The problem
A ZIP is a folder — until you send it
Then it becomes a mystery download nobody can look inside first.
Drives hide it
“Request access.” The client isn’t on your domain and never will be.
Chat crushes it
Files scatter across the thread and images get recompressed.
UploadZipFile puts the folder back on a link anyone can open.
The product
The link is the archive
They open a folder in the browser. You see what they did.
Browse
See inside before anyone downloads
Recipients land on the real folder tree with file sizes — not a download button and a guess.
- Full folder tree with search
- Per-file sizes and compression
- Encrypted entries called out
Send & track
Send it, then know what happened
Email the link with a note. Each recipient gets their own tracked link, so you see who opened and who downloaded.
- Per-recipient Sent → Opened → Downloaded
- A note on the share page and in the email
- Optional email when a download lands
Extract
Pull one file without the whole archive
Grab one file — up to 25 MB — and preview text, images and media in the browser.
- One-click single-file download
- Preview text, images and media
- No full unzip required
Create & inspect
Pack or check a ZIP without uploading a byte
Build a ZIP from files or a folder, or open one to see inside. Nothing leaves your machine until you share.

- Works with multi-gigabyte archives
- Share as a link when you are ready

FAQ
Straight answers
What people actually ask before they send a ZIP.
01Is uploading and sharing a ZIP file really free?
Yes. Drop a ZIP in and get a link back in seconds — no email, no card. Uploads go up to 20 MB and the link lasts 24 hours.
02Do I need an account?
No. Uploading works signed out, and the link behaves the same. An account is worth it if you want your links in one place, links that outlive the browser you made them in, or the Pro features.
03What does Pro add?
Archives up to 2 GB instead of 20 MB, links that never expire (or expire exactly when you choose), unlimited live links, password-protected shares, per-country and per-device download analytics, and no UploadZipFile footer on your share pages. It is $6 a month, or $60 a year.
04How long does the link stay online?
On the free tier, 24 hours, with the countdown shown next to the link. After that the archive is deleted from storage and the link returns a "gone" page. Pro links can be set to any expiry from one hour to never.
05Can people see what is inside without downloading it?
That is the point of the tool. The share page lists every file and folder in the archive with its size, so the person you sent it to knows exactly what they are getting before spending the bandwidth.
06Can someone download just one file out of the ZIP?
Yes. Any file inside the archive can be downloaded on its own, up to 25 MB, and text files, images, PDFs, audio and video preview on the page. Nothing is unpacked ahead of time — the single file is pulled out of the archive on request.
