Get free and easy IPFS upload and store your files in a more efficient, decentralized way on the Apillon platform.


Looking for free IPFS upload without the hassle? Want decentralized storage without setting up your own node? You're in the right place.

This article explains why free IPFS is a game-changer, the usual costs of IPFS pinning, and how to upload files to IPFS for free with Apillon.

Is IPFS upload free?

Yes. And no.

IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is an open-source decentralized file-sharing protocol. It works by distributing pieces of your files across multiple computers, known as IPFS nodes. In theory, anyone can upload files to IPFS for free, but there’s a catch—you need to either run your own IPFS node or rely on a decentralized storage provider to pin your content so it stays online.

That’s where free IPFS storage services come in handy. Let’s explore your options.

Where can you get free IPFS?

Several decentralized storage providers support IPFS, offering free or low-cost file storage. Some even allow you to upload entire directories, not just individual files.

One of the best options? Crust Network, the decentralized cloud storage powering Apillon’s Storage and Hosting services. Crust uses IPFS to provide decentralized storage, ensuring your files aren’t stuck on a single server that can go down at any time.

But the biggest roadblock to decentralized hosting and storage isn’t the cost—it’s the complexity. That’s why Apillon makes it ridiculously easy.
