Terms & acceptable use

Short version: this is for handing work to a client, not for running a website.

What this service is for. Filyhost is for sharing a demo, a draft, or a deliverable with a client or a colleague, under light demand. It is not a file host for a live website, an app backend, a CDN, a download mirror, or anything carrying real traffic. Links are meant to be sent to a handful of people and then to expire. Links that sustain heavy traffic are rate limited, and accounts that repeatedly use the service as production hosting may be closed.

Your content

You keep ownership of everything you upload. You are responsible for having the right to share it, and for anything it contains. We do not review uploads before they go live.

What you may not upload

We remove content that breaks these rules, without notice, and close the account behind it.

Privacy and secrecy of links

Links use long random addresses, are never listed anywhere, and are served with X-Robots-Tag: noindex so search engines skip them. That keeps a link private in practice, but it is not encryption and it is not access control: anyone who has the address can open it. Do not use Filyhost for material that would be harmful if it reached the wrong person.

We store the email address you verify, and for each link its name, size, expiry, and a count of visits. We do not sell anything to anyone.

Deletion

Every link has a lifetime you choose when you upload it, and deletes itself when that runs out. You can delete one sooner from Your links. Uploads whose email is never confirmed are deleted within 24 hours and are never publicly reachable in the meantime.

Availability

The service is provided as is, with no guarantee of uptime or of retention. Keep your own copy of anything you care about. We are not liable for loss arising from use of the service.

Reporting abuse

If a link hosted here is phishing, malware, or otherwise harmful, email abuse@filyhost.com with the full address. Reports are acted on quickly, and confirmed abuse is removed and the account closed.
