Share Links

Share any file. Control every detail.

Generate a link in one click. Add passwords, set expiry dates, limit downloads, restrict by email domain or IP range. Recipients download without creating an account.

Link Types

5 ways to share, one simple interface

Public Share Links

Anyone with the link can access the file. No login required, no restrictions. Best for content you want to distribute widely, like press kits, open-source releases, or marketing assets.

Private Share Links

Only people you explicitly invite can access the file. Recipients must verify their email before downloading. Every access is logged with user identity and timestamp.

Password-Protected Links

Add a password to any share link. Recipients must enter the correct password before they can view or download the file. Failed password attempts are logged.

Expiring Links

Set links to expire after a specific time: 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a custom date. After expiry, the link shows an "expired" page and cannot be used again.

Download Limits

Limit how many times a file can be downloaded through a share link. After the limit is reached, the link is automatically disabled. Set limits from 1 to unlimited.

Real-world sharing use cases

Sending final deliverables to a client

Password-protected + 7-day expiry + 3 download limit

A designer generates a share link for the approved brand assets. She sets a password, 7-day expiry, and limits downloads to 3. The client downloads the files, and after 3 downloads or 7 days (whichever comes first), the link stops working automatically.

Sharing lecture recordings with students

Private link restricted to @university.edu emails

A professor shares a folder of lecture recordings via a private link. Only people with a @university.edu email can access it. Students verify their email once, then can download any time during the semester. All access is logged for the professor to review.

Open source release distribution

Public link, no restrictions, unlimited downloads

A team publishes a new SDK release as a public share link. Anyone can download it without logging in. The link never expires and has no download limit. The team tracks download counts in the audit log to measure adoption.
