Fits delivery windows and review cycles
If the file only needs to be available for a short approval round or handoff period, an expiring URL keeps the access window aligned with that timeline.
Time-limited download URLs
Create expiring download links for short-lived file access.

Reduces long-term exposure of old files
Time-limited download URLs help avoid the accumulation of stale but still-accessible files from older projects or support requests.
Easy for the recipient to use
The recipient still gets a direct link, but that link automatically stops working when the intended access window ends.
Questions people ask before uploading
These are the questions users usually ask when they want a download URL that expires automatically.
Can I create a download link that expires automatically?
Yes. Set the expiry time before you upload and share the file.
What is the difference between an expiring download link and a permanent file URL?
An expiring link stops working after the chosen time window, which is better for short-term access.
Who should use time-limited file URLs?
They are useful for client deliveries, review assets, support attachments, internal files, and any workflow where long-term access is unnecessary.
Can I combine an expiring download link with password protection?
Yes. SendUp lets you use both controls together.
