Private File Sharing Without Hosting Your Files

Most file sharing tools work by uploading files to the product provider. GhostDesk takes a different route: the file stays in your storage, and the share link gives temporary access to that file.

How GhostDesk share links work

When you create a share link, GhostDesk records the metadata needed to resolve the share page and uses your storage provider to create time-limited access. The guest experience is a clean public download page, but the file bytes are not hosted by GhostDesk.

• Choose a file or folder.
• Pick an expiry window such as 1 hour, 24 hours, or 7 days.
• Send the link to the recipient.
• Guests download directly from your storage path through time-limited access.

The privacy advantage

This model keeps the storage relationship simple. Your provider serves the file. GhostDesk provides the desktop workflow and the guest page experience.

When to use it

This approach is a strong fit for product assets, launch files, internal documents, design handoffs, and other files where you want a polished sharing experience without moving the source file into another storage product.
