Don't upload anything that can be even remotely construed as porn, copyrighted material, harassment, or spam. If you do, we will ban you, delete all your files, and prevent you from viewing any files hosted on FileBucket™. Uploading any illegal content may lead to a criminal investigation.

2. Terms of Service

If any domain hotlinks to abusive files, any file hotlinked on that domain will display this image, and the domain's owner must ensure the quick removal of all files hotlinked from FileBucket™ on that domain. Domains containing the phrases "toplist", "topsites", "porn", or "hentai" are banned regardless of abuse.

Uploading abusive files may result in the immediate termination of the user's ability to use FileBucket™ or any of its provided services. The FileBucket™ website may not load, all FileBucket™-hosted files may not load, and all files and accounts related to the abusive files will be subject to deletion. Circumventing FileBucket™'s ability to enforce the FileBucket™ Terms of Service will result in prosecution as well as the standard procedure of user suspention and if necessary, to IP ban.
