No — data can’t transfer between Fileflare accounts. Each Fileflare account is bound to a specific Shopify store via Shopify’s auth model, so there’s no way to share or migrate accounts. If you’re moving data between stores, you’ll need to re-upload manually or use shared S3 storage.
Applies on all plans. The technical reason: Shopify treats each store as a separate, isolated tenant in its API model. Apps authenticate per-store, with no cross-store identity. Fileflare can’t link accounts even if we wanted to.
Common scenarios
Moving from one Shopify store to another
If you’re closing one store and opening another, your Fileflare data on the old store doesn’t carry. Practical options:
- Re-upload manually: download your files from the old Fileflare account (or your local backup), install Fileflare on the new store, upload again, attach to products. Tedious but reliable.
- Connect a shared S3 bucket: if both stores connect your own S3 (or R2) as the storage backend, both Fileflare accounts read from the same bucket. Files don’t need re-uploading; you just re-attach them to products on the new store.
Running multiple stores
Each store needs its own Fileflare account and subscription. Multi-store discounts (10-35% off) apply across all your stores — see multi-store discounts.
Migrating between Shopify plans on the same store
This isn’t a transfer — Fileflare doesn’t care about Shopify plan changes as long as the store identity is the same. Your data stays put.
Best practice: keep your own backups
Fileflare stores files but isn’t a backup service. Always keep your own copies of your digital files locally or in a separate cloud storage. If anything goes wrong — uninstall by mistake, store closure, etc. — you’ll have the originals to re-upload.
