Share large files on Slack the simple way.
Slack caps file size and the uploads pile up against your workspace storage. Upload your file to SAVEDLY instead, then drop one clean link into the channel. No size limit, no storage hit, and an optional password for anything private.
Programs (.exe, .msi, .bat…) can't be uploaded directly. Put them in a .zip or .rar first.
No size limit
Share files far larger than Slack's upload cap, from big videos to full design exports and archives.
One link in any channel
Paste a single clean link into a channel or DM, and teammates open it with no app and no extra account.
Optional password
Lock a work file with a password so only the right people on the team can open the link you shared.
Frequently asked questions
How do I share a large file on Slack?
Upload the file to SAVEDLY, which has no size limit, then paste the link it gives you into the Slack channel or DM. Teammates open the link and view or download the file without hitting Slack's upload cap.
What is the Slack file size limit?
Slack caps how large a single upload can be and counts uploads against your workspace storage. Sharing a link instead avoids both, since the file lives on SAVEDLY and only a short link goes into Slack.
Does this use up our Slack storage?
No. Because you post a link rather than uploading the file to Slack, it does not count against your workspace storage. That keeps the workspace clean even when you share big files often.
Can I keep a shared work file private?
Yes. Add an optional password when you upload, so only people with the password can open the link. Share the password through a separate channel from the link for the best protection.
Do teammates need an account to open it?
No. Anyone with the link opens the file on a normal web page with no sign up, and videos and images preview inline. Files with no traffic for 7 days are auto-deleted, so keep a master copy of anything important.
