Share text and code with a single link
Paste the text, pick a language and get a short link — with syntax highlighting, a password or an expiry if you need them. No sign-up required.
What is a paste, and when is it better than a file?
A paste is a piece of text — a code snippet, a log file, a config, a longer message — that you send as a link rather than as an attachment. The recipient opens it in the browser, numbered and syntax-highlighted, and copies or downloads it with one click. It is what pastebin services have done for years, except here the same sharing system stands behind it as behind FileMv's file sharing.
It beats a file whenever the content is text: nobody wants to download, open and scroll an error message or a stack trace — they want to read it. Twenty lines of code pasted into a chat fall apart; as a link they stay in one piece and keep their formatting. A file is the better choice when the content is binary, large, or simply not text — that is what the plain upload is for.
How it works: three steps
Paste the text into the field above, pick its language (or leave it as plain text) and click Create link. You get a short link you can drop anywhere: a chat, an email, a ticket, a forum. Whoever opens it sees numbered, highlighted text, with the Raw button underneath for the unformatted version — which curl can fetch too, if a script is waiting on the other end.
It works without an account: a short bot check runs and the paste is created with the default expiry. With a free account the paste also shows up in your Drive: you can edit its content later, put a password on it, extend or revoke the link — exactly like any shared file.
Visibility, password, expiry
By default a paste is unlisted: only people you send the link to can reach it, and it appears neither in search engines nor inside FileMv. Set it to public and FileMv's own search will find it. Signed in, it can also be private — the link then opens for you alone, which is just right for a note or a draft.
On a password-protected paste the recipient enters the password first and only then sees the content — the raw link is guarded the same way. The expiry applies to the link: choose anything from one day to a year, or switch it off. Pastes created as a guest are permanently deleted shortly after the link expires; those created with an account stay in your Drive and can be shared again at any time.
Frequently asked questions
How much text can I paste?
256 KiB as a guest, 1 MiB with an account — tens of thousands of lines of code or logs. The counter under the editor shows where you stand. Anything larger belongs in a file upload.
Which languages are highlighted?
The twenty-five most common: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, Kotlin, C, C++, C#, Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, SQL, Bash, PowerShell, HTML, CSS, XML, JSON, YAML, Markdown, Dockerfile, INI and diff. If you do not choose one, it is shown as plain text — just right for logs and messages.
Does the pasted code run anywhere?
No. A paste is plain text at every point: the browser displays it as text, the raw version arrives as text, and a pasted HTML page or script never executes anywhere — which is why broken pages, email sources or suspicious scripts can be shared through it safely.
Can I edit it later?
With an account, yes: the paste lives in your Drive, the Edit button lets you change its content, title or language, and the link stays the same. A paste created as a guest can be claimed after signing up, as long as you sign in from the same browser.
How do I fetch it raw, from the command line?
Every paste has a permanent Raw link that returns the text without formatting, in UTF-8 — curl or wget can download it directly, and on the shared page it is one click to copy.
