Question 5

Are my files secured?

Accepted Answer

Yes, everything is encrypted on device before submitting them.

Question 6

What happens when a share expires?

Accepted Answer

The files are deleted and the link stops working. A record of the share will stay stored for 30 days, after which everything will be deleted forever.

Question 7

Which storage can I connect?

Accepted Answer

We support the following cloud drives: iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox. And also the following protocols: AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, WebDAV and FTP.

Question 8

Do I need Shareboxed+ to share at all?

Accepted Answer

No. Direct shares and links out of storage you own both work without one! Though some networks need our web relay to get a direct share connected, and that is part of Shareboxed+.

Question 9

What happens to my shares when my plan ends?

Accepted Answer

Nothing is closed. Your allowance goes back to 7 live links, and the ones you have keep working until they expire. You are just over the line until then. Want to share again before that? Every link lasts seven days, so you can wait one out or close one yourself.

Question 10

I have a feature request!

Accepted Answer

Nice! You can send an email to support@shareboxed.app and we will be in touch!
