someone asks for that document
- You’re writing an email and need to reference attachments
- You’re collaborating and files are still being prepared
With FileGrab, you paste the link immediately: “Here’s where the files will be: filegrab.link/xyz”
No more “I’ll send it once it uploads” or “give me a few minutes.” Share now, upload when ready.

How End-to-End Encryption Works
When you create an encrypted link, FileGrab generates an encryption key in your browser. Your files are encrypted before they ever leave your device.
The encryption key is stored in the URL fragment (the part after #), which is never sent to our servers. Only someone with the complete link can decrypt your files.
Even we can’t see what you’re sharing.
Built for Speed
FileGrab runs on Cloudflare’s global edge network. Whether your recipient is in Tokyo, London, or New York, they’re downloading from a server nearby.
We use:
- Cloudflare Workers for instant API responses
- Cloudflare R2 for zero-egress file storage
- Global CDN for fast downloads anywhere
Simple, Focused, Useful
File sharing has gotten complicated. Services pile on features, clutter interfaces with ads, and bury basic functionality behind accounts and paywalls.
FileGrab is different. We believe in:
- Single-purpose focus - We do file sharing, and we do it well
- Transparency - No hidden limits or surprise fees
- Simplicity - If it doesn’t help you share files, it’s not in the product
