Require a separate access token for temporary file downloads.

Files start with a one-hour lifetime. Private links require an access token; public links work for anyone. Preview the selected file before uploading. Downloads keep the original file.

About Private file sharing
Share a file between machines through a short-lived public or private download link. No account or storage setup is required.
When to use it
Require a separate credential when a temporary file link might be forwarded.
Link: /share/?id=FILE_ID
Token: sent separately
Script access: X-Access-Token header
Never put a token in the URL.How to use it
- Choose a file up to 10 MiB.
- Upload it and copy the download link.
- Share the link and, for private files, send the access token separately.
Limits & privacy
Files start with a one-hour lifetime and a chosen download limit. The final allowed download removes stored contents; metadata remains until expiry or deletion. Choose public or private sharing. Private downloads require a sharing token or workspace access. The management token controls sharing and deletion. Files are not scanned for malware and always download as attachments. Keep confidential files elsewhere.
