Files will be removed if they have not been viewed for 90 days.
A view is counted when someone visits the file's download page
(pixeldrain.com/u/somefile) or views the file through a list the

< h3 > Do I need to register an account?< / h3 >
< p >
Not if you don't want to. You're free to use pixeldrain
completely anonymously. Without a pixeldrain account you can
upload files, download files and create lists of files. And view
your uploaded files on the < a href = "/history" > history page< / a > .
This page only shows files which were uploaded anonymously in
this web browser.
< / p >
< p >
By registering an account on pixeldrain you will be able to
access your files from any device with a web browser. Files you
upload and lists you create will be linked to your pixeldrain
account and will show up on your < a href = "/user" > personal home
page< / a > .
< / p >
< h3 > Does pixeldrain cost any money?< / h3 >
< p >
No, pixeldrain is completely free at the moment. While there is
an advertisement on the file downloading page, it doesn't
generate nearly enough revenue to pay for maintaining this
service. That's why I'd really appreciate it if you could spare
some coins. Possible methods for donating are:

I'm currently paying for the Sia storage myself, since the site
doesn't have a revenue model yet. I'd appreciate it if you could
send some Siacoins my way:

This address goes directly to the wallet on this server which is
used for uploading files to Sia :). I promise you it will be put
to good use!
