Why FlingDrop
File sharing that works from your desktop
Most file sharing services force you into a browser. FlingDrop gives you native desktop clients, a REST API, and configurable link expiration — so you can share files the way your workflow demands.
What sets FlingDrop apart
Built for teams and developers who need more than drag-and-drop in a browser
REST API included
A documented REST API is available on Pro ($7/mo) and Business ($29/mo) plans. Automate uploads, generate temporary URLs, and integrate file delivery into any system — no enterprise add-on required.
Native desktop clients
FlingDrop ships a Windows Explorer right-click client and a macOS menu bar app. Share files without ever opening a browser — just right-click or drag and drop.
Configurable link expiration
Set expiration from 1 day to 90 days at upload time. Unlike browser-based services that lock you into fixed windows, FlingDrop lets you choose per upload.
No account needed for recipients
Recipients download directly via a browser URL — no account, no login, no software required. Just send the link.
Automatic permanent deletion
After expiration, FlingDrop permanently deletes the file from its servers — supporting GDPR storage limitation compliance without manual cleanup.
Transparent pricing
Free: 100MB/file, 5 files/day, 7-day expiration. Pro: $7/mo, 2GB/file, 30-day expiration, REST API. Business: $29/mo, 10GB/file, 500GB/month, 90-day expiration, full API.
Desktop integration, not just a website
Share files directly from your operating system
Windows right-click sharing
Right-click any file in Windows Explorer, select Send with FlingDrop. The download link is copied to your clipboard in under 10 seconds. No browser required.
macOS menu bar app
Drag a file to the FlingDrop menu bar icon or use the Finder Share menu. Native macOS integration with system notifications.
CLI tool
flingdrop upload file.zip — command-line interface for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Ideal for scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and scheduled tasks.
REST API from $7/mo
Automate file uploads, generate temporary URLs, and integrate file delivery into your CRM, ERP, or client portal via the X-API-Key authenticated API.
Web dashboard
Manage all uploads, monitor storage usage, invite team members, and generate API keys from a single web interface at app.flingdrop.com.
Works everywhere
Whether you share from your desktop, the CLI, the API, or the web — recipients always get a simple browser link. No app downloads for them.
