Is usersdrive.com a scam?

Our automated security review marked usersdrive.com as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.

Is usersdrive.com safe to use?

usersdrive.com currently scores 54/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

Does usersdrive.com have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. usersdrive.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 46 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

How old is the usersdrive.com domain?

usersdrive.com is 9.2 years old, registered on 3/29/2017 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

Has usersdrive.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

1 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged usersdrive.com as malicious or suspicious (1 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.

Is usersdrive.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. usersdrive.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is usersdrive.com hosted?

usersdrive.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

How often is the usersdrive.com report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 12, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around usersdrive.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

Confidence

UsersDrive operates as a legitimate-looking file-sharing platform registered in 2017, and some independent trust sites rate it as safe. However, multiple credible sources document serious abuse: MyWOT reports hosting of cracked software and fake DMCA responses; GitHub discussions link usersdrive.com file URLs to scam distributions using curl attacks; and ANY.RUN malware analysis confirms executable files dropped from the platform with malicious activity verdicts. The platform is widely used in piracy communities (Reddit r/Piracy, r/FileHosts) where uploaded files frequently contain adware, stealers, or fake cracks. While the domain itself is not flagged by major browser blocklists and has valid SSL, the consistent pattern of malware-laden downloads and poor content moderation creates genuine risk for users who download files from it.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The site presents as a straightforward file-sharing service with drag-and-drop upload, file links, password protection, and remote-upload features. It includes standard pages (Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, DMCA, FAQ) and social links to Facebook and YouTube. However, contact information is minimal: no email on the site's own domain, no phone number, and no postal address — typical of services that prioritize anonymity over accountability.

Infrastructure

Domain registered via GoDaddy in March 2017 (9 years old). SSL certificate is valid (Google Trust Services issuer, 46 days to expiry). Hosting IP 104.21.13.101 has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. The site loads external resources from legitimate CDNs (Cloudflare, Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager) and its own API endpoints. One antivirus engine (Chong Lua Dao) flags the domain as malicious; browser blocklists remain clean.

Domain History

The domain has been active for over 9 years with privacy-protected WHOIS registration. No legitimate business entity, owner name, or physical address is publicly associated with it. The long registration age and stable infrastructure suggest operational continuity rather than a short-lived scam, but the privacy protection and lack of business transparency are consistent with services designed to avoid accountability.

Web Reputation

Conflicting signals: an independent review aggregator, Gridinsoft, and ClearWebStats rate the site as safe or legit with positive trust scores (79/100 on Gridinsoft). However, MyWOT documents hosting of cracked software, fake DMCA responses, and poor moderation. GitHub discussions and ANY.RUN malware analysis link specific file downloads from usersdrive.com to malicious executables and scam distributions. The platform is heavily used in piracy communities where uploaded files routinely contain adware, stealers, or trojans regardless of the host's stated policies.

Risk Factors

Documented malware distribution: ANY.RUN analysis confirms executable files dropped from the platform with malicious activity verdicts.
Cracked software and adware hosting: MyWOT and community reports link usersdrive.com to distribution of illegally cracked software and adware-laden downloads.
Scam distribution vector: GitHub discussions document usersdrive.com file URLs used in curl-attack scams to trick users into running malicious commands.
Poor content moderation and DMCA handling: MyWOT reports that DMCA complaints are faked and return 500 errors, suggesting minimal abuse response.
No legitimate business identity: Privacy-protected WHOIS, no company name, owner, or physical address publicly available.
Piracy ecosystem integration: Widely used on Reddit piracy communities (r/Piracy, r/FileHosts) where uploaded files frequently contain malware or adware.
Single antivirus detection: Chong Lua Dao flags the domain as malicious, though broader AV consensus is not reached.

Positive Signals

9-year domain age (registered March 2017) suggests operational continuity rather than ephemeral scam.
Valid SSL certificate with reputable issuer (Google Trust Services).
Hosting IP has zero abuse reports and clean reputation score.
Some independent trust aggregators (an independent review aggregator, Gridinsoft, ClearWebStats) rate it as safe or legit.
Browser blocklists remain clean; no major blocklist hits detected.

AI Recommendation

Do not download files from UsersDrive unless you can verify their source and legitimacy through independent means. If you must use the service, assume uploaded files may contain malware, adware, or trojans regardless of file names or descriptions. Consider using established, moderated file-sharing services with active abuse teams instead.

Research summary

Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

Our research uncovered significant concerns alongside positive trust ratings. MyWOT reports hosting of illegally cracked software, possible malware or adware, and faked DMCA responses that return 500 errors. GitHub discussions document usersdrive.com file URLs used in curl-attack scams to trick users into running malicious commands. ANY.RUN malware analysis confirms that files downloaded from the platform drop executable files with malicious activity verdicts. The platform is widely used in piracy communities (Reddit r/Piracy, r/FileHosts) where uploaded files frequently contain adware, stealers, or trojans. Conversely, an independent review aggregator, Gridinsoft, and ClearWebStats rate the site as safe or legit with positive traffic signals, though these assessments may reflect the platform's operational legitimacy rather than the safety of user-uploaded content.
