Good to know

  • Send the password in another way than the link, for example in a call.
  • Remove hidden details is on at first for photos and PDFs. The shared copy then leaves out the camera, the dates, the place and the author.
  • Stop sharing ends the link at once. Deleting the file does not.
  • On the free plan a link lasts up to 24 hours and allows up to 10 downloads. Paid plans allow 30 days and 100 downloads.
