Share files through temporary links that expire automatically. Ideal when you need a secure drop that should not linger in cloud storage.
Create a room, share the URL, upload, then let expiry clean up. No long-term file hosting.
End-to-end encryption is on for new sessions so credentials, legal docs, and other sensitive payloads stay as ciphertext on the server.
Temporary File Sharing exists to set a session that deletes files when it expires instead of leaving a standing download. It is not a second copy of the tool homepage. The homepage introduces the whole product. This page stays on one job so a search for that job lands on instructions you can follow without hunting through other tabs. Read the result on this page against the input you actually used. A screenshot without the input is not evidence. If the result surprises you, change one thing and run it again before you change your VPN, browser, or server config.
Work through Temporary File Sharing in order. 1. Set the lifetime before you upload. 2. Tell the recipient the deadline. 3. Upload. 4. Do not promise the link will work next week. Write down the input and the output together. When you ask someone for help, send both. Repeat the same input once. A stable tool returns the same answer. If it does not, the input changed or the page is talking to a different network path than you think.
Temporary means the timer, not a recall button for copies they already downloaded. A long timer is almost a permanent link. Email attachments are a different system and are not deleted by this timer. Treat the output as a measurement, then decide. RookVPN does not log the contents of a client-side tool, and a measurement is not a promise that every other app on the device behaves the same way. Compare a second path when the decision matters: a terminal command, another browser, or the matching guide linked below.
Example: the session is one day. You upload at 9:00 and they download at 15:00. The next morning the link is dead. If they write back the next week, you create a new session. You do not lengthen the old one into a month-long public URL.
After you finish Temporary File Sharing, open self-destructing file share if you want the deletion behavior spelled out if the next question is different from the one this page answers. Stay here if you are still on the same job. Extra pages help only when they answer a new question, such as a different algorithm, a different leak channel, or a different file type. The documentation link on this page is the long form of the same workflow, including the checks that do not fit in the tool UI.
No account needed for basic sessions. Sign in for longer session TTL and larger storage limits.
No. Upload again in a new session if they still need the file.
No. Only the server copy.
The shortest one that still covers the handoff you can actually make.
