## What is OneTimeShare?

You can select a photo stored on your iPhone and upload it to the cloud. A QR code will appear to download the image. The URL is valid for one day and the number of downloads is limited to one.

The photos are encrypted using AES-GCM. The key is written in the fragment part of the URL and decrypted locally (E2E encryption).

As long as the URL is valid, anyone who knows the link can download the photo. Please be careful when sharing.

If you select this app as a destination with a single photo selected in “Share” with the Photos app, you can launch this app from the Photos app.

If you select this app as a destination in “Share” with Safari or App Store, a QR code for the URL of a web page will be displayed in the Share Sheet (this is a feature unrelated to photos.) It will be similar to the QR code generation in Chrome's “Share” options.
