How long are files kept, and how is storage counted?

Check space and validity before saving

Available space is checked before sending. Uploads reserve space; cancelling an unfinished upload releases that reservation. Sending the same content as a separate share also counts toward that share's space.

The default validity is up to three calendar months from saving, with shorter periods available. Refer to the expiry shown on each share. Changing its password or sharing it again does not extend that date.

Expiry or deletion blocks new access immediately

Stopping sharing, deleting, changing the password or expiry blocks new download authorizations. URLs already issued last at most 60 seconds, and downloads already started may finish. Downloaded copies cannot be retrieved.

Notes and files are no longer available through the share link, and account space is released immediately. Data enters a seven-day retention period before removal. This is not an additional access period.

Use a new link after restoring

During the seven-day retention period, choose a new validity period in My shares. If space allows, the content is restored as a new share with a new link. The old link and recipient permissions are not restored.

Stopping a share and disconnecting an AI tool differ

Stopping a share disables external access; you retain your content and its space usage. Sharing again creates a new link. Disconnecting an Agent revokes that device's account access while preserving existing shares and their access settings.

Check the files before sharing

Share only necessary files you have permission to provide. Directory packaging excludes some common credentials, caches and rebuildable dependencies. The sender must still check individual files and existing archives. Do not include real secrets or account credentials.

Deletion, expiry and password changes stop future access but cannot retrieve copies already downloaded. Recipients run projects in their own environments and within their own permissions.
