# Project-level Secure Files API **(FREE)**

> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/78227) in GitLab 14.8. [Deployed behind the `ci_secure_files` flag](../administration/feature_flags.md), disabled by default.
> - [Feature flag removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/350748) in GitLab 15.7.

Limited to 100 secure files per project. Files must be smaller than 5 MB. Project-level Secure Files is an experimental feature developed by [GitLab Incubation Engineering](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/incubation/).
