Process
Three
steps.
No reading required. Drop a file, confirm your email, and you'll have a shareable link in under a minute.
01 — Upload
Drop your file
Drag it onto the uploader or click to browse. Any file type, any format. Up to 5 GB. Nothing to install or sign up for first.
02 — Verify
Confirm by email
We send a one-click verification link to your inbox. It takes under 10 seconds. No password, no account created — just your email to confirm you're real.
03 — Share
Send the link
Copy the link and share it however you like. Your recipient clicks and downloads directly. No account needed on their end. After 7 days — it's gone.
Why sto.care
Built honest.
No upsells, no dark nudges, no account traps. Just the tool you needed.
Actually 5 GB.
Not 100 MB.
Most free tools cap you at 100 MB and then demand a credit card. We start at 5 GB, free, no conditions. Upload your video, your dataset, your archive — whatever you actually need to send.
Gone in
7 days.
Files don't accumulate on our servers forever. After 7 days they're automatically and permanently deleted. Cleaner for you, lighter for everyone. No hoarding, no forgotten files lingering online.
Email only.
Nothing else.
We capture your email to release the link — that's it. No profile, no password, no dashboard to log into later. Your recipient doesn't need an account either. Minimum friction, maximum speed.
Free means
actually free.
No upsell mid-upload. No popup asking you to create a premium account for faster speeds. No advertising your recipients' attention away from the download button. Free is the whole product.
Privacy
Simple.
Honest.
Yours.
We built sto.care to solve a simple frustration: file sharing tools that are supposed to be free, but aren't. Here's exactly what we do and don't do with your data.
- We collect your email address to verify and release your link.
- Files are stored encrypted and deleted automatically after 7 days.
- We do not sell, share, or monetise your email or file data.
- We do not track your recipients or embed third-party analytics on download pages.
- No account is ever created — on your side or your recipient's.
