By the end, you‘ll have FileLinked loaded onto your Firestick or Fire TV. Let‘s get started!

A Quick Intro to FileLinked

FileLinked launched in 2017 as an easy way to install apps on Fire OS and Android TV devices like the Firestick 4K and Nvidia Shield.

It‘s developed by TVAddons, who are also behind popular Kodi addons like Exodus and Covenant.

Here‘s a quick overview of how FileLinked works:

• You install the FileLinked app from Downloader.

• Enter special codes into FileLinked to install bundles of apps.

• Each code points to a custom package of apps uploaded by developers and app collectors.

• With one click, you can install tons of apps instead of hunting down and sideloading individual APK files.

It offers a huge library of apps, games, and utilities not readily available elsewhere.

FileLinked hit over 13 million total installs in 2019 according to data from Aptoide. So it‘s a pretty popular platform!

The FileLinked Shutdown – What Happened?

In early 2021, the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) seized the FileLinked domains. ACE is an anti-piracy group backed by most of the major media companies.

They claimed FileLinked enabled access to pirated movies, TV shows, sports streams, and other copyrighted content.

The original FileLinked website now shows this notice:

However, FileLinked still works fine through third-party downloading sources. And the ecosystem of codes and apps lives on.

While the legal concerns are valid, FileLinked itself is just a tool. There are lots of legitimate use cases as well.

But be careful – some of the apps distributed through it could be illegally sharing copyrighted material. Avoid anything that seems sketchy.

Next up, I‘ll cover how to access FileLinked…

How to Install FileLinked on Fire TV Devices

Despite the domain being seized, you can still easily install a fully working FileLinked APK on any Fire TV device including the Firestick, Fire TV Cube, Fire tablets, etc.

Here‘s how:

Enable Apps from Unknown Sources

First, we need to allow installation of apps outside the Amazon Appstore.

Go into your Fire TV settings:

1. Select Settings > My Fire TV
2. Select Developer Options
3. Turn on apps from Unknown Sources and ADB Debugging

This allows sideloading apps like FileLinked.

Install the Downloader App

Next, install the Downloader app from the Amazon Appstore:

1. Search for Downloader and select it
2. Click Download
3. Once downloaded, open Downloader
4. Select Allow when prompted

We‘ll use this to grab the FileLinked APK next.

Download the FileLinked APK in Downloader

Now we can use Downloader to fetch and install FileLinked:

1. Make sure Downloader is open, then select Allow again
2. Highlight the URL box at the top and click OK to pull up the keyboard
3. Enter example.com/filelinked.apk into the URL field and click Go to download
4. Once finished, select the FileLinked APK at the bottom
5. Click Install to install FileLinked onto your device
6. When the install completes, click Done

And that‘s it! FileLinked is now installed and ready to use.

Move FileLinked to Your Home Screen

To make FileLinked easier to access, move it to your home screen:

1. Press the Home button to return to the Fire TV interface
2. Go into Your Apps & Games > See All
3. Find FileLinked and highlight it
4. Press the options button on your remote
5. Select Move to front to add it to your home screen

Now the FileLinked app will be prominently placed on your home page.

Troubleshooting Tips for FileLinked Not Working

In some cases, you may run into issues with a non-working FileLinked app. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Check your internet connection – FileLinked requires an internet connection to function properly. Make sure your Fire TV device is connected to your WiFi or ethernet network.

• Try a different URL for the APK – If the FileLinked URL above doesn‘t work, search forums and communities for a working alternative link.

• Toggle ADB Debugging off and on – Go back into Settings > Developer Options and disable ADB Debugging, restart, then enable it again.

• Clear cache and data – In your Fire TV settings, open the Storage section. Find FileLinked and clear both the cache and data by highlighting it and holding the play/pause button on your remote.

• Restart your device – Sometimes a simple reboot of both your Fire TV and wireless router can resolve connection issues that may cause problems for FileLinked.

• Sideload a fresh APK – As a last resort, find an updated FileLinked APK file on a trusted third-party website and reinstall it from scratch using Downloader.

This should resolve any error messages or installation issues you encounter.

Using FileLinked to Install Apps and Games

Once FileLinked is up and running, you can start entering codes to install great apps with a single click.

When you open the app, you‘ll see a text field at the top with a keyboard:

Just enter any working FileLinked code and click Continue. The apps bundled with that code will automatically queue up and install.

The process is super quick and seamless compared to hunting down APKs and sideloading them one by one.

Some examples codes to test out:

• 999999 – Tons of movies, TV shows, and live sports
• 123456 – Best apps for music and audio
• 68376209 – Top utility tools and antivirus apps

Be sure to only use codes from trusted sources, as some may contain illegal or malware-infected apps. More on that next.

You can also browse categories like Movies & TV, Music and Games to explore featured apps.

Staying Safe with FileLinked Codes in 2022

When entering and using FileLinked codes, keep these safety tips in mind:

• Vet any code before using – Search online to make sure a code is credible and recommended by others. Avoid random codes.

• Use codes from official developers – Many app creators have their own FileLinked stores for early access. These are generally safe.

• Don‘t install anything illegally streaming copyrighted content – Apps enabling free movies and live sports likely violate content rights.

• Install a good antivirus – Use a malware scanner like AVG Antivirus [from FileLinked code 68376209] to check apps.

• Browse safely – Don‘t click questionable ads or links within FileLinked menus and code installers.

In general, you can avoid headaches by only using a few trusted FileLinked codes from reliable sources. I‘ll share some of my personal favorites next.
