When does my free space come back? How the rolling week works

2 min read · Updated 2026-11-13

Short answer

Each transfer counts against your 10 GB for exactly 7 days after you sent it. After that its space returns automatically, and the upload page shows the date.

Pandafile Free does not have a fixed reset day. Your allowance works on a rolling 7-day window, so each transfer gives its space back exactly one week after you sent it.

A worked example

Imagine you sent 2 GB on Monday, 1.10 GB on Wednesday and 1 GB on Friday. That is 4.10 GB in total, so on Friday evening you have 0.10 GB left.

  • The following Monday, the 2 GB from last Monday comes back, so you have 2.10 GB.
  • On Wednesday another 1.10 GB comes back, giving you 4 GB.
  • On Friday the last 1 GB returns and you are back to the full 10 GB.

How to check the exact date

  1. Go to pandafile.co on the device you normally send from.
  2. Look at the meter under the drop zone, for example "0.10 GB of 10 GB left this week".
  3. Read the line underneath it, which tells you when space frees up next.

The meter is always the most accurate answer, because it uses exactly the same numbers we use to check an upload.

Things that do not bring space back sooner

Files on the free plan are deleted after 7 days, but the allowance is about how much you sent in the last 7 days, so the 7-day deletion does not refill your meter. Switching browsers, signing in with another email address or using a different network will not reset it either, because the limit is counted per person.
