- What is FILESHARE?
FILESHARE is a service which allows you to upload arbitrary files to
our webserver. Once you've uploaded your file(s), the server will
give you a URL which you can use to access the files. The URL can
be sent via email, messenger services, etc. to other people with
whom you collaborate.
How long will uploads exist on the FILESHARE server?
Currently FILESHARE will delete any uploads that are older than 90 days
- What's my quota?
All users enjoy a 1000MB quota. This is subject to revision.
- What does the optional encryption password do?
Ordinarily files uploaded to FILESHARE are stored "as-is." That means if you upload
a text file, it will exist as a text file on the FILESHARE server and it is possible,
though unlikely, that someone could gain unauthorized access to FILESHARE and read
that file.
For this reason FILESHARE allows you to enter an (optional) encryption password prior to file upload.
The password you enter is used encrypt your file on the FILESHARE server. This password must also
be used when the file is downloaded in order to properly de-crypt the password. Note that
the FILESHARE server never stores your password. Your password is only used
to encrypt and then to decrypt the data. If you forget your password or you misstype it during
file upload then there is no way to recover the orginal data. In that case you should delete
the file from the FILESHARE server and re-upload it with the correct password.
Note also that giving your uploaded files a password provides an additional level of
security for the URL that's generated. Someone who learns the URL of a file that you've
uploaded will still need to know your upload password in order to properly decrypt your
file.
