What files am I not allowed to send with Pandafile?
You can send almost anything you have the right to share. Illegal content is never allowed: child sexual abuse material, pirated or copyright-infringing files, malware, terrorist content, non-consensual intimate images, stolen data, and spam or phishing.
Pandafile is built for everyday sharing: photos, videos, design work, music projects, documents, game builds and anything else that belongs to you or that you have permission to share. File type does not matter. What matters is what is inside the file and whether you have the right to send it.
What is never allowed
- Child sexual abuse material, or anything that sexualises children.
- Pirated or copyright-infringing material, such as films, series, music, games, software or books you do not have the rights to share.
- Malware, viruses, ransomware, or tools meant to break into or damage systems.
- Terrorist content, or content that incites violence or hatred.
- Intimate images of someone shared without their consent.
- Stolen data, leaked databases, or other people's passwords and personal data you have no right to share.
- Spam, phishing, scams or other fraudulent material.
- Anything else that is illegal in the United Kingdom, the European Union, or where you or your recipients are.
The same rules apply to free and Pro transfers, and whether you share by link or by email. You also must not try to get around the weekly free limit with extra accounts, email addresses, devices or networks, or use Pandafile to host files for a public website or app.
What happens if someone breaks the rules
We do not look through people's files. We act when something is reported to us, or when the law requires it. If a transfer breaks the rules, we delete the files, block the same files from being uploaded again using a file fingerprint, and may suspend the sender's account. Child sexual abuse material is reported to the Internet Watch Foundation and the National Crime Agency.
Seen something that breaks the rules?
Every download page has a Report link at the bottom. You can also email abuse@pandafile.co. Our guide to reporting a transfer walks you through it step by step.
