About Text & code sharing

Share an expiring text note or code snippet with explicit public or private access.

When to use it

Share an expiring text note or code snippet with explicit public or private access.

Text & code sharing example
Use the shared file upload API or SDK upload method.
Download the exact original bytes with the returned access credential.
Delete or renew through the resource lifecycle API.

How to use it

  1. Paste text or code and choose a file name.
  2. Choose access and create the share.
  3. Send the link and private access token separately.

Limits & privacy

The text editor accepts up to 256 KiB; binary uploads accept up to 10 MiB. Resources start with one hour and use the same file storage, download allowances, sharing controls, and lifecycle as temporary file transfer. Private links contain only the ID; send the access token separately. Text is previewed without execution.

Use this tool from the API reference or connect through the SDK, CLI, SSH, or MCP. Hosted calls share your plan allowances.
