Temporary File Sharing Guide
Temporary file sharing gives people access to files for a defined time instead of creating a permanent folder or long-lived public link.
Temporary File Sharing Guide
Learn how temporary file sharing works, when to use it, and how room expiry reduces long-term file exposure.
What temporary sharing means
Temporary sharing makes files available for a limited window. After that window, the room and stored content are removed.
Best use cases
Use it for support screenshots, class materials, event media, quick client delivery, design review packets, and short project handoffs.
How LendAFile handles it
LendAFile rooms combine a room code, file uploads, saved text, optional special question protection, and automatic expiry.
Is temporary file sharing permanent storage?
No. Keep your own copy of important files before the room expires.
Can temporary sharing reduce exposure?
Yes, expiry can reduce long-term exposure, but users should still share only appropriate content.
