Question 1

Can I brand my file sharing links?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With Kinet Pro, you can add your logo, accent color, welcome message, and choose from multiple templates to create fully branded download pages. Every file you share reinforces your brand identity.

Question 2

How is Kinet different from WeTransfer?

Accepted Answer

Kinet lets you create fully branded download pages with your logo, colors, and custom templates — something WeTransfer doesn't offer. It's also 7 times cheaper, with stronger privacy guarantees. Kinet never trains AI on your files, offers encrypted storage, password protection, and self-destruct downloads.

Question 3

What happens to my files after they expire?

Accepted Answer

Once your link expires, the files are permanently deleted from Kinet's servers. Free plan links expire after 7 days, while Pro users can choose from 7, 30, 60, or 90 days — or keep links active indefinitely. You can also enable self-destruct mode to delete files immediately after the first download.

Question 4

Is Kinet really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Kinet has a generous free plan with 1 GB per file, 5 GB of total storage, and 7-day link expiry. No credit card required. Upgrade to Pro for $4.99/month or $29/year to get 5 GB per file, 25 GB storage, custom expiry, password protection, and persistent links.

Question 5

Does Kinet train AI on my files?

Accepted Answer

Never. Kinet has a strict No AI Pledge — your files are never used to train artificial intelligence models. Unlike mainstream file sharing services, Kinet doesn't scan your uploads for data mining or share your content with third parties.

Question 6

How secure is file transfer on Kinet?

Accepted Answer

All files are encrypted at rest using Cloudflare R2 storage and transferred over TLS. Password-protected links use PBKDF2 hashing for secure key derivation. Kinet never stores decrypted files, and self-destruct downloads ensure files are deleted immediately after access.

Question 7

Do I need an account to send files?

Accepted Answer

No, you can start sharing files immediately without signing up. Just upload, generate a link, and share. Create an optional account with Google to unlock features like download tracking, file management, custom expiry, password protection, and persistent links.

Question 8

What's the maximum file size I can send?

Accepted Answer

Free users can upload files up to 1 GB. Pro users can upload files up to 5 GB. Both plans support multiple file uploads with automatic zipping for convenient sharing.

Question 9

Can I password protect my links?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Pro users can password-protect any link. Passwords are securely hashed using PBKDF2, so even Kinet cannot see your original password. Recipients must enter the correct password to access the file.

Question 10

What is self-destruct mode?

Accepted Answer

Self-destruct mode permanently deletes a file immediately after the first download. This is useful for sharing sensitive documents that you only want one person to access once. After download, the link becomes invalid and the file is removed from storage.
