💡 Problems & Solutions

I can't see a file my friend shared

ShareInShare only shows files to devices on the same network (same Wi-Fi router). Make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi, that mobile data is switched off, and that no VPN is running. Files protected as Public are different - they can be opened from anywhere using the link plus the password.

My upload failed or says "File type not allowed"

For safety, only common file types are accepted (images, video, audio, PDF, Office documents, ZIP/RAR/7z, TXT and CSV). Scripts and executables such as .php, .exe or .sh are blocked. Put the file inside a ZIP and upload that instead.

My file disappeared

Everything on ShareInShare is deleted automatically 30 minutes after it was shared. Download what you need before the timer on the file card runs out.

"Daily limit exceeded"

Guests can upload up to 50 MB per day and registered users up to 1 GB per day. The limit resets every day. Creating a free account raises your limit.

What is the difference between Private and Public?

Private (password-protected): only people on the same Wi-Fi network can see the file, and they still need the password. Public: anyone who has the link and the password can open it from any network. Public files always require a password. You must be logged in to protect a file with a password.

I forgot the password of my file

Passwords are stored in an encrypted (hashed) form, so nobody - not even us - can recover them. Delete the file and upload it again with a new password. Use the password generator above if you want a strong one.

Sharing a very long text doesn't work

There is no limit in ShareInShare itself, but the hosting server has a maximum request size. If you see a "too large" message, split the text into two or more parts and share them one after another.

My internet is slow - what can I do?

Upload one or two files at a time, close other tabs and downloads, and wait for the "uploaded" message before leaving the page - uploads happen one by one and the page only refreshes when every file is done. Compressing big files into a ZIP first also helps.

How do I download many files at once?

Tick the files (or use Select All) and press the download button - several files are bundled into one ZIP automatically. Password-protected files are never included in the ZIP; download those one by one and enter the password.

The Copy button doesn't work

Browsers only allow copying on secure (https) pages and sometimes need permission. Make sure you opened the site with https:// and allow clipboard access if asked. If it still fails, a box will appear so you can copy the text manually.
