Upload File From URL is a convenient Chrome extension that streamlines the process of uploading files from the internet. Instead of downloading files to your computer first, you simply provide the file's URL, and the extension automatically uploads the file directly into the webpage's file input.

This tool is perfect for sharing images or documents on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, uploading to cloud storage services, or posting content to sites such as 9gag. It saves time and disk space by eliminating the need to store files locally before uploading.

For a quick demo, watch it in action on YouTube. Icons used in the extension are sourced from www.flaticon.com.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Upload file from URL requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
