Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when files expire?
When the expiry time is reached, files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers. The download link becomes inactive and cannot be accessed anymore. This process is automatic—no manual action needed.
Can I extend the expiry time after uploading?
Currently, expiry times are set during upload and cannot be extended. This is by design to ensure predictable deletion and maintain privacy guarantees. If you need longer access, simply re-upload with a new expiry time.
What expiry options are available?
We offer granular control: 10-45 minutes for quick shares, 1-24 hours (including fractional like 1.5 hours) for same-day access, and 1-28 days for longer projects. Choose the option that best fits your sharing needs.
Does auto-expiry work with download limits?
Yes! Files are deleted when EITHER the expiry time is reached OR the download limit is hit—whichever comes first. This dual protection ensures files are removed as soon as they're no longer needed.
Can I combine auto-expiry with password protection?
Absolutely! Combine auto-expiry with password protection, email verification, and download limits for maximum security. This multi-layer approach gives you complete control over who accesses files and for how long.
Is auto-expiry available for free users?
Yes! Auto-expiry is available to all users, including anonymous uploads. No account required. Simply upload your files, set your expiry time, and share. It's completely free for files up to 4GB.
How do I know when files will expire?
After uploading, you'll see the exact expiry date and time. Recipients can also see when files will expire on the download page. Our share analytics dashboard shows time remaining and tracks all activity before deletion.
Are deleted files recoverable?
No. Once files are auto-deleted, they are permanently removed from our servers and cannot be recovered. This ensures maximum privacy and security. Make sure recipients download files before expiry if they need them.
