Do I need an account to send a file?

No. You can drop a file on the home page and get a private link straight away, up to 100 MB, alive for a day or a week. An account exists for when you want bigger transfers and a record of what you sent.

Is this really end-to-end encrypted?

Yes, in the literal sense and by default. Your browser generates a key and every chunk is sealed on your device before upload. The servers only hold sealed bytes and the key never reaches them. The recipient supplies the same key and their browser unlocks the files locally, so both ends hold the key and nothing in the middle does.

What happens when a link expires?

The link stops resolving and the stored bytes are released. Anonymous links live for 1 or 7 days, free accounts can stretch to 30 days, and Pro can set a link to never expire when the file needs a permanent home.

Can I take a link down early?

Yes. Anything sent from an account shows up on your dashboard, where a single click revokes the link and deletes the files ahead of schedule.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, it is built for it. The uploader accepts files from the iOS and Android share sheets and the whole interface is designed for one thumb, so sending from a phone works the same as from a laptop.
