Put a password on your shared files. Files live in a private folder; anyone who opens the link must enter the password before they can view or download anything.
Create a password-protected folderSelect one or more files — photos, documents, videos, anything up to 1GB each. Add a folder password before uploading.
Send the folder link separately from the password, so only the people you choose can unlock the files.
The folder still self-destructs after 1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, or one-time download per file.
The file list and links stay hidden until the visitor enters the correct password.
Even a direct file link can't be opened without the folder password — no bypass.
1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, or one-time download. Files are deleted when they expire.
No sign-up for you or your recipients, up to 1GB per file.
File links here are already private by design: unguessable, encrypted, and hidden from search engines. A password adds a second gate on top — if the link leaks to a group chat or a semi-public channel, the folder stays closed to everyone who doesn't also have the password.
It's honest to note the limits too: a password can't stop a recipient from screenshotting a photo they were allowed to open. The protection is about keeping the folder closed to strangers, not about ciphering the content from the people you shared it with.
You set the folder password once, before uploading. We store only a one-way salted hash (PBKDF2), so the password can't be recovered or revealed by anyone, including us. Recipients enter it in their browser, and direct file links stay blocked until the folder is unlocked.

You set a folder password before uploading. Recipients see a password prompt before the file list — and direct file links stay locked until the password is entered.
Yes. Upload the photos together (up to 50 files) with a folder password and you get one album link: recipients enter the password once, then browse and save the photos in original quality. The album deletes itself when the link expires.
Yes. A single file gets a folder too, so it can be password-protected just like a multi-file folder.
No. Only a salted, one-way hash (PBKDF2) is stored; we cannot recover or reveal the password itself.
No. Every file link inside a protected folder checks the unlock cookie, so a leaked short link alone is not enough.
No. They just enter the password in their browser — no app, no account.
Yes — completely free, no ads, up to 1GB per file, no sign-up.
