WayShare and FlorenFile: hosts without an API

WayShare and FlorenFile have no API. The panel signs in on their website with your login and password, the way you would in a browser. When a site asks for a captcha on its sign-in form, you give the panel your browser’s session cookie instead of the password.

Where to find it: Links & files → File Hosters → tab “File Hosters”.

Before you start

  • An account on wayshare.cc or florenfile.com.

Connect the account

  1. Add the host

    Click “Add file hoster” and pick the WayShare or FlorenFile tile. The chips read “through the site, no API” and “login and password”, and a hint explains that the panel signs in on the site with your account. Instead of a key you see two fields, “Login” and “Password” (the eye icon shows the password). There is no API URL.

    WayShare and FlorenFile take a login and a password.
    Fig. 1 WayShare picked: a login and a password instead of an API key.

  2. Enter the login and password

    Type the login and the password of your account on the host and click “Add”. When both are saved, the card gets a green person badge. Without them the balance place reads “no login”.

    With a login the card shows the balance; without it — “no login”.
    Fig. 2 Left: WayShare with a saved login shows its balance. Right: FlorenFile without a login reads “no login”.

  3. Check that sign-in works

    Click “Test connection” (the plug icon) or “Account info” (the i icon). If the panel signed in, you see the account’s login, balance, storage, referrals and premium.

If the site asks for a captcha

A server cannot pass a captcha, so a site that shows hCaptcha, reCAPTCHA, Turnstile or a picture code on its sign-in form — FlorenFile, for example — cannot be signed in with a password. The error then says that the site asks for a captcha. Give the panel your browser session instead:

  1. Sign in in your browser

    Open the host’s website in your own browser and sign in as usual, solving the captcha.

  2. Copy the xfss cookie

    Open the browser’s DevTools → Application → Cookies → the host’s site, and copy the value of the cookie named xfss.

  3. Paste it as the password

    On the card click the person button “Login settings”. In “Password” paste xfss=<the copied value> — a whole Cookie line that contains xfss works too. Click “Save”.

    For a site with a captcha, paste the browser's xfss cookie as the password.
    Fig. 3 “Login Settings” of a FlorenFile account. The hint at the top describes the cookie method.

The panel never tries to solve a captcha. When one is on the form it does not even send your login, so your account on the host gets no failed sign-ins.

A session cookie ends when the site signs you out or when it expires. The panel then reports that the site did not accept the session cookie. Sign in in your browser again and paste the new xfss value the same way.

What works with these hosts

  • The balance on the card, “Account info” (Login, Balance, Storage with a usage bar, Referrals, Premium, Premium Expires) and the last 7 days of downloads and views — see Balances, statistics and Telegram alerts.
  • Balance history and Telegram alerts.
  • Find Dead Links: “Search on …” and “Check on Hoster” look for files with the same name in your account.
  • The Scanner recognises their links and checks them with a plain web request.

Settings

FieldWhat to enter
LoginThe login of your account on the host’s website.
PasswordThe account’s password — or, for a site with a captcha, the session cookie xfss=… from your browser. In “Login settings”, leave it empty to keep the saved value.

Troubleshooting

What you seeWhat to do
“Password not configured”Open “Login settings” on the card and enter the password (or the xfss cookie).
“Failed to connect to WayShare. Check login/password.”Check the login and password by signing in on the site yourself. If the site shows a captcha, use the cookie method.
The error says the site asks for a captchaSign in in your browser and paste xfss=… into “Password”.
The error says the site did not accept the session cookieThe cookie expired or the site signed you out. Sign in again and paste the new value.

FAQ

Why can’t I just use an API key for WayShare?

These hosts do not offer an API, so the panel works through their website, the same way you do in a browser.

Can these accounts receive files by FTP?

“Login settings” has the same “FTP Upload” section as the other accounts — see Change the key or add FTP upload.
