Your agent just built the thing. A PDF report, a CSV of competitor prices, a
chart for tomorrow’s meeting. Then it says the file is at
/tmp/output/report.pdf.
That path is on a machine you may never see. If the agent ran in the cloud, in CI, or on a server, the file is stuck there. If you want to send it to someone, you’re the one downloading and re-uploading it.
The usual fix is a storage account: a bucket, a key, a permission policy. Your agent can’t sign up for any of that, so the task stops and waits for you.
Upload, get a link
We asked an agent to share a small pricing CSV. It bought an upload slot, sent the file, and came back with a public URL:
Put pricing-comparison.csv somewhere I can download it and send me the link.
- Found file hosting on TaskFuel: $0.005 for 7 days
- Paid $0.005
- Uploaded pricing-comparison.csv
Done. Here's your link. It works in any browser until Oct 19.
pricing-comparison.csvPublic link · expires 2026-10-19OpenPaid from your TaskFuel balance · $0.005
Half a cent for one file up to 10 MB, kept for seven days. The link opens in any browser, so you can paste it into Slack or an email without explaining anything.
Bigger files and longer links cost more. Each slot is one file:
| File up to | Kept 7 days | Kept 6 months |
|---|---|---|
| 10 MB | $0.005 | $0.02 |
| 100 MB | $0.02 | $0.20 |
| 1 GB | $0.10 | $2.00 |
| 5 GB | $0.50 | Not offered |
A 7-day link to a file up to 10 MB can also be renewed a week at a time for $0.005, up to 30 days from the upload. Your agent sees the price before it pays, so it picks the tier that fits.
When TaskFuel is worth it
If you’re sitting at the same machine as your agent, you don’t need this. Open the file.
A free Google Drive or Dropbox account does the same job by hand, and for one file a week that’s fine. It stops being fine when the agent runs somewhere else, or when sharing the file is one step in a longer run and you’d rather not be the step.
Links are unguessable but public. Don’t upload anything you wouldn’t send by email.
One file. Half a cent.
Connect your agent and the first $1 is on us.
Put the report you just made somewhere I can download it, and give me the link. Keep it for a week and tell me what it cost.
