There isn't much to learn — that's the idea. Here's the whole thing.
Uploading a file
Open the home page and either drag a file onto the drop zone or click it to pick one from your device. You can send one file at a time, up to 2 GB. As soon as you choose a file, encryption and upload start automatically — there's no extra “send” button to hunt for.
While it works, you'll see the file's name, its size, and a progress bar. Large files naturally take longer; you can leave the tab open and it'll keep going.
Sharing what you get back
When the upload finishes, cloudyload gives you two things that point to the same file: a short link like https://cloudyload.us/f/a1b2c3d4 and a QR code. Use the Copy link button to grab the URL, or let someone scan the code with their phone camera. Either way works — there's nothing the other person needs to install.
Before you share, pick how long the link should last: 1 hour, 24 hours, or 7 days. The note under the result always shows the choice in plain language. When the timer runs out, the file is deleted and the link stops working — you don't have to come back and tidy anything up.
Sending another file
Press Upload another file to clear everything and start fresh. Nothing from the previous upload is kept on this page.
FAQ
Are my files encrypted?
Yes. Files are encrypted in your browser before they're uploaded, so what reaches our storage is already scrambled. We don't hold the key in a way that lets us read your file's contents.
Can I share with people who don't use cloudyload?
Absolutely. The link and QR code work for anyone with a browser. There's no account, app, or sign-up on the receiving end — they click or scan, and the download starts.
What's the maximum file size?
2 GB per file. If you need to send more, zip a few things together or send them as separate links.
Do you keep any logs?
Only the basic request logs needed to keep the service running and safe, and we delete those after 7 days. We don't tie them to a user identity, and there are no accounts to tie them to in the first place.
Is there an API?
Not a public one yet. cloudyload is built around the simple drop-and-share flow today. If a small, well-documented API would help you, it's the kind of thing we'd consider — but only if it can stay as boring and dependable as the rest.
