One link, one pile
Name the request, share it, and keep the files that come back in that inbox.
FileInbox.online
Send a link. Files land in your inbox.
Clients and students upload without an account. You stop collecting files from a messy thread of email attachments.
They open the link and upload. They do not create an account, and they do not confirm an email.
The Free plan can be used ongoing. Paid plans include one month free to try, with no card charge during that month. Files are encrypted on our disk. A person reads [email protected].
No signup to upload
They open the link and upload. They do not create an account, and they do not confirm an email.
Password and a deadline

Encrypted on our disk
Files are encrypted on our disk.
Free plan, and a real trial
The Free plan stays free. Basic and Professional include one month free to try. No card charge during that month.
A person reads the mail
An inbox for files you asked for
- Share a link. Submissions land in that inbox, not in a chat scroll.
- Set a password or a deadline when you need one.
- Files stay encrypted on our disk. Paid plans can email you when a file arrives.
What the inbox does
A note when files arrive
Basic and Professional can email you when someone uploads. The Free plan does not.
Encrypted on our disk
You can password-protect an inbox. Files are stored encrypted on our disk.
A link inbox, not a file-sync product
FileInbox.online is a lightweight way to collect files with a link. People upload into an inbox you control. We do not offer an API, and we do not sync those files with Dropbox or Google Drive. fileinbox.com is a different product.
Collect files with a file request linkFileInbox.online is not fileinbox.comCollect homeworkCollect design proofsCollect vendor documents
Three jobs, one link
School homework, design proofs, and vendor documents are the same job: send a link, and the files land in the inbox.
School
Homework before the deadline
A teacher posts one link. Students upload the assignment before the deadline, instead of dropping files named final_final2 into a class chat.
Design
Proofs and source files
A designer asks a client for logos, fonts, and reference photos. They land in one inbox, not a messy thread.
Vendors
Invoices and shipping photos
A small team collects contracts, invoices, and delivery photos from suppliers. Add a password when the files should not be public, then download them from the inbox.
How it works
Create an inbox, share the link, and collect files from coworkers, clients, or a class.
No account for them
People you ask can upload with the link alone. They do not create a FileInbox.online account.
Larger than an email attachment
Each plan has a file-size limit. It is meant for the files that bounce out of email, not for unlimited storage.
One inbox, not a thread
Submissions sit together. Download them from the inbox, including a zip on paid plans.
You can see when it arrived
Each file shows its name and the time it was submitted. Paid plans can also email you when something arrives.
1. Create an inbox
Name it, write what you need, and set a deadline. Add a password if the link should not be open.
2. Share the link
Send it by email, a class page, or a message. If you set a password, send that too.
3. The uploader needs no account
They open the link and send files. They do not create an account.
4. Files land for the owner
Open the inbox and download the files. Paid plans can download them together as a zip.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers about a FileInbox.online file request link, including no account to upload, plans, and where the files sit.
Collecting files
What does FileInbox.online do?
You create an inbox on FileInbox.online and share a file request link. Other people upload into that inbox. They do not need an account.
✔️ A link for each collection
✔️ A name, a description, a deadline, and an optional password
✔️ Email when a file arrives (Basic and Professional)
✔️ Files stored encrypted on our disk
Do uploaders need to sign up?
No. Anyone with the link can upload. They only see the upload page for that inbox, not your other inboxes.
Can I limit who uploads?
You can put a password on the inbox and set a deadline. Share the password yourself — it stays visible to you so you can copy it to the people who should upload.
How long do files stay?
A deadline closes new uploads.
The terms do not promise how many days files remain after a deadline or after an account is closed.
Paid plans include one month free to try, with no card charge during that month.

Collect files, not send a file
FileInbox.online is for collecting files from other people. You share a link. They upload. This is not a way to send one of your files out, and it is not a shared folder that asks them to sign up. The person uploading needs no account.

The Free plan stays free. Basic is listed at $5 per month and Professional at $15 per month. Those are the prices on the cards below. Paid plans include one month free to try, with no card charge during that month. You can move between plans.
On the Free plan, open the inbox to see new files. Email notice and a zip download start on Basic ($5).
