File.io
file.io
Share files with a link that automatically deletes itself after it is downloaded once, keeping shared files off the internet for good.
Why it is useful
Files self-destruct after one download by default, so nothing lingers on a server indefinitely the way it can with typical cloud storage links — useful for sharing something sensitive exactly once.
