What can be shared?
Currently, StashSync.app supports sharing files via public links. Notes and bookmarks are private to your account.
Creating a public share link
- Click the ⋮ (more actions) button on a file card and select Share, or click the file card to open the preview modal and use the share option there.
- In the Share File modal, choose a Link Expiration before creating the link:
| Option | Link expires |
|---|---|
| No expiry | Never expires |
| 24 hours | 1 day after creation |
| 7 days | 1 week after creation |
| 30 days | 1 month after creation |
- Click Create share link.
- Copy the link using the Copy Link button or the copy icon next to the URL.
Share links use the format: /s/[token] on the same domain as your app.
What recipients see
Anyone with the link can:
- View the file in their browser (for images, PDFs, videos, audio, and text files)
- Download the file directly
No account is required to access a shared file.
Download tracking
The share modal shows a download count in the status banner — the total number of times the file has been downloaded through its public link.
Revoking a share link
In the Share File modal, click Revoke. This immediately makes the file private and invalidates the existing link. Anyone who follows the old link will see a "not found" page.
Expiry behavior
When a share link's expiry time passes, the link stops working automatically — no action needed from you. The file itself is not deleted. You can create a new share link for the same file at any time.
Re-sharing a file
Each time you create a new share link (after revoking or after expiry), a new unique token is generated. Any previously shared links are invalidated.
