# QuickUp

QuickUp is a free, open-source desktop utility for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It adds file-upload actions to the native file manager. A user right-clicks a file, chooses a supported host, and QuickUp uploads the file directly to that host and copies the returned URL to the clipboard.

## Supported file hosts

| Host | Retention | Max file | Notes |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- |
| Catbox | Permanent | 200 MB | Simple persistent links |
| x0.at | 3–100 days | 1 GB | Temporary hosting; smaller files generally last longer |

## Privacy and data flow

Files are sent from the user's computer directly to the third-party host selected by the user. QuickUp itself does not operate an intermediary upload server. The selected host's own privacy, retention, logging, and file-type policies still apply.
