About

FastShared

Read full description

Share anything. Get a link. Watch it vanish. FastShared is a native Apple utility that turns "share a file" into "get a temporary link on my clipboard" in one gesture. Every link is temporary by design: default 24 hours, custom up to 30 days. When the window closes, the underlying file is deleted automatically. WHAT IT DOES - Share any file from any app through the iOS share sheet. - Drag a file onto the Mac app, or paste anything with Command-V. - Pick how long the link lives: 60 seconds, 1 hour, 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month, or custom from 5 minutes to 30 days. - The short link lands on your clipboard. Paste it anywhere. - Watch upload progress in a Live Activity and Dynamic Island on supported iPhones. - Browse recent links with a live countdown. Revoke any link instantly. BUILT FOR APPLE - iOS 17 and later, iPadOS 17 and later, macOS 14 and later. - Native Share Extension on iPhone and iPad. - Drag-and-drop, file import, and Paste to Upload on Mac. - Background uploads with URLSession. - Universal Clipboard friendly: copy on iPhone, paste on Mac seconds later. - Apple-native UI. No account wall for basic sharing. YOUR FILES, YOUR RULES - Ephemeral by design. Every link has an expiry. Expired links return 410 Gone and the file is deleted. - No required accounts. There is no sign-up, email, or password for Free. - No tracking. No analytics SDKs, no advertising IDs, no third-party trackers. - Private storage. Files live in a private Cloudflare R2 bucket. Downloads are served only after the link is validated. - Bearer links with high-entropy tokens. The link is the credential. Revoke any time. - noindex, no-referrer, no-store on every resolve so tokens stay out of search engines, referrer chains, and caches. LAUNCH ACCESS - Unlimited uploads per day. - Files up to 2 GB. - Link retention up to 30 days. FASTSHARED PRO - iCloud history sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. - Family Sharing on Lifetime. - Priority support. - Monthly, annual, or lifetime purchase. NOT INCLUDED - ON PURPOSE - No permanent hosting. Every file has a deletion deadline. - No folders, tags, public profiles, comments, or reactions. - No non-Apple desktop or mobile apps. FastShared is Apple-native. The recipient never signs in. They open the link in any browser or messaging preview, and the file downloads through FastShared after the link state is checked. When the window ends, the link stops working for everyone at once. Support - https://fastsha.red/support Privacy - https://fastsha.red/privacy Terms - https://fastsha.red/terms

Big files should not be a problem. ChuteDrop turns photos, videos and documents into a single link you can send to anyone. Pick what you want to send, upload it once, then share the link over WhatsApp, Messages, email โ€” or just copy it. Whoever you send it to downloads straight from their browser. No account, no app, nothing for them to install. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT โ€ข Originals, not copies. Photos and videos upload at full quality, with no re-encoding on the way out. โ€ข Uploads that survive real life. Lose signal, switch apps, or come back tomorrow โ€” a transfer resumes from the part it reached instead of starting over. โ€ข Links on your terms. Set files to auto-expire after 1 to 90 days, or keep links alive for as long as you need them on Studio plans. โ€ข A library that remembers. Every link you have made, what went into it, and how many times it has been downloaded. โ€ข Delete means deleted. Removing a transfer kills the link and the files right away. โ€ข Made for iPhone and iPad. FREE TO START Ten transfers or 3 GB every 30 days, up to 3 GB each, with links that last three days. No card required. PLANS โ€ข Lite โ€” 25 GB storage, 5 GB per transfer, 7-day links โ€ข Pro โ€” 300 GB storage, 300 GB per transfer, links up to 30 days โ€ข Studio โ€” 2 TB storage, 1 TB per transfer, non-expiring links โ€ข Studio Plus โ€” 8 TB storage, 4 TB per transfer, non-expiring links Every plan bills monthly or yearly, and choosing yearly saves at least 24%. Need the room only once? A one-time 100 GB top-up adds space for 30 days without changing your plan. Sign in with Apple, or with nothing but your email address. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS ChuteDrop subscriptions are auto-renewable. Lite, Pro, Studio and Studio Plus are each offered as a monthly or a yearly subscription, and the price is shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Terms of Use: https://chutedrop.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://chutedrop.com/privacy
