    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 reques…

    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 yo…

    Pastie sites experience similar problems. Personal details being released, messages from terrorist networks and mirrors to various disallowed content.

    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, i…

    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.

    Any valid content removal requests that come in through the contact form will be obeyed.

    This was an interesting read and we will do our best to avoid this fate. Right now we're focusing on patching bugs and providing a stable service, but in the future a premium servi…

    "How can I view my history? I think I've clicked every link available but I can't find this at all." The button had been hidden for some users due to a bug. It's been fixed and you…

    If we receive valid content removal request through our contact form then we will have to take the content down. Judging by your username - is there a connection between you and th…

    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…

    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 dow…

    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 …

    A few years ago bandwidth and storage was much more expensive than it is today. Rapidshare was a service that had to swiftly and reluctantly change their business model. They were …

    Unfortunately it's required for the file deduplication. Although it slightly degrades the security it's not serious enough to impose any security risks as the attacker would alread…

    "not active or paused - skipping speed" is sent from the upload speed and estimated time measurement function and won't affect your upload. The warning message that you receive whe…

    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…

    Thanks for the feedback. The upload box is the first and almost only thing that you see when you go to the page and the purpose is to make the process simple so that you don't have…

    Dropbox and S3 are too far from us right now and I wouldn't call them competitors. NoFile is a simple tool that allows you to quickly share files with lots of options, nearly no li…
