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?

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 be…

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 dow…

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

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 r…
