Obleevo and Filemail, side by side
Filemail keeps a file on its servers for up to 7 days. Obleevo keeps it nowhere: it goes from your browser to the other person’s, end to end encrypted, while you are both in the room. It is free, with no account and no ads.
1. Side by side
Free plans. Every figure about Filemail comes from its own public pages, read on 16 October 2026, and nothing was guessed.

2. When Filemail is the better choice
Obleevo needs both people online at the same time. A link that waits days for someone who is offline is something Obleevo does not do. Filemail keeps a file for up to 7 days, so the other person can collect it later. When that is what you need, Filemail is the better choice.
3. How to switch
- Open obleevo.com.
- Create a room.
- Send the invite link. The other person accepts each file.
