For Researchers
Share large datasets and research files without limits.
Research files — datasets, sequencing results, lab recordings — are too large for email and too sensitive for consumer cloud storage. FileShot encrypts data before upload and delivers it with a link that can expire after review.

What researchers use FileShot for
Large datasets
Transfer CSV, HDF5, or parquet datasets to collaborators without cloud storage accounts.
Lab recordings & scans
Share MRI images, microscopy recordings, or sensor data archives with co-investigators.
Sequencing output
Send FASTQ files, BAM archives, or genomics pipeline output to analysis teams.
Pre-publication manuscripts
Share embargoed drafts and supplementary materials with reviewers using expiring links.
Conference presentations
Deliver large slide decks, poster PDFs, and demo videos to organizers or co-presenters.
IRB & compliance documents
Send sensitive IRB-approved materials with password protection and download limits.
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.
