Pixeldrain have posted details of changes to expiry time for files hosted on their servers. The changes begin on 26 January 2026 and I'm repeating the message below as it's a significant change for free and paid users.
Pixeldrain is getting pretty close to running out of storage space. If the rate of growth holds on, the site will be full in about two months. I can't order more storage capacity because I'm still financially recovering from the last storage expansion. And the cost of server hardware has absolutely exploded over the past few months.
For this reason I will be reducing the expiry time for files uploaded on free and Pro accounts. The file expiry for free users will be reduced from 120 days to 60 days. And, to keep the 2x ratio with the free plan, the expiry time for Pro accounts will be reduced from 240 days to 120 days. The new file expiry times will affect all files on Pixeldrain, even those uploaded before the new limits are imposed.
File expiry only happens for files uploaded on the home page or dashboard of the site, these are the files which show up on the My Files page. This mechanism does not apply for files uploaded to the premium Filesystem, files uploaded there do not expire at all.
The maximum size for files on free accounts will also be reduced from 20 GB to 10 GB. Files which are larger than the new limit of 10 GB and were uploaded before the change are unaffected. The file size limit of 100 GB for all premium users will not change.
These changes will be applied on 26 January 2026.
