Share .7z files
Share a 7Z file with anyone — just send the link
Drop your .7z file, name the link and send it. They download the original in one click — no attachment limit, no shared-drive permissions, nothing converted along the way.
- One-click download of the untouched original
- No attachment limit, no 'request access'
- Replace it later and the same link shows the new version
Drop the 7Z file you want to share
Any other file works too — up to 25.0 MB, or 100.0 MB for a whole site
Why share a 7Z file as a link?
Zips are how you send lots of files together — and they're also what email filters are most suspicious of. A link delivers the archive as a one-click download, without the attachment limit and without the recipient needing access to a shared folder.
Usually you'd be sending it to a client, a colleague or anyone who needs a bundle of files at once. They don't need an account, and you don't need to know which app or device they'll open it on.

On their side
What the person you send it to sees
They tap the link and the .7z file (7-Zip archive) downloads straight away, exactly as you uploaded it, ready to open in 7-Zip on Windows or whatever they use for .7z files.
What they need
- 7-Zip on Windows, free and open source
- Keka and The Unarchiver on macOS
- p7zip on Linux
- No account — the download starts from the link
Sending a 7Z file: link vs. the usual ways
What happens to a .7z file when you email it, drop it in a chat or put it in a cloud drive — and what changes when you send a link instead.
Email attachment
Mail providers cap attachment size and block archives that contain certain file types.
Chat app
Chat apps flag or block archives, and cap their size well below what a bundle of files needs.
Cloud drive
Drives make recipients open a folder, request access and zip it themselves — or split big downloads.
A 99helpers link
The original file, byte for byte, at a link you choose. Password it, see how often it's opened, and replace it at the same link whenever you need to.
Sharing takes about ten seconds
- 1
Drop it
Drag your .7z file onto the box, or pick it from your computer or phone.
- 2
Name the link
Choose the words: q3-report.99helpers.site reads better than a random string.
- 3
Send it anywhere
Paste the link into an email, a chat, a document, a bio or a QR code.
When people share archives like this
Delivering a project
Hand over every file in one download.
Sending a photo set
Bundle a shoot's selects into one link.
Sharing source code
Give people a project they can unpack and run.
Distributing assets
A single link to a press kit, a font pack or a template bundle.
What people send .7z files for
- Large software distributions and backups
- Archives where every megabyte counts
- Encrypted bundles where filenames should also be hidden
- Collections of many small files, which LZMA handles very efficiently
Before you share your 7Z file
- Check what's inside before you send it — archives hide files easily.
- Keep it under the size limit; split very large sets into a few archives.
- Name the address after the contents (brand-assets, photos-march).
- Use a password for anything private.
Sending the link isn't the end of it
An attachment is gone the moment you press send. A link is still yours: you decide who can open it, what it shows and how long it stays.
Fix it after sending
Upload a corrected version to the same link. Everyone who has it sees the new one; old versions are kept.
Keep it private
Add a password so only the people you give it to can open the link.
Know it was opened
See how many times the link has been visited, so you're not left wondering.
Take it back
Delete it and the link stops working — something you can't do with an email attachment.
Sharing 7Z files: questions
How do I share a .7z file?+
Drop it on this page, choose the words for your link, and publish. You get an address like your-name.99helpers.site to paste into an email, a chat, a document or a QR code. Whoever clicks it gets the file as a download.
Does the person I send it to need an account?+
No account is needed. They click the link and the file downloads; to open it they'll need 7-Zip on Windows or another app that reads .7z files.
Can I share a 7Z file privately?+
Yes. Add a password when you publish and only people you give it to can open the link. You can also ask for a name and email before the file is shown.
What if I need to change the file after sending the link?+
Upload the new version to the same address. Everyone who has the link gets the update, and the previous versions are kept in case you need one back.
Can I share several 7Z files at once?+
Yes. Drop a folder or a .zip instead of a single file and everything goes out under one link, each file at its own address inside it. How much you can upload depends on your plan — the limits are on the pricing page.
Why share a zip as a link instead of attaching it?+
Mail providers limit attachment size and block archives that contain certain file types. A link avoids both — the recipient just clicks to download.
Can people see what's inside before downloading?+
Not from the archive itself. If you want the files browsable, drop the folder instead of the zip and each file gets its own address.
Sharing something else?
Want it online for good?
If the file should stay at a permanent public address — a download page, an embed, part of a site — see host a 7z archive.
