⏳ Auto-expiring links🔒 Less long-term exposure✅ Recipient needs no account🧼 Cleaner file sharing

Stops working automatically

Once expired, the link becomes inaccessible. No manual follow-up needed.

Safer sharing by default

Expiring links reduce the impact of forwarding or “old link leaks”.

Great for handoffs

Perfect for client deliveries, temporary access, and short-term downloads.

What are expiring download links?

Expiring download links are URLs that provide access to a file for a limited time window. After the expiration date, the link becomes unusable. This approach reduces long-term exposure and makes file sharing safer.

Why people choose expiring links

Privacy and reduced exposure

A link that lives forever is a liability. Expiration keeps access limited to when it’s actually needed.

  • Temporary sharing of documents
  • Short-term access for clients
  • Reducing risk if a link gets forwarded

Cleaner client deliveries

You don’t have to remember to disable old links. FilePay handles expiration automatically.

  • Design handoffs
  • Video exports
  • Project archives
