Yes. ddrive is a free temporary file sharing service. No account is required for a single share.

How long are files stored?

Anonymous drops are kept for 30 days by default, then permanently deleted. You can claim a drop into your account to keep it indefinitely.

What is the maximum file size?

There is no hard limit per file. Files are split into chunks and uploaded in parallel, so even multi-gigabyte uploads work.

Do I need to create an account?

No. /drop works without sign-up. Creating an account is only needed if you want to manage, organize or keep your files long-term.

Where are the files stored?

On the ddrive instance you reach. Self-hosted instances keep files on infrastructure the operator controls.

Use ddrive from the API

Every account can generate an API key and script uploads, downloads, and file management — no browser required. Keys are created under Settings → API keys after signing in.

Send the key in an x-api-key header, prefixed ddv4_.
Name each key, set an optional expiry, and revoke it any time.
Works against both the GraphQL endpoint and the REST blob endpoints — same auth as the browser session.

curl https://ddrive.cikowice.pl/graphql   -H "x-api-key: ddv4_<your-key>"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"query":"{ storageUsage { usedBytes fileCount } }"}'

Proof of concept — no warranty

ddrive is a personal proof-of-concept project provided as-is, with no uptime or reliability guarantees. Files stored through ddrive may be deleted, corrupted, or otherwise become inaccessible at any time — for any reason, including operator error, storage provider outages, or data loss.

Do not use ddrive as the only copy of anything you care about. Always keep an independent backup of important files. By using ddrive you accept full responsibility for any data loss.
