Temporary file link

Secure file share

Send files privately without email. Upload a document, zip archive, or video and get a free temporary file link that expires in 24 hours or 7 days. Recipients download once they have the URL. No account required.

Share large files securely with an expiring link

Email attachments bounce, and many chat apps compress or refuse larger files. This secure file share stores your upload with a random name and writes metadata only to the file_shares table. The public page shows the original filename, size, and expiry. Downloads increment a counter so you can see the link was used, then the cleanup script deletes the row and the file when time is up.

Think of it as free encrypted at rest file transfer for everyday work: a PDF for a client, a zip of assets, a spreadsheet you do not want sitting in an inbox thread. It is not a permanent drive. If the recipient needs the file later, they should save their own copy before the link expires.

What you can upload

Common documents, images, and archives are allowed. Executable and server-script types are blocked so this host cannot be used to deploy malware. For several files under one URL, use Bulk File Share instead of uploading a zip here, unless a zip is actually what you want to send.

Secure file share FAQ

Is this a free way to send files privately without email?
Yes. Create a temporary file link and send that URL. The recipient does not need ShareSafeAI account access.
Are files encrypted?
Files live on the server with unguessable names. Password shares are encrypted as strings; file contents are protected by access control and expiry, not by a user-supplied passphrase.
When is the file deleted?
After the 24 hour or 7 day window. The cleanup cron removes expired file_shares rows and the matching disk files.
Can I share more than one file?
Use the Bulk File Share tool. This page is intentionally limited to a single upload so its logic stays isolated.
