Overview

What is Plik?

Plik is a temporary file sharing service, simple and secure, acting as a 'sovereign WeTransfer'. You upload files and receive a shareable link, which you control in terms of lifespan and number of downloads.

Regarding security, Plik offers server-side encryption, one-time password (OTP) protection, and deletion upon first read. Beyond its clean drag-and-drop web interface, it provides a command-line client to integrate with scripts and automation, as well as user account management with quotas and support for various storage destinations (local or S3-compatible).

Open-source and self-hostable, Plik allows you to exchange files — including large or sensitive ones — without relying on a mainstream cloud service: your data stays on your own server.

FAQ

You might be wondering…

Is Plik an alternative to WeTransfer?

Yes, in a sovereign version. Plik allows you to send files via a temporary and secure link, but your data remains hosted in France on your instance, not with a foreign mainstream service.

How to ensure the confidentiality of a transfer?

Plik offers server-side encryption, one-time password (OTP) protection, and deletion upon first read, in addition to a limited lifespan and number of downloads.

Can I automate it?

Yes. Beyond the web interface, Plik provides a command-line client to integrate file sharing into your scripts, backups, or pipelines.

Where are the sent files stored?

On DINAO infrastructure in France, or on an external S3-compatible storage depending on your configuration. Your files remain on sovereign servers.

Do links really expire?

Yes. Each link has a lifespan and/or a maximum number of downloads: once the limit is reached, the file is no longer accessible and can be automatically deleted.
