# Filedrop

# 

Your own file-transfer page.

 No WeTransfer needed.

 Visitors drag files onto your page and get a working download link in seconds, stored on your server or your own FTP/SFTP, never routed through someone else's cloud.

 
- 
- [Documentation](https://www.joomill-extensions.com/index.php?Itemid=5924)

  No account for your visitors. No file size ceiling other than your own server's.

 
## You're probably already paying for this, to someone else.

 
- Monthly fee for WeTransfer Pro or Dropbox, just to send files bigger than the free limit
- Client files sitting on someone else's servers, not yours
- Transfers that quietly expire after 7 days, whether you wanted that or not
- An e-mail that says "yourname@wetransfer.com" instead of your own brand

 ![](https://www.joomill-extensions.com/images/extensions/filedrop/filedrop-emails.png) Same transfer, two sender brands. Only one of them is yours.

 
## Upload. Protect it if you need to. Share the link.

 
- ### 1. Drop your files

 Multiple files at once, chunked uploads for the big ones, a progress bar your visitor actually understands.
- ### 2. Set a password, an expiry, or both

 You decide how long a link lives and who can open it, not a plan tier you didn't pick.
- ### 3. Get your link, instantly

 One click to copy, on your own domain, ready to paste into any mail or chat.

 
## Not to our servers. Not to anyone else's. Yours.

 Choose local storage on your own Joomla server, or point Filedrop at your own FTP, FTPS or SFTP server. No Joomill server is ever in the middle of a transfer, unlike WeTransfer, Dropbox or Google Drive, where every file physically passes through someone else's infrastructure first.

 Notice what is missing from this diagram: a cloud in the middle.

 
## Four situations where "just e-mail it" stops working

 
- ### Creative agencies

 Deliver finished work to clients without a third-party watermark on the process.
- ### Photographers and videographers

 Full-resolution shoots, too big for e-mail, gone the moment the client has downloaded them.
- ### Legal and accounting firms

 Password-protected, expiring links for documents that shouldn't sit in an inbox forever.
- ### Support and internal teams

 Let anyone attach a large file to a support request, without a mailbox size limit getting in the way.

 
## Every field on the form, exactly as required, optional, or hidden as you want it

 ![](https://www.joomill-extensions.com/images/extensions/filedrop/filedrop-settings.png) No coding required — every field, its default value, and whether visitors even see it, all from one settings screen.

## Frequently asked questions

 
- ### How large can the files be?

 Filedrop uploads in chunks, so the limit is your own hosting — disk space and PHP settings — not an arbitrary plan cap.
- ### Where are the files stored?

 On your own Joomla server, or on any FTP, FTPS or SFTP server you own. Nothing passes through a Joomill server.
- ### Do visitors need an account?

 No. Anyone who can reach the page can upload, unless you decide to restrict it to logged-in users.
- ### On how many sites can I use one license?

 As many as you like. One purchase covers unlimited installations, with one year of updates and support.

 
## Send your first file the way it should work.

 One license, every Joomla site you run, no third party in between.
