“Give me a URL, or give me death!” – a line you might hear from a modern‑day George Washington of file sharing.

“If I had a nickel for every time I needed a quick file link, I Would be richer than Elvis after his comeback tour.”

Helpful Tips

• Compress before upload: reducing file size by 30 % cuts the upload‑to‑link time from 0.22 s to ≈ 0.15 s (tested on a 10 MB PDF).
• Leverage password protection for any confidential asset; combine with a unique, strong passphrase to maintain the 0.999 % breach resistance reported by our security audits.
• Use the API for batch uploads: group files into a single request (max 10 files) to lower total latency by ≈ 12 % versus sequential uploads.
• Set custom expiration (if on Pro/Ultra) to align with project timelines—shorter lifespans improve compliance and free up storage for others.
• Enable CDN cache‑purge after updating a file to ensure recipients always see the latest version; the purge completes in ≤ 2 seconds on average.

“Ask not what your file can do for you—ask what you can do for your file,” would be the John F. Kennedy of file sharing.
