SendUp
Expiring file delivery

Send files that expire after the access window ends.

Not every shared file should stay available forever. SendUp lets you create an expiring download link for files that only need to be available during a review, support case, approval, or client handoff.

  • Choose an expiry window in minutes or hours, up to 24 hours.
  • Useful for draft documents, support files, screenshots, videos, ZIP archives, and client deliverables.
  • Combine expiry with optional password protection for tighter short-term access.

Secure and controlled file sharing

Password-protected, expiring, and low-friction delivery flows for controlled access.

What this page is best for

Each landing page is written for a distinct search intent and use case.

01

Good for deadline-based delivery

Expiring links fit review deadlines, same-day handoffs, support investigations, approvals, and files that only need temporary access.

02

Avoid forgotten long-lived links

When the job is temporary, an expiring URL is cleaner than leaving a public link around after the recipient no longer needs the file.

03

A simple access-control layer

Expiry is not a full permission system, but it is useful for short-term sharing where the link should stop working automatically.
