About FileDue
FileDue helps freelancers get paid before handing over final files. Instead of uploading finished work to a cloud folder, sending an invoice, and hoping the client pays later, FileDue turns delivery into a paid step. Upload your deliverables, set a price, and share one secure link with your client. The files stay locked until payment is completed through Stripe, then unlock automatically for download. It is built for freelancers and small studios who deliver digital work to clients: designers sending brand assets, developers handing over source code, writers delivering final copy, photographers sending edited galleries, video editors sharing final exports, and translators delivering finished documents or subtitle files. Clients do not need a FileDue account. They open the link, see what is included, pay by card through Stripe, and download the unlocked files. FileDue is not a general file-sharing tool or a replacement for contracts, deposits, or project management. It is for the final handoff: when the work is approved, the files are ready, and payment should happen before download. Key features: - Payment-gated file delivery - Secure delivery links - Stripe Connect payments - No client account required - EU and US file storage options - Files available for 30 days after payment - First 3 paid links free - 2% per paid link after that - No subscription No payment, no files.

- Pay-per-use model with no monthly subscription fees and the first three links included for free.
- Automated unlocking of files up to 5GB once payment is confirmed via Stripe Connect.
- Seamless client experience requiring no account creation to view previews or settle balances.
- Enhanced security features including watermarked file previews and EU/US storage options.
Ideal for: Freelancers, solopreneurs, and agencies who need to ensure payment is received immediately upon the delivery of digital assets.

Protected previews, archive contents + larger delivery limits
Three major updates shipped this week: 🔒 Protected previews — clients can now review watermarked previews of images, videos before paying. Enough to verify the work, not enough to use the final deliverables. 🗂 Archive contents — ZIP files now show their contents before payment. Clients can see exactly what files are included without downloading anything. 📦 Larger deliveries — FileDue now supports up to 5GB total and 500 files per link, making it suitable for design packages, photo galleries, video exports, code archives, and more. The goal remains the same: let freelancers deliver work confidently and get paid before releasing final files.

Smart solution to lock files until clients pay and then deliver automatically!

Built FileDue because sending finished work before payment feels backwards. Upload files, set a price, send one link. Client pays through Stripe, then files unlock. No payment, no files.
