The password is on the Settings page Upload a file and make a share link Set the link's expiry and its download limit Share the link - it expires on its own when the time is up Share with a password Only someone who also knows the password can download a private file. In the „Upload” part, tick „Password” and type a password. Then drag the file into the upload area. Copy the link with the „URL” button and send it. Give the password another way, for example by phone. Change a link You can change the expiry and the download count of a file you already shared. In the file's row, select the pencil icon („Edit”). Change „Limit Downloads” or „Expiry”, or set a password. Select „Save changes”. The link stays the same. Send to your phone You can quickly send a file to your phone too. In the file's row, select the QR code icon („QR Code”). Scan the code with the phone's camera and open the link. For a picture, the „Hotlink” button gives a direct link that shows the picture itself. It does not work for a file with a password. Delete a file You do not have to wait for a share to run out. The „Downloads remaining” column shows how many more times it can be downloaded. In the file's row, select the bin icon („Delete”): the file is deleted at once and the link stops working. Frequently asked questions Why could the second person not download it? On your first upload, the default is one download and 14 days. If several people will download it, type a bigger number before you upload, or untick „Limit Downloads”. Gokapi remembers your last setting in this browser. What happens to the file when it runs out? Every hour, Gokapi deletes the files that ran out from the box, and the link stops working. Does someone need an account to download? No. They only need the link, and the password if you set one. Uploading needs Gokapi's admin sign-in. How big a file can I share? The box set an upper limit of 100 GB per file. If you upload the same file twice, Gokapi stores it only once. Where are the uploaded files? In Gokapi's own data store, on the box. You see their backup on the „Data and backup” tab. Documentation Official documentation ↗
