Share links

Everything about links: what recipients see, passwords, expiry, custom URLs and embeds.

  • How share links work

    Every FileMv share gets a short link anyone can open in a browser. What the two link forms are, what sharing modes exist, and how to manage a link.

  • What recipients see

    Opening a FileMv share link shows previews for images, video, audio, PDF and Word files, folder browsing, and one-click or ZIP downloads - no account needed.

  • Password-protecting a link

    Add a password to any FileMv share so only people you told can open it. What the visitor sees, brute-force protection, and side effects to know about.

  • Link expiry and revoking a link

    Set a FileMv share link to expire after 1 day to 1 year, or revoke it instantly. Neither touches the file itself - it stays safe in your Drive.

  • Custom link slugs (vanity URLs)

    Paid FileMv accounts can replace the random link ending with a chosen word, like filemv.com/s/portfolio. Rules, renaming behaviour and pitfalls.

  • "Embed codes: HTML, BBCode, Markdown"

    Copy a ready-made HTML, BBCode or Markdown snippet for any FileMv share - forums, blogs and READMEs included. Available even without an account.

  • Receiving files with a collect link

    A FileMv collect link is a share in reverse - visitors upload files straight into a folder of your Drive, no account needed. Always password-protected.
