Stop 02 · Sharing with an expiry date

Share a file the way you would hand over a ticket

Share files as ticket-style links with a set validity.

To revoke a link

A good ticket is valid for a certain time, for a certain trip, and then it is done. Ticket Links bring that idea to sharing. Pick a file or folder, choose how long the link stays valid, and send it. When the time is up, the link stops working without you lifting a finger.

On board

What you get at this stop

1

Validity you control

Set a link to last fifteen minutes, a weekend, or three months. When it expires, it expires.

2

Optional passcode

Add a passcode for sensitive files and share it through a different channel than the link itself.

3

Use limits

Cap how many times a link can be opened or downloaded, from a single use up to a few hundred.

4

Recipients need no account

Anyone with the link and, if you set one, the passcode can view or download. No sign-up required.

5

A clear visit log

See when a link was opened and when files were downloaded, so you know your delivery arrived.

6

Instant revoke

Sent it to the wrong person? Cancel the ticket and the link stops working immediately.

Questions about Ticket Links

What happens to a link after it expires?

Visitors see a friendly message that the ticket is no longer valid. The file itself stays safely in your storage, untouched.

Can I extend a ticket that is about to expire?

Yes. Open the link in your list and push the validity date forward, as long as it has not been revoked.

Can people edit the files I share?

Ticket Links are for viewing and downloading. Collaboration happens in Route Folders, where you can invite people as editors.
