There is a contact form ( https://nofile.io/contact/ ) where all content removal requests can be sent to. All requests will be checked and the file will be taken down if the request is valid.

Neither the file type nor the content inside the files are being checked. This issue must've been caused by something else. Were you able to upload other files?

AES-CTR is indeed what's currently being used. SJCL is definitely an option and we will compare the two to see if there are any large advantages to switching over, thank you for your suggestion. The reason to why the content isn't

Thanks for reporting the issue. The XSS was related to the filenames. Although most operating systems don't allow users to upload files containing greater-than/less-than symbols, it's possible to add them by tampering the req

Yes, completely positive. You need to make sure that you're following the 301 redirects as that is not the final file location, hence why the data returned is only 957 bytes.

Other users complained about this as well. A setting will be added which will disable the animations for those that find them annoying.

These services (Mediafire, Zippyshare, Uppit) are among the best file hosting sites online, but unfortunately they have their issues too. The problem being that you have to jump between different hosts depending on how large your files are

The plans were to have the API added from the start. To prevent a rocky beginning the API wasn't released, but it will be added as soon as possible.

We'll try to work on this. More importantly you can enable the encrypted upload feature for sensitive files if you do not trust the storage servers.

The only way to prevent this is through valid content removal requests sent in through the contact form. As mentioned in a previous comment, since uploaders aren't rewarded for downloads this shouldn't become too big of an issue t

Only static content is served over Cloudflare. All uploads/downloads are done directly with the storage servers.

The page states 10 GB (not Gb). To be completely correct the precise limit is 10.2 GiB.

This was due to an old client-side limit that hadn't been updated. It's been changed and you can now upload files up to 10.2 GB, thanks for pointing it out.

There isn't currently an app, but there shouldn't be any disadvantages between using the site. You can upload as many files as you wish and save them on your phone to play offline (similar to what an app would do in the background

The reasons to why NoFile won't become a storage site for pirated content is that uploaders aren't rewarded for downloads. "Animated backgroud is very distracting. I'm constantly reacting to the new icons floating into t

The key is the truncated hash of the file for the purpose of file deduplication. However, it will not impose any security risks as the person who wishes to decrypt it would have to know the hash of the file which requires them to already k

It's a difficult question to answer exactly how long a file would be kept as the deletion is based on two factors: - How active the file is (e.g if the file isn't downloaded in X days). - How much space that's available on th
