Help & support

Short answers first. If you’re stuck, send a message below.

I bought two plans / got charged twice

SilentBox keeps one active plan per account. If you upgrade, the old plan is replaced — you should not stay on two at once. Open Account → Billing portal to see charges, or send a support message with your email and we’ll sort it.

What if my subscription payment fails?

You keep access for 24 hours to download your files. After that, files are removed from your account (we retain a private backup copy for the operator until synced). Fix billing in Account → Billing portal to keep your plan.

How do I manage a room?

Open the Room tab → Manage. Change the name or access code, allow or block signed-in uploads, remove individual photos/videos, and choose whether the room clears when empty or stays until you End it.

How do I change or cancel my plan?

Sign in → Account → Billing portal. You can switch plans or cancel there. Storage limits update when Stripe confirms the change.

My upload failed or is slow

You’ll see live progress like 54% · 12 MB / 22 MB under the bar. Keep the tab open until it finishes. Very large files take longer because they’re encrypted at rest after upload. If it fails, try one file at a time or a smaller batch.

Try a smaller batch first, keep the tab open, and use a stable connection. Large videos can take a while. If it fails again, tell us the file type and size in a support message.

Someone can’t open my drop link

Timed links expire on the day you chose. Forever drops stay until you delete them (Free includes 3 concurrent forever drops). Downloads are unlimited unless you set a cap. Password-protected drops need the password.

Rooms wiped my photos

That’s expected. By default rooms stay open until the owner Ends them. Owners can turn on auto-clear when empty in Manage. Guests need the link and access code.

Who is responsible for uploaded content?

You are. SilentBox hosts files you choose to upload; we don’t control what others share. See Terms, Privacy, and Acceptable use.

I need more storage

Free is 15 GB. Plus / Pro / Pro+ add more. Open Plans to upgrade. Upgrading replaces your current plan so you don’t stack two memberships.
