File sharing with access controls you own
Upload your files, configure who can access them and for how long, then send one link. No cloud folders, no drive permissions, no ongoing management.
Recipients open it directly in their browser — no account, no app, no friction.
Your files stay protected. Set an expiry, add a passphrase, and access closes automatically when your conditions are met.
What's included
Up to 3 files per link
Bundle documents, images, spreadsheets, archives, and more — all accessible from one URL.
Attach a note
Write a rich text message alongside your files so recipients have full context on one page.
Passphrase lock
Gate access with a passphrase — only people who have it can open the link.
Expiry dates
Links deactivate automatically after hours, days, or months — nothing stays accessible indefinitely.
View limits
Cap how many times a link can be opened — ideal for one-time credential or contract handoffs.
Download controls
Choose whether recipients can save files locally or view them on the page only.
No cloud storage needed
No folders, no sync clients, no cleanup. Upload, send, and let the link expire on schedule.
No recipient account
Anyone with the link opens it in their browser — no sign-up, no app download required.
Frequently asked questions
Is ShareText free to use?
Yes. Creating and sending a file link costs nothing — no account required.
Do recipients need an account?
No. Anyone with the link opens it directly in their browser. No sign-up, no app.
What file types are supported?
Most common formats work — documents, images, spreadsheets, archives, audio, and video. Executable files are blocked.
Can I lock a link with a password?
Yes. Add a passphrase when creating the link and recipients must enter it before they can view or download anything.
Do links expire?
Yes, if you want them to. Choose 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, or never. The link deactivates automatically.
Can I block recipients from downloading the files?
Yes. Disable the allow download option and files are visible on the page but cannot be saved locally.
Can I attach a message to my files?
Yes. Signed-in users can add a rich text note alongside their files. Recipients see both on the same page.
Is ShareText a cloud storage service?
No. It handles one-off handoffs, not long-term storage. No folders, no sync — links expire on your schedule.
