Links and access

Burn after first open

Create a one-winner share that becomes unreachable after its first successful claim.

One successful claimant

A burn share atomically removes public reachability when the first access lease wins. The winner receives a short window to read the file while cleanup is scheduled.

Constraints

  • Burn files cannot be members of a multi-file transfer.
  • The opening limit is fixed to one.
  • A PIN can still be used.
  • A reusable public storage URL is never issued.

Use with care

Note: Link-preview bots, security scanners, or the wrong recipient can consume a poorly protected one-time link. Add a PIN for sensitive deliveries.
