Data transfer with expiring links

agnes · 7 Jun 2022 at 12:54

Not sure where to ask this, but I'm trying to find a paid service where you have a hosted drive which you can provide a one time use link that say is valid for 24 hours upon opening. Once it's been opened, the sender gets a notification of it being opened. Once the sender opens that drive, they have again, 24 hours for example to pull the data out of the drive and then the drive link is dead and no one has access.

Does anyone know of a solution for this?

Dropbox does sharing with expiration date/times here

I am not sure of that level of detailed notification, but wetransfer is one such service I use at work.

So does Onedrive but I don't think it has the option for notifications.

Wetransfer does notifications for downloads but not whether a file has been opened. Not sure how that would work without triggering the computer’s antivirus.

WeTransfer seems to fit the bill as much as can be expected

Is this for just something like a small file (pdf/doc) e.t.c? BitWarden/VaultWarden has a send feature where you can set all sorts.

Pretty sure SharePoint/OneDrive notified the sender of the shared file when it gets opened.

WeTransfer has notifications on downloads and time limits. We've been using it for a while, very happy with it.
