FileInbox.online
FileInbox.online is not fileinbox.com
FileInbox.online collects files with a link. An inbox owner shares that link. The other person opens it and uploads. We are a link inbox. We are not a file-sync product, and this site is not fileinbox.com.
The names look alike. The products do not. If you arrived here while looking for the other site, use their address: https://fileinbox.com.
What FileInbox.online collects
They open the link and upload. They do not create an account, and they do not confirm an email. You sign in because the inbox is yours. They do not. The upload page shows the title and description you wrote, plus a password field only when you turned a password on.
You can set a deadline. A deadline closes new uploads. Files are encrypted on our disk. They stay with that inbox for its owner. We do not put the inbox on a public gallery, and we do not hand those files to other customers.
The Free plan can be used ongoing. Paid plans include one month free to try, with no card charge during that month. Files are encrypted on our disk. A person reads [email protected].
What we do not do
FileInbox.online only collects files into an inbox you control. We do not offer an API. We do not sync an inbox with Dropbox or Google Drive. We do not send one of your own files out as a transfer. There is no folder that the other person logs into, and there is no two-way shared drive.
If you need sync, a developer API, or a product that both sends and receives files, FileInbox.online is the wrong tool. Use a product built for that job.
fileinbox.com is a different product
fileinbox.com is a different, more mature send and receive product. It also offers sync and an API. Those are their capabilities, not ours. We have not copied their price list onto this page, because this page only states the contrast we can stand behind: we collect files with a link, and they are that other product.
Nothing here is a complaint about their work. A more mature product is a fair description of a send, receive, sync, and API service that has been in market longer than this link inbox. If that is what you need, go to https://fileinbox.com. If you need people to hand you files without creating an account and without confirming an email, stay on FileInbox.online.
How to tell the sites apart
Check the address bar. FileInbox.online uses fileinbox.online. The other product uses fileinbox.com. Titles and the first screen on this site say FileInbox.online so the two are not mixed up.
On this site you create an inbox, copy a link, and collect files. The pricing page lists Free, Basic, and Professional for that collection job. This comparison does not describe their plans.
