While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

This is a great service

This is a great service! I am a downloader. I used to just use the free links for File Factory which worked ok. I finally purchased the service for a week. That experience was so good I purchased the yearly subscription and I never looked back. When used in conjunction with JDownloader 2, it is fantastic! Don't wait a year or two before waiting to get th subscription. You will not regret it. Do it...Do it now!

Reliable host

I have been using FileFactory on and off for quite a while - I had a spell of using multidomain downloaders but always come back to FileFactory for reliability and honesty

Oh, I like the easy ones.

Oh, I like the easy ones. I told FileFactory about the problem. It happened, as many times it does, on the Mercury Retrograde. Andy got right after it, and fixed it in 3 days (probably two). Excuse me for old fashioned terms, but Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
Andy, you and your group get 6 stars from me!

certificate renewal

I have been with FileFactory for several years and have had two problems, which the support team took care of in a timely manor. Support is very polite and helpful.
I am extremely impressed with FileFactory.
