Why host your assets with DriveBird
Cheaper than premium hosting space
Web hosting plans charge a fortune per gigabyte. Keep your site light and park the heavy files — images, PDFs, audio, video — with us instead.
Safer than accepting uploads yourself
File upload is the riskiest thing a website does. Hand it to a service built for exactly that and stop worrying about what lands on your server.
One call, one permanent URL
Upload through the REST API and the response already carries the final CDN URL. No polling, no second step — the file is live the moment the upload finishes.
Fast everywhere
Every file is served from a global CDN with year-long immutable caching, so a visitor in another country loads your images as quickly as one next door.
Developer API
One request. One permanent URL.
Send the file with a Bearer key and the JSON reply already carries its CDN address. List, inspect and delete files the same way. Every limit and error code is documented, with curl and PHP examples.

Get startedQuestions people ask
What can I upload?
Documents (pdf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, ppt, pptx, odt, ods, txt, json), audio (mp3, wav, m4a, aac), video (mp4, mkv, mov, wmv, avi, webm, 3gp), images (png, jpg, jpeg, gif, webp, svg, ico, tiff, psd, bmp, ai) and fonts (ttf, otf, eot, woff, woff2) — up to 200 MB per file. Nothing illegal; see the Terms of Service.
Are the files public?
Yes. Every file gets a public URL on our CDN. Names carry a timestamp, so a URL is hard to guess — but anyone who has it can open it. Do not host secrets.
Can I keep files in folders?
Yes. Give each upload a bucket name — most clients use their website's host name — and the URL and your file list are grouped by it.
How do you charge?
₹5 per GB per month, measured once a day and charged for that day from your prepaid DriveBird wallet. A day that rounds below one paisa is free. There is no upload fee and downloads are never charged.
What happens if my wallet runs dry?
That day's rent becomes arrears and uploads pause; your files stay online and downloads keep working. Top up and everything resumes automatically. Only after 30 days unpaid is the account closed and its files removed — and we email you well before that.
Do you keep a backup?
No. We host what you upload; keep your own copy of anything you cannot re-create.
How do I get started?
Create a normal DriveBird account, add funds to your wallet (at least ₹50 to upload), then upload from the dashboard or mint an API key and call the REST API.
