LimeWire

LimeWire is a browser-based file sharing service that combines encrypted uploads, link sharing and AI tools for images, video and documents. LimeWire serves people who need to move files between devices or share files with others. Sharing starts without an account or software installation: an uploaded file produces a link that can be sent to someone else.

LimeWire shares its name with the former peer-to-peer client, but the current service was rebuilt from scratch as a web service after the name was acquired by a different company. LimeWire states that nothing from the original peer-to-peer network was carried over. The current product runs in a browser rather than through that earlier network.

LimeWire combines file transfer, storage and editing in the same service. LimeWire accepts files without file type restrictions, including video, archives, design files and raw footage. The website also lists AI tools for images, video and documents, although the supplied page does not explain individual AI operations or their workflows.

LimeWire accepts uploads through a file selector, drag-and-drop area or folder selection. LimeWire then provides a link for sharing the uploaded content. Anonymous sharing does not require registration. For uploads made without an account, the encryption key stays on the device and is carried in the sharing link, so access depends on having that link.

LimeWire accounts keep uploaded files in one place and raise daily limits. Free and anonymous upload links remain live for 3 days from the completion of the upload, after which files are removed and old links stop working. Paid-plan links do not expire automatically, and subscribers can set an expiry date when needed.

LimeWire addresses occasional file sharing, regular sharing and editing of large files, and storage at scale through its different plans. LimeWire supports people exchanging media or other large files without restricting file types. The browser-based workflow also suits sharing situations where installing software or creating an account is not desirable.

LimeWire offers a free plan with uploads up to 4 GB, 40 GB of storage and file expiry after 3 days. LimeWire Pro costs $9.99 per month or $95.90 billed yearly, with uploads up to 250 GB and 2 TB of storage. LimeWire Pro+ costs $19.99 per month or $199.99 billed yearly, with uploads up to 500 GB and 4 TB of storage.

LimeWire prices subscriptions in US dollars and allows plan changes or cancellation through account settings. LimeWire includes encryption and file editing tools on every plan. The free plan allows 20 downloads per file daily, while paid plans allow 30. Both paid plans list 999 pinned uploads and files that never expire.

LimeWire combines account-free access, browser-based use and encryption on every plan. LimeWire also accepts any file type, making the same sharing process available for archives, design files and media. Larger transfers and longer-lived links are available through paid subscriptions, while free sharing has explicit size, retention and download limits.
