🚨 Alert: Multiple Drive Failures 🚨

We’ve experienced simultaneous failures on several storage drives, resulting in the permanent loss of a few recent files. If you’ve been affected, check your Trash , some files may have been moved there.

We apologize for the inconvenience and are taking steps to prevent this in the future.

🔒 New Security Feature: "Allow Downloads Only From This Website"

We’ve just added a powerful new option to your My Account page: "Allow downloads only from this website"!

What does it do?
This feature lets webmasters protect their download links. If a user tries to access a link without going through your designated website, they’ll be automatically redirected back to your site.

Why use it?
✅ Prevents direct linking and unauthorized access
✅ Ensures all traffic and downloads go through your website
✅ Adds an extra layer of security for your files

Check it out now in your My Account settings and keep your content safe!

📢 Update Announcement

We’ve just pushed a new update that fixes an issue with file renaming. While we were at it, we also simplified part of our codebase for better performance.

Important note: We had to fully clear the cache, which means it will take about half a day to rebuild. During this time, download speeds may be slower than usual.

Everything should be back to normal by tomorrow. Thanks for your patience!

🔧 Server Update – Storage Server Fixed

The issue was caused by overheating due to broken fans. A small portion of DL/UL was impacted, but everything is now running smoothly.

Thanks for your patience.

🚀 Update: Cloudflare WARP Issue Fixed!

We’ve resolved the issue where the site wasn’t loading properly when accessed via Cloudflare WARP—oversized icons and distorted layouts are now fixed. Everything should display correctly, whether you’re using WARP or not.

We are pleased to confirm that all our systems are now back to normal.

Speed Restored: Upload and download speeds are back to their previous levels.
Stability Achieved: Our servers are no longer overloaded and are running smoothly.
All Services Online: Everything is fully operational.

We are already working on upgrading our bandwidth further to provide an even better experience in the near future.

We sincerely apologize for the disruption. Resolving this issue took longer than expected, but it was a necessary step to evolve and improve our infrastructure. This is the price we pay when ensuring long-term growth and stability.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

🛠️ Google Drive Remote Upload Support

We’ve added support for Google Drive links in our Remote Upload feature.

You can now try pasting shareable Drive URLs directly into the uploader. We’ve implemented logic to handle common link formats and security checks, but please note:

⚠️ Results may vary. Due to Google’s security policies, some files (especially large or restricted ones) might still fail to download.

Give it a try and let us know if you encounter any issues so we can improve it further.

⚡ Faster Uploads

We have optimized the direct upload speed on the site. Files are now transferred more quickly and smoothly.

You can now upload at the maximum speed of your connection.

Disk Failure – Update

One of our disks failed earlier today.

The faulty drive has been replaced, and data recovery is now in progress.
Impact: Approximately 30 TB of files were lost due to this incident.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

You can identify which files were affected in the Trash in the file manager.

Everything should be back to normal within a few hours, once all caches have rebuilt.
Thank you for your patience.

Temporary Download Limitations

Direct file downloads are paused temporarily to speed up cache population. This should last for a few hours.

- Cached files are still accessible.
- Availability increases every minute as the cache fills up.

We appreciate your understanding while we optimize the system.

Downloads Resumed

File downloads are now functioning normally again. The cache has reached sufficient capacity to ensure fast and reliable file access.

Thank you for your patience during this system optimization phase.
