Why do we curate before removing limits for free?

CloudFiles curates its free links for various security and performance reasons. However, we still want to offer unlimited file hosting and data collection for genuine users & use-cases.

Avoid Misuse

Sharing malicious, objectionable, illegal, pirated or any other type of objectionable material is not allowed under our terms of service.

Avoid Abuse

CloudFiles only allows large-scale video streaming or distribution of large non-renderable files on its paid plans or post curation.

Support Community

While responsibly avoiding misuse ad abuyse, we still want to serve genuine file sharing use-cases that fit our philosophy. Hence the curation.
