In today’s guide, I will share the steps to install FileLinked on FireStick. The instructions provided in this guide apply to all versions of Fire TV & android devices. I have also covered how you can use Filelinked to sideload other third-party apps on FireStick.
FileLinked is a bulk file downloading and sharing tool. It also a sideloading tool widely used by FireStick users.
Downloading third-party apps on FireStick typically requires us to type a long URL. But once you have FileLinked installed on your device, downloading third-party apps becomes a lot easier. That’s because FileLinked converts download links into a numeric code. All you have to enter the numeric code and install multiple apps, with as few clicks as possible. No need to enter those long URLs anymore.
Apart from that, you can also create your codes and share photos, media, files, and more with your friends or family.
With so much to offer, FileLinked had to be a part of our Best FireStick Apps list. It is also one of the best Jailbreak Apps you must have on your FireStick.
UPDATE!! FileLinked has been shut down!
How to Install FileLinked on FireStick
FileLinked is not a part of the Amazon Appstore. That means, we need to sideload it first using the Downloader app. This installation procedure is divided into three easy-to-follow steps. Please follow the steps:
1: Install the Downloader App
Now, if you don’t have the Downloader app already. You need to install it first. Here’s what you need to do:

5. Click Downloader icon
6. Click Get / Download
7. Once the app downloads, you will see the Open button
2: Enable Install Unknown Apps for Downloader
Our next step is to enable Install unknown apps for Downloader. This feature stays OFF by default. But to install third-party apps, we must enable it. Here is what you need to do:

2. Go to the menu bar again and choose the Gear Icon (Settings)
