Upload.am is a cloud file storage and sharing platform with 25GB free storage, a bundled no-logs VPN, a WordPress plugin, and paid plans from $4.95/mo.
Upload.am is a cloud file storage and sharing service built around encrypted uploads, private sharing links, and a bundled no-logs VPN. Users can upload multiple files simultaneously (the homepage advertises 10 simultaneous uploads of up to 5GB each), share them via password-protected links or QR codes, and manage storage without ads or tracking. The company, a small team based in Vanadzor and Yerevan, Armenia, shipped its first stable release in November 2024 and reports rapid growth in uploaded files since then. Beyond the core web uploader, Upload.am offers a native Windows client, a public API for developers, and an official WordPress plugin that stores site media on Upload.am's infrastructure instead of the WordPress host's own storage. Pricing is freemium: a 25GB free tier plus three paid storage tiers (1TB, 5TB, 10TB) billed monthly.
Key Features
Multi-file simultaneous upload — Upload up to 10 files at once, up to 5GB per file, directly from the web uploader.
Password-protected sharing links — Restrict access to uploaded files with a password before sharing the link.
QR code sharing — Generate a QR code for a shared file so it can be opened instantly on a mobile device.
Encrypted, no-retention storage — Files are stored with 2048-bit RSA / AES-256 encryption under a stated no-data-retention policy.
Bundled no-logs VPN — Every plan, including the free tier, includes access to a no-logs VPN service.
WordPress plugin — An official WordPress plugin (Gutenberg and Classic Editor compatible) uploads and manages files up to 2GB each from the WordPress dashboard, storing them on Upload.am's servers instead of the site's own hosting.
Public API — A documented public API (upload.am/api) supports programmatic file uploads and management.
Windows desktop client — A native Windows client is available alongside the web uploader.
