Server-side fetching

Let our servers do the downloading.

Paste a link to any file on the web and dosya.dev fetches it straight into your workspace. No downloading to your device, no re-uploading, no babysitting a progress bar on a slow connection.

Included with every dosya.dev account.

The basics

Why fetch server-side?

Getting a big file from the web into your cloud storage normally means moving it through your own connection twice. Remote Downloads skips both trips.

The old way

Download the file to your device, wait, then upload it to the cloud and wait again. Twice through your connection - painful on slow or metered internet, and everything restarts if your laptop sleeps.

Remote Downloads

Paste the link and close the tab. Our servers fetch the file directly from the source into your workspace at datacenter speed. Your connection carries nothing but the click.

How it works

Paste a link, walk away

  1. 1

    Paste a direct file link

    Any public https link that points at a file - a dataset, an installer, a video, a backup archive. Pick the destination folder and hit Fetch.

  2. 2

    Our servers fetch it in resumable pieces

    The file streams into your workspace in checkpointed chunks. If anything is interrupted mid-transfer, the download picks up where it left off - no starting over, even on files that take hours.

  3. 3

    Watch progress from anywhere

    A live progress ring follows you through the app while a download runs, and the Remote download page shows every job with its percentage. Close the tab entirely - the download keeps going.

  4. 4

    It lands like any other file

    The finished file appears in your workspace exactly like an upload: share it, organize it, sync it to your devices, or send it on - immediately.

Built for big files

Designed to finish the job

Up to 1 TB per file

Fetch files far beyond what a browser download can survive - datasets, disk images, footage.

Resumable by design

Progress is checkpointed continuously. Interruptions resume instead of restarting from zero.

Zero load on your internet

The transfer happens between our servers and the source. Slow hotel Wi-Fi is no longer your bottleneck.

Live progress everywhere

A progress ring in the sidebar follows you across the app, with per-file detail one hover away.

Instantly ready to use

Finished downloads behave like uploads: share links, folders, sync and apps all work immediately.

Fetched safely

Secure https sources only, with every redirect checked before a single byte is fetched.

Worth knowing

The fine print, in plain words

Direct file links only

The link must point at the file itself. Share pages - a Google Drive or Dropbox preview link, for example - serve a web page, not a file, and will be politely rejected with an explanation.

Fair-use limits

Up to 3 downloads can run at the same time, and up to 20 per day per workspace. Fetched files count toward your storage like any other file.

Only fetch what you're allowed to

Remote Downloads is for content you have the right to store - your backups, open datasets, purchased media, public releases. The usual terms of service apply.

Stop babysitting downloads.

Paste a link, close the laptop, and find the file waiting in your workspace. Included with every plan.

Resumable up to 1 TB per file. Your connection carries nothing but the click.
