For Journalists
Send sensitive files to sources and editors securely.
Journalists need file sharing where the service can’t read the files. FileShot encrypts everything in the browser — the server only stores encrypted blobs. No one at FileShot can read your documents or recordings.
Drop files to encrypt & share
Any format · Up to 50 GB · Unlimited storage
Zero-knowledge by design — read the security model
What journalists use FileShot for

Video footage
Transfer raw interview footage, B-roll, or surveillance clips to editors or colleagues securely.
Research archives
Share large research document bundles with co-authors or editorial teams with expiring links.
Whistleblower material
Password-protect sensitive files and share the password through a separate channel for extra security.
Photo evidence

Why FileShot works for this workflow
No file size cap
Free accounts upload up to 50 GB per file. No compression, no splitting, no re-encoding.
Zero-knowledge encryption
Files are encrypted in the browser before upload. The decryption key is in the URL — FileShot’s servers never see your content.
No account for recipients
Recipients click a link and download. No signup, no app, no friction. Works on any device and browser.
Password protection
Add an optional password for sensitive files. Send the link and password through separate channels for extra security.
Auto-expiry & download limits
Links expire automatically after a set number of days or downloads. Keep delivery history clean without manual cleanup.
NVMe upload speeds
Private NVMe infrastructure. Your large files upload fast without shared consumer hosting throttling your transfer.
