About Vaslo
Vaslo sends big files with one link. Upload your files and you get a link and an 8-character code; the people you send to use either one to download, without an account. The link closes on the day you choose and the files are deleted with it.
What is Vaslo?
Vaslo is for the times a video, a batch of photos or a work file is too big for email. The sender uploads the files and the recipient opens a link and downloads them. Recipients do not need to register or sign in.
Senders can also send without signing in. Signing in unlocks larger files, emailing the link to people directly, and a sent history. Files are kept only for the period chosen and are deleted automatically afterwards. Vaslo is a way to hand files to someone right now, not a place to store them for a long time.
How sending and receiving works
Drop your files and press send
Drag files onto the first screen or choose them from your computer. Title, message and retention are optional and have defaults. You do not need to sign in. If your connection drops or you close the tab, choose the same file again and the upload continues from where it left off.
Share the link or the code
When the upload finishes you get a link and an 8-character code such as ABCD-EFGH. Paste the link into a chat or an email, or just tell someone the code. If you are signed in you can also enter recipient emails (up to 3 on the free plan) and Vaslo emails them the link.
The recipient downloads
The recipient opens the link, or types the code into “Receive with a code” on the first screen. They can download files one by one or use “Download all”. The link closes on the day you set, or once its download limit is used up.
How long are files kept?
The sender chooses how long. The choices are:
- Sending without signing in: 1 day.
- A signed-in free account: choose from 1 day, 3 days.
- With a pass the maximum goes up to 30 days.
- With “One-time”, the link starts closing the moment someone downloads. If the download is interrupted, the same browser can retry within 1 hour, and after that the link is closed. If nobody downloads, it closes when the chosen retention period ends.
When the time is up, the link closes and the files are deleted. Cleanup runs about every 10 minutes, so there can be a short gap between the link closing and the files actually being removed. Deleted files cannot be recovered, so keep your own copy of anything important.
What is free, and what does a pass add?
Sending and receiving are free. A pass is a one-time purchase for when you need bigger files or longer retention. It is not a subscription: when the period ends it simply ends, and it never renews or charges you again.
- Without signing in: up to 2 GB per transfer and 5 transfers a day. No recipient emails and no link password.
- Free account: up to 3 GB per transfer and 3 recipient emails.
- Pass: up to 100 GB per transfer, retention up to 30 days, up to 20 recipient emails, and link passwords.
The limits as a table are below. Prices are on the pricing page and refunds follow the refund policy.
| Limits for the free plan and each pass | Free | 1-day pass | 7-day pass | 30-day pass |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Largest single transfer | 3 GB | 50 GB | 100 GB | 100 GB |
| Retention choices | 1d, 3d | 1d, 3d, 7d | 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d | 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, 30d |
| Total stored at once | 6 GB | 50 GB | 100 GB | 150 GB |
| Recipient emails per transfer | 3 | 10 | 20 | 20 |
| Link password | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Transfers you can create per day | 10 | 50 | 50 | 50 |
How are files protected and deleted?
- Uploaded files are kept in private storage that nobody can browse. Recipients download through a short-lived address issued after the link or code is checked.
- Links and codes are generated at random, and repeated attempts to guess codes that do not exist are rate limited.
- You can limit how many times a link can be downloaded, and with a pass you can also set a password on the link.
- Vaslo does not offer end-to-end encryption. Anyone who has the link or the code can download (unless there is a password), so choose carefully who gets it, and encrypt sensitive files yourself before sending.
- The sender can delete a transfer at any time; the link closes right away and the files are deleted. Uploads that were never finished are deleted automatically after 24 hours.
- Anyone can report a link without signing in using the “Report a problem” link on the download page. An operator reviews it and, if needed, blocks the transfer; blocking deletes the files. How to report is on the contact page.
- What we store and which cookies we use is described in full in the privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions
How long are files kept?
For as long as the sender chose. Without signing in it is 1 day; a free account chooses from 1 day, 3 days; with a pass it is up to 30 days. After that the link closes and the files are deleted. Deleted files cannot be recovered.
Can I send without an account?
Yes. Drop your files on the first screen and press send. Without signing in you can send up to 2 GB per transfer and 5 transfers a day, kept 1 day. Emailing recipients and link passwords need an account. Recipients never need an account.
What is a code?
An 8-character mix of letters and numbers made for every transfer (for example ABCD-EFGH). When pasting a link is awkward, you can just share the code. The recipient types it into “Receive with a code” on the first screen; capital letters and the hyphen do not matter. Anyone who knows the code can download, so treat it like the link.
What is one-time?
A link that closes after one person downloads. Once a download starts, the link closes about 1 hour later, and the same browser can retry within that hour. If nobody downloads, it closes when the chosen retention period ends.
How big can my files be?
Per transfer (all files added together): 2 GB without signing in, 3 GB on a free account, 50 GB with a 1-day pass, 100 GB with a 7-day pass and 100 GB with a 30-day pass. There are also limits on the total you keep at once and on how many transfers you can create per day. The table above shows them.
How do I delete a transfer?
If you are signed in, open “History”, pick the transfer and delete it; the link closes right away. A transfer sent without signing in moves to your account when you sign in in the same browser, and you can delete it the same way; otherwise it deletes itself when its retention period ends. If it has to go sooner, send us the link as described on the contact page.
