Temporary file sharing
Share a file that won't stick around. Set an expiry and a download limit — the encrypted file deletes itself and leaves nothing behind.
Encrypted in your browser, then uploaded. Share a link they open anytime.

Drops that disappear
Set an expiry
Choose how long a link lives — from 1 hour to 7 days. After that, the file is gone, automatically.
Limit the downloads
Cap a drop at 1, 5, or 10 downloads. Once the limit is reached, the file deletes itself.
Self-destructing & revocable
Every drop deletes on expiry, on limit, or the moment you revoke it — and it's encrypted the whole time.
How it works
Drop a file & set a timer
Pick an expiry and a download limit when you upload.
Share the temporary link
Send it — the file is encrypted in your browser first.
It self-destructs
On expiry, on download limit, or on revoke, the file and its metadata are deleted.
Temporary file sharing FAQ
How do I send a file that automatically expires?
When you upload to Marsdrop, you set an expiry (1 hour to 7 days) and a download limit. Once the file expires, hits its limit, or you revoke it, the encrypted file is automatically deleted — temporary file sharing with nothing left behind.
What is self-destructing file sharing?
Self-destructing file sharing means the shared file deletes itself after a set time or number of downloads, instead of staying online forever. Marsdrop deletes both the encrypted blob and its metadata when a drop expires.
Can I limit how many times a file is downloaded?
Yes. You can cap a drop at 1, 5, or 10 downloads (or unlimited). When the limit is reached, the file is deleted automatically.
Is the file really deleted when it expires?
Yes. A cleanup process removes the encrypted blob from storage and its metadata row once a drop expires, is revoked, or hits its download limit — it isn't archived or kept.
