Account-free discovery

Discover devices near you

Nearby helps you find LendAFile devices close to you, so you can share files, request files, or invite someone to a Room without copying links or scanning codes.

Your browser location and its reported accuracy are held temporarily while Nearby is on. They are used only for proximity discovery, are never shown to other users, and become unavailable within three minutes after presence updates stop. Expired records are periodically deleted. Location is requested only when you choose to enable it. No account is required.

LendAFile guide

Share files online quickly with one temporary link.

Use Quick Share for free online file sharing without signup. Add files, text, or links, choose an expiry time, and send one temporary URL or QR code.

Direct answer

How can I share files online quickly?

Open Quick Share, add files or other enabled content, choose how many minutes the link should remain active, and send the resulting URL or QR code. Recipients do not need a LendAFile account, and file-only shares begin downloading when opened.

Service facts

Best for

Common use cases

Fast client handoffs

Put deliverables and a short note behind one temporary Quick Share link so a client can open everything in one place.

Quick team transfers

Move working files between teammates without creating a permanent folder or requiring account registration.

Urgent support files

Collect screenshots, logs, and reproduction notes together while a support request is active.

Short classroom exchanges

Give a class or project group one code for files and notes that only need to remain available briefly.

Details

What makes Quick Share fast?

The main workflow has three steps: add content, set the duration, and send the generated link or QR code. There is no invitation email or recipient account setup.

Details

Share files, text, and links together

A Quick Share can combine enabled files, plain text, and web links behind one temporary URL, so instructions and download context do not need to be split across messages.

Details

File-only links start the download

When a recipient opens a Quick Share containing files only, LendAFile starts the file or ZIP download automatically and keeps a visible download action available.

Details

Fast does not mean permanent

Quick Share is designed for short online handoffs rather than permanent cloud storage. The link and server-held content stop being available after the selected time ends.

What is quick online file sharing?

It is a short path from selecting content to giving another person temporary browser access. Quick Share uses one expiring URL and QR code.

Do recipients need an account?

Can I share text or a web link with the files?

Yes. Quick Share supports enabled files, plain text, web links, or a combination through the same temporary URL.

Can I share files online free?

Yes. The first 10 minutes of a Quick Share are included, subject to configured file and storage limits.

Does a Quick Share expire?
