Sharing a file with a link

What it is

A link that opens a single file from your Archive, for anyone you send it to, even people who don't use ERERE.

Why it exists

Sharing a memory or a document shouldn't mean handing it over to whoever carries it. The link carries the key to that file, and that file only.

How it works for you

In the Archive press “Share” next to the file: the link is ready and copied. Whoever opens it sees the file name and downloads it; the file is decrypted in their browser. In the “Active links” list you see how long each link is valid and how many times it has been opened, and you can revoke it whenever you like.

What you give

Nothing more. The server stores only which file, until when and how many times: the key stays in the link.

What you get

A simple way to send even large files that stays private.

What you choose

How long the link lasts (1 to 30 days, 7 by default), how many times it can be opened, when to revoke it.

Honest limits

Anyone with the full link can open the file: send it only to the people you want. If you delete the file or move it to the bin, the link stops working; if you restore it, it works again until it expires.

Where it stands

In the system and verified by automated tests on the server and in the browser.
