Launch new.space

It's free, no credit card necessary.

What is new.space?

new.space is the easiest, fastest way to securely share links, notes, and files, get feedback, and plan what’s next. Use a single Space — with everything side-by-side — to tame the chaos of tabs, docs, videos, and files spread across too many apps and services.

new.space is available in your browser everywhere and your iPhone. It is free to use anonymously, to create short-lived spaces to share with anyone. Create a free account to make spaces that do not expire, and upgrade to Space+ to share up to 100GB of content.

Is there an iOS app?

Yes. Visit new.space/app to download new.space for iOS from the App Store

Is there an Android app?

new.space is a PWA (progressive web app) and can be installed to your Android homescreen right from Chrome.

Is there an iPad app?

While new.space for iOS will install and run on an iPad, the best experience today is to install the PWA (progressive web app) at new.space to the iPad’s homescreen.

To install new.space to your iPad’s Home Screen, first visit new.space in Safari on your iPad. Tap the system share button and select “Add to Home Screen”. After doing so, you’ll see the new.space icon on your iPad next to all your other apps.

How do I create a new shared space? Do I need an account?
  • Open a new browser tab and visit new.space to get a fresh space. That’s it; no signup or account is required.
  • You can add links to articles, photos from a recent trip, or documents to discuss in your next meeting – a space can contain any type of content. Plus, everything added to a space is end-to-end encrypted. We cannot see the content you are sharing.
  • Signing up for a free account will allow you to see all of your spaces on all of your devices and will allow you to create spaces that do not expire.
How do I create a new.space account?

It’s easy to create an account on new.space. On the web, when inside a space, open the sidebar by clicking on the icon in the upper-left-hand corner. In the sidebar, you can sign up for an account by clicking “Continue with Apple” to link your iCloud account to new.space. Otherwise, click “Continue with Mail” to create an account using your email.

It’s just as easy on iOS. First, download our iPhone app from the App Store. After opening the app, tap on “Sign in with Apple” to link your iCloud account to new.space. Otherwise, tap on “Sign in with Email” to create an account using your email.

What is a Login Key?

Your Login Key is very, very important. It’s a secret key used to decrypt your account information when signing in to new.space on a different device, such as when you sign in to new.space on a different browser or when signing in to our iOS app.

You must keep your Login Key safe and private. We recommend saving it to a password manager like 1Password or Bitwarden. Or, you can save the Login Key card to your computer’s hard drive, your iPhone’s Files app, or a cloud drive product like iCloud Drive.

When you first create an account on new.space, we prompt you to save your Login Key somewhere safe. If you want to view or save it later, you can always access it inside our apps. On new.space, open settings by clicking on your account button in the sidebar. Then, click on Login Key Card to view your Login Key or save it. In our iOS app, open settings by tapping on your account button. Then, tap on Account Options and Login Key Card to view your Login Key or save it.

What is an Account Key?

Account Key is just another name for your Login Key.

What do I get with a free new.space account?

A free account allows one to sign into all their devices and see the same list of spaces everywhere. Spaces created with a free account do not expire. And all free accounts come with 2GB of base storage. When you need more storage space, upgrade to Space+ in new.space for iOS to increase your base storage to 100GB 💪

What is the difference between Shareup and new.space?

Shareup is the company and new.space is our first product.

new.space is our first product. It’s is the easiest, fastest way to securely share links, notes, and files, get feedback, and plan what’s next. It’s a new way to share — a new space for collaboration.

How do I share one piece of content from a space? Can I share one item from a space?

You can copy the URL to directly link (or deep link) to an item in a space. Anyone with a direct link to an item in a space will have access to every item in the space. All sharable links include the information necessary to join and access the entire space.

If you really only want to share that single item and nothing else, we recommend creating a dedicated space for it. You can do this easily in the iOS App by long-pressing the item and choosing “Copy to Space“.

Enter selection mode, choose the items to delete, then choose “Delete”

Who has access to a space? Who can access my shared content?

Anyone with the sharable link URL or QR code will have read and write access to the space. All members can add and remove content, react with emojis, and delete the space.

  • Spaces created by an Account can be Locked by the Account who owns the space. Locked Spaces are read-only.
