Protect a share: password, expiry & sensitive flag

1 min read Updated Jun 19, 2026

Lock a shared file with a password, set an expiry date, or warn about sensitive content.

Add protection to a share

In the share panel you can layer three independent protections:

Password

Type a password (4+ characters) and save. Visitors must enter it before they can view or download. Use Remove to clear it later.

Expiry

Set an Expires date/time; after it passes, the link shows a friendly "no longer available" page instead of the file.

Sensitive / 18+

Toggle Mark as sensitive / 18+ to show a content-warning interstitial that visitors must acknowledge before the file is revealed.

These stack — e.g. a password-protected, sensitive link that expires next week.
