Questions, answered

How ZXC works, and what's free (everything).

General
What is ZXC?+

A free file-hosting service. Drop a file, get a permanent link served from a global CDN. That's it.

Do I need an account?+

No. Anonymous uploads work with zero signup. An account (Google or email) adds a console where you can manage files, set custom links, and create API keys.

Is ZXC really free?+

Yes — everything is free: storage, bandwidth, custom links, folders and the developer API. No catch, no card, no limits to unlock.

Files & storage
How long are files stored?+

Indefinitely. Files may be removed after a very long period of total inactivity, but there is no expiry timer.

What is the file size limit?+

1 GB per file. Upload as many files as you want.

How do I delete my files?+

If you uploaded while signed in (or via your API key), the file appears in your console where you can delete it.

Can people hotlink my files?+

Yes — the /raw/ URL serves plain bytes with permissive CORS. Embed away.

Features
What is the developer API?+

A single upload endpoint you can call from scripts, bots, or servers using an API key from your console. See the Docs page for examples in four languages.

Can I set custom links?+

Yes — signed-in users can rename any file URL to a clean slug like cdn.zxcinc.dev/my-file. Free.

Why do some downloads show a warning?+

Executable or unrecognized file types show a heads-up page before downloading, so nobody runs something they didn't expect.
