Does FileSite give a GST invoice in India?

FileSite does not issue an India GST invoice. A GST-registered business can still reclaim the 18% through the reverse-charge route by raising a self-invoice, but there is no vendor GST invoice to claim against directly.

Is FileSite good for Indian small businesses?

It suits accountants and CAs collecting year-end documents from individual clients who will not create a portal login. It bills in a foreign currency with no India GST invoice, so expect the card forex markup and reverse-charge GST paperwork. It is not the right pick for teams that need permanent document storage, folders or multi-user access.

Does FileSite have a free plan?

FileSite lists a free plan, but check the official pricing page for current usage limits before choosing it.

FindThatSoftware verdictEditorial ruling

Shortlist FileSite if you are a CA, bookkeeper, consultant or agency who mostly needs clients to drop documents into a page that carries your firm's name, and you want something clients can use without any login. The free plan works without even signing up, so you can test the client experience in a few minutes before deciding.

Read the full verdict

Before paying, note that the Pro plan is billed monthly in pounds through an international card checkout, no annual plan, refund or cancellation terms are published, and there is no named company or GST invoice. Links are not password protected, so anyone holding the link can open the page, which matters for tax returns, ID proofs and bank statements. Compared with a shared Google Drive or Dropbox file request, you get cleaner branding and automatic deletion, but you give up permanent storage, team seats and the maturity of a large vendor.

In short

FileSite is listed under Productivity & Knowledge, reviewed for Indian buyers. All-in it runs about ₹644/mo for a GST-registered business (£4.99/mo sticker plus about 3.5% card forex). It does not issue an India GST invoice, so a registered business reclaims the GST via reverse charge. FindThatSoftware rates it best for accountants and CAs collecting year-end documents from individual clients who will not create a portal login; a poor fit for teams that need permanent document storage, folders or multi-user access.

What FileSite costs in India

The rupee price a business actually pays, after the card forex markup, with GST shown both ways.

True India price

Registered business, per month

₹644

FileSite advertises £4.99/mo. A GST-registered business in India pays about ₹644 a month (₹7,731/yr) once the roughly 3.5% card forex markup is added, with GST reclaimed as input credit. If you cannot reclaim GST, it is about ₹760 a month.

Sticker price: £4.99/mo
Card forex markup: about 3.5% over mid-market
GST: 18%, reclaimable if registered
Registered per month: ₹644
Registered per year: ₹7,731
If you can't reclaim GST: ₹760

Try first: Has a free plan, so you can start without a card.
Watch for: Pro is shown as a monthly subscription in pounds sterling, served the same way to a visitor from India, and is paid through a Stripe checkout with a Stripe customer portal for managing the subscription.
More
No annual plan, trial, refund policy or cancellation terms are published, and the site says nothing about VAT or GST, so expect a foreign card charge with forex markup and no Indian tax invoice.

Indicative, not a bill. The exchange rate is a single mid-market reference, not a live feed, and GST-registered businesses may reclaim input credit. Confirm current pricing on the vendor site.

Who FileSite fits

What it is, what you gain, what you give up, and who should look elsewhere.

What is FileSite?

FileSite is a small, recently launched web tool whose privacy policy says only that it is operated by FileSite; the contact address on its listing application points to SygmaCloud, a web and app studio whose site is written in British English and prices in pounds. It lets a professional create a branded transfer page with their company name, logo and a background theme, add files for a client to download, or leave it empty so the client can upload requested documents. Clients open one unique link and do not create an account or sign in. Each page expires after a chosen period and the terms say files are permanently deleted seven days after expiry, so it is built for temporary hand-offs rather than storage. File sizes are capped at 25 MB per file on the free plan and 50 MB on Pro, so it suits documents rather than large media. The paid Pro plan adds larger file and page limits, longer expiry windows, saved branding, a custom background, a dashboard of past transfers and a client approval record, which the terms say is not a substitute for an electronic signature.

What you gain, and what you give up.

The case for

Clients upload or download through one link with no account, sign-in or app install, which the vendor highlights and we saw on the create page
The free plan is usable without signing up at all and already carries your logo and company name
Files are purged on a published schedule, seven days after the chosen expiry, so old client documents do not linger

The catch

No legal entity, address or company number is named anywhere; the privacy policy only says FileSite is operated by FileSite
Pro is priced only in pounds, monthly, with no annual option, no published refund or cancellation terms and no mention of VAT or GST invoices
The vendor markets its links as secure, but the only protection is a hard-to-guess link and an expiry date: there is no password, PIN or recipient check, and its own terms say anyone holding a valid link can open the page and put responsibility for misdirected links on the user
Very young product: the domain was registered in July 2026 and the site has no team seats, integrations, API or published security certifications
The vendor pitches it for sending large files, but uploads are capped at 25 MB per file on the free plan and 50 MB on Pro, so big video, design or scan bundles will not fit

Best for

Accountants and CAs collecting year-end documents from individual clients who will not create a portal login
Solo consultants and small agencies on the Pro plan sending finished work for a quick client approval record
Firms that want client hand-offs deleted automatically instead of piling up in a shared drive

Who should avoid it

Teams that need permanent document storage, folders or multi-user access
Firms handling highly sensitive records that need password-protected links, audit logs or a named data processor agreement
Buyers who need an Indian GST invoice or rupee billing
