The short version

Is Cloudup still working?

Partly. cloudup.com still loads, so existing accounts and links may still work, but Cloudup has not been open to new users for years.

Cloudup let you share streams of video, photos, music, links and files by drag and drop. Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, bought it in September 2013. By 2018 the signup form asked for a signup code, and a user who contacted Cloudup was told new registrations were not being accepted. We found no official shutdown notice. A status tracker logged a one-hour Cloudup outage in September 2023, which was resolved.

Bottom line: if you already use Cloudup, your links may still open, so move anything important to a tool you control. If you need file sharing today, pick a tool that accepts new users.
