Q&A

Is this <INSERT NAME HERE> clone/copy?
▼No and Yes. This is just a off-project (or is it side-project?) from BeBoxed.net. It's up to you to decide that anyway. My github btw: RimunAce
Do you have restrictions?
▶What you see in the frontpage, Terms of Service, and uh.. that's it.
Why don't you allow certain file types?
▶Keep yourself safe on the internet, my friend.
What if there's a harmful file?
▶Please report to abuse@file2.app. We should keep our environment safe around here.
How long do files stay online?
▶Permanent files: They stay forever... or until the server explodes, whichever comes first. Realistically, as long as the service is running and I can afford the hosting bills. No guarantees though!
Temporary files: You choose the duration (30 minutes to 3 days). After that, *poof*. Gone like my motivation on Mondays. The cleanup service runs every hour, so expired files get yeeted automatically.
Pro tip: If it's important, keep your own backup. I'm not responsible if your files disappear into the void.
What file types can I actually upload?
▶Pretty much everything except the dangerous stuff.
If it's not trying to execute itself or harm someone's computer, you're good to go.
Why is my upload failing or slow?
▶Several reasons why your upload might be struggling:
- File too big: Over 200MB for permanent or 1GB for temporary? Not happening, chief.
- Rate limited: You've been uploading like crazy. Take a breather for an hour.
- Storage full: The server is crying. Check the stats to see if we hit the limit.
- Bad connection: Your internet might be having a moment.
- Server issues: Sometimes the hamster powering the server needs a break.
Quick fixes: Try refreshing the page, check your file size, wait a bit if you've uploaded a lot, or try again later. If nothing works, the server might actually be on fire. 🔥
Are there upload limits?
▶Yeah, because unlimited anything is a myth:
- File size: 200MB max for permanent files, 1GB max for temporary files
- Rate limit: Don't be that person who uploads 100 files per minute
- Storage limit: When the server storage is full, uploads are disabled
ShareX?
▶Yes. /sharexcode.txt
If you haven't notice already, I am a Catbox user.
I need a file to be deleted!
▶If you have uploaded a file and you want that file to be deleted, please contact me at: contact@file2.app
Can I get banned?
▶Yes.
So do you have the funding?
▶Nah. I don't. 💸 You can support me in Ko-Fi though

Opensource this right f**** now
