File to link
The general case. If it is a file, it has a link — and 2L works out what it is on the way in, so the page the recipient opens fits what you sent instead of being the same grey download box every time.
Drop anything. Leave with a link.
Drag a file onto this sheet, paste from your clipboard, or choose one below. 2L picks the right way to show it.
Replacing a link’s contents and turning downloads off are part of Plus. See the plans.
Not just somewhere to put it.
The link is the easy part. What matters is the page on the other end of it.
No format menu
You never pick a type. The bytes are examined as they arrive, and the link presents itself accordingly: a document opens in a reader, a table opens as a table, and every unsupported binary still gets a safe structural inspector.
A useful fallback for every file
More than 1,400 extensions are named. Closed, encrypted or specialist formats show their MIME type, byte profile, readable strings and hexadecimal header instead of collapsing into an anonymous download card.
One link for many files
Drop a folder’s worth and get a single link holding all of it, with a download-all button that builds the archive on demand.
Sized for real files
Up to 2 GB per file on Pro. Large uploads are chunked by the page, so a dropped connection resumes instead of starting from zero.

The same box takes all of it.
There is no format menu anywhere in this product. These pages exist because people search for them, not because 2L works differently for each one.
