Create a 1-hour file link or QR code

Temporary File Transfer

Upload one allowed file, optionally set a custom password, then choose how to share: copy a private link, generate a QR code, or create both. Files expire after 1 hour and are not listed publicly.

📋 How to use

  • Click Create link, Create QR, or Link + QR.
  • Recipients open the link or scan the QR — download starts immediately.

🔒 Abuse-safe by design

No public directory, no permanent storage, no inline preview, rate limits, magic-number validation, hash blocklist, report flow, and strict file type boundary.

💡 Best use cases

Move a document between devices, send a short handoff to a teammate, share a video clip, or show a QR code for quick pickup.

⚠️ Not for

Illegal, harmful, infringing, highly sensitive, executable, archive, script, app, or long-term hosted material. Blocked file types are rejected before storage.
