What is Pandafile and how does it work?

2 min read · Updated 2026-11-13

Short answer

Pandafile is a file transfer service. You upload files in your browser, share a link or send it by email, and the other person downloads them. Free sends up to 5 GB a week; Pro sends up to 1 TB per transfer.

Pandafile is a simple way to get big files from you to someone else. Videos, photo albums, design files, audio projects, whole folders: anything too large for an email attachment. There is nothing to install. It all happens in your web browser, on a computer or a phone.

Three cards showing the Pandafile flow: Upload with a Choose files button, Share with a link or an email address, and Download with a Download all button
Upload, share, download. That is the whole idea.

How it works

  1. Go to pandafile.co and drop your files on the page, or click Choose files or Choose a folder.
  2. Pick Get a link to copy a link you can paste anywhere, or Send by email to have us email it to up to several people.
  3. Your recipient opens the link and downloads single files, or everything at once as a ZIP with your folders kept intact.

Uploads are resumable. If your Wi-Fi drops halfway through a big transfer, Pandafile carries on from where it stopped instead of starting again.

Free and Pro

  • Free: send up to 5 GB in total per rolling 7 days, no account needed for a link. Files are kept for 3 days, then deleted. Free is paid for by ads.
  • Pro: £12 a year (that is £1 a month). Up to 1 TB per transfer, files kept for 30 days, password protection, and no ads for you or your recipients.

Who runs it and where are files kept?

Pandafile is run by 3XAYA LTD, a company registered in the UK. Files are stored on servers in Helsinki, Finland, and our database is in Frankfurt, so everything stays in the EU. Every page uses HTTPS, and download links are long and random so they cannot be guessed. We don't look at your files, except to act on a report or when the law requires it.

What Pandafile is not (yet)

We like to be honest about this. Pandafile is a website for sending files. There is no desktop app, no mobile app, no API, no team accounts and no permanent storage. It is not a cloud drive: transfers expire and are deleted. If you need any of those, we would rather tell you now than have you find out later.
