Server upload
Share files instantly
Anonymous, temporary file sharing. No account needed. Get a one-time download link or QR code, set an expiry, and optionally password-protect it. Files delete automatically.
Share-The-Doc's server upload mode is a free WeTransfer alternative: upload a file once and get back a private link or QR code, no account required. It works even when the other person is offline when you send it.
- Set a one-time download, a longer expiry window, or a password.
- Files are deleted automatically once they expire or are downloaded.
- Up to 100 MB per file, 500 MB total per share.
- Sign in free with Google for links with unlimited downloads instead of one.
How it works
1. Choose a file to upload
Drag and drop a file, or click to browse. Up to 100MB per file.
2. Set an expiry and, if you want, a password
Pick how long the link should stay valid, and choose whether it can be downloaded once or repeatedly until it expires.
3. Get a link and QR code
The file uploads and you get a one-time download link and QR code to share however you like.
4. The file deletes automatically
Once the expiry passes, or after the one-time download if you chose that, the file is deleted from the server.
Frequently asked questions
