It creates six-character short links without requiring an account, and checks shortened URLs with Google Safe Browsing while showing a preview of the destination before visitors proceed. Links are permanent by default, while uploaded files normally expire and are deleted after three days; users can choose other retention periods, protect files with passwords, limit views, or create one-time links. Individual uploads can be up to 700 MB, and each share includes a deletion credential for self-service removal.

Its stated focus is privacy and simplicity: no registration, paid membership, or advertising tracking, with automatic cleanup when files expire or reach their viewing limits
