How to use File Share

Upload a file, choose temporary access settings, then review the generated link before sending it to a recipient.

1
Choose the file to share
Select or drag in the file you want to send. Confirm the file name and size before upload, especially when similar drafts, exports, or zipped folders sit in the same directory.
2
Set the link options
Pick the expiry time and decide whether the link should use password protection, auto-destruct after first download, or encryption before upload for the recipient.
3
Copy the temporary link
Wait for upload completion, then copy the share link or QR code. Send it only after checking the selected file, access settings, and intended recipient.

File upload review

The selected file name and size stay visible so you can confirm you are creating a link for the correct document, archive, image, video, or export.

Temporary link review

The share URL, upload state, file details, and copy button stay together so the final recipient path is easy to verify.

Expiry and access choices

Choose a one hour, six hour, or twelve hour expiry, then add password protection, auto-destruct, or encryption when the file needs tighter access control.

Upload progress controls

Progress feedback and remove controls stay near each uploaded file, making it easier to stop, retry, or replace the wrong item.

Browser and QR access

Copy the link for messages and generate a QR code when the recipient needs to open the file from another device.

Short-term delivery output

Use the generated link for temporary delivery, not as your only copy, permanent archive, or source of record.

File Share privacy and processing

Use this File Share section to understand server-assisted upload, temporary storage, account behavior, expiry choices, and what to check before sending the link.

Server-assisted temporary sharing

File Share uploads the selected file with your expiry, password, auto-destruct, and encryption choices so the page can return a temporary share link for review.

Storage Temporary

File Share is designed for temporary delivery, not permanent storage. Keep your original file until the recipient has downloaded the shared copy.

File Share account access

File Share can create a temporary link without sign-in on this page. Logging in raises the per-file size limit shown in the upload area.

Before You Use File Share

Review these notes before uploading a file and sending a temporary download link to someone else.

Privacy

Upload only the file you intend to share. Similar file names, old drafts, and exported copies are easy to mix up before link creation.

If the file belongs to a client, school, workplace, or regulated project, confirm temporary upload and external sharing are allowed first.

Accuracy

Check the generated link against the selected file name, file size, expiry time, password setting, auto-destruct setting, and intended recipient.

If you create several links in one session, label your message clearly so the recipient knows which file each link opens.

Compatibility

Unsupported file types, oversized files, unstable networks, or interrupted browser sessions can stop the temporary link from being created.

If upload fails, retry with a smaller file, compress the file first, or use a steadier connection before sharing another copy.

Output

Open the link in a separate tab or scan the QR code if you need to confirm what the recipient will see before sending it.

Keep the original file available until the recipient has downloaded it or you no longer need the temporary file link.

Limits

File Share accepts files within the workspace upload limit and creates temporary download links. Guests can upload up to 100 MB per file, while signed-in users can use the larger account limit shown in the tool.

File Share uploads and link creation depend on the active plan limits, selected expiry, and temporary storage availability.

Questions about File Share

When should I use File Share?

Use File Share when you need a short-lived download link for a document, archive, image, video, or export and do not want to send a large email attachment or create a permanent cloud folder.

What should I check before sending the link?

Check the file name, size, expiry time, password setting, auto-destruct setting, QR code, intended recipient, and whether the file should be externally accessible.

Does File Share require an account?

No. The standard page can create temporary links without sign-in, but the selected file is still uploaded for temporary sharing. Signing in raises the per-file size limit shown in the tool.

Can I use File Share for long-term storage?

No. It is designed for temporary file delivery. Keep your own copy and use permanent storage when retention, version history, ownership, or audit trails matter.
