Share links

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

• How share links work

  Every FileMv share is a link anyone can open in a browser. The short and long link, visibility, 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)

  Any FileMv account, free included, can swap the random link ending for a chosen word, like filemv.com/s/portfolio. Rules, renaming 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 File request

  A FileMv File request is a share in reverse - senders upload into a folder of your Drive without an account. Password-protected, with limits.

• Paste - sharing text and code as a link

  Share a code snippet, log or note as a FileMv link, with or without an account. Size limits, visibility, password, expiry and what happens to guest pastes.
